What's your headcannon on how they fly? >They use their

they flap their heads

They have wings underneath the plumage

>>32438285
They don't really fly. Their legs are incredibly strong, allowing them to jump great distances.

>>32438307
That's retarded

They don't, they only learn Fly as a game mechanic.

Either that or they run really fast, jump and hover over long distances with whatever stubby fucking wings they might have, and when they touch ground they repeat the process which coincidentally is how I believe Archeops "flies" as well

But again as you said, that's retarded and not really flying. I'd buy it though, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief that much

It's stated in a Pokedex entry that Doduo has wings.

>Yellow Dex Entry: Its short wings make flying difficult. Instead, this Pokémon runs at high speed on developed legs.

They have tiny wings that are hidden under their feathers, like real-life kiwi birds.

my HEADcannon is that they absolutely dont fly

>>32438307
What is Bounce?

>Its short wings make flying difficult. Instead, this Pokémon runs at high speed on developed legs.

With their wings, duh.

Not just glide, but actual flight.

where is the thrust coming from? how is it even moving forward? it doesn't flap its wings or move anything to generate thrust, it just spontaneously accelerates forward as if by magic.

That's fucking retarded.

In theory it could work by Garchomp doing a sharp dive, then using momentum and the wind to change into an ascent, gaining altitude and then gliding. In theory it could keep that going for a while if he could stay in the air to begin with; Think the Batman Arkham games.

But either way it's retarded that it could reach supersonic speeds with that

>>32438362
That kind of "mistakes" stopped happening in the anime starting from Gen II, try using an excuse from this century.

This is really silly.

>>32438418
It still makes no sense, just look at it. I don't need to source other shit when the nonsense is right there

>>32438400
I'm more upset by its posture. I might be willing to suspend my disbelief if it looked cooler, if it was all tucked in with the fins out at hard angles or something resembling an actual plane. But no, it's just hanging there like it's got a rope around its waist.

>>32438348

Jesus Fucking Christ. Things like this make me wonder how the environment even manages to coexist if things like chomp just fuck things up this badly. Then again, given how many winguls there are ingame, they probably reproduce like crazy.

>>32438285
Wings are hidden inside the plumage like emus and ostriches.

Consider this. Tyranitar destroys mountains. Aggron rebuilds them. Literally an entire mountain range can be reduced to rubble, then raised from the earth again in under a year in the pokemon world. Entire ecosystems can move, or outright swap in a few months because something decided to move in and fuck the terrain over. And this is before considering legendaries of any kind. And these things have to adapt to that shit.

The pokemon world isn't a crappy place to live because you'll get mauled to death by rats if you leave your house, it's a shitty place because there is literally nothing you can do if some douchebag Tyranitar decides to knock down the mountain you live under, or some strong Rock/Ground pokemon raises a mountain a few miles coastwad from you, turning your home into a desert thanks to the rainshadow.

Doduo moves both heads up and down super fast, Dodrio moves both outward heads up and down super fast

>>32438285
The fly HM allows them to fly regardless of their tiny wings >>32438336. I also use this headcanon with other tiny birds that wouldn't realistically be able to fly their trainer around on their backs.

Just like gliscor

They jump good.

It works for superman why can't it work for super birbs?

>>32440984
Early Superman couldn't fly and just jumped really high. His powers have since changed and now he can truly fly.

>>32441008
Kek yeah maybe some versions of superman but don't act like it's been one character continously developing over these 60 years. That's not how comic books work, there's even two different loving superman's right now. Sure some fly but generally superman jumps. Even in the movies

>>32438307
I'll stand with you on this. They don't have any obvious way of generating sustained flight, and the move bounce is functional identical in battle, suggesting that dodrio might just be jumping pretty high instead of flying.

>>32438285
They go upside-down and use their legs like a helicopter

Didn't Hawlucha break trick room by kicking it. XY has a bunch of crazy shit. Not "thunder armor" level shit but still crazy.

>>32441642

It broke it by spinning and using X-Scissor.

Trick Room is a Psychic-type move and X-Scissor is Bug, so there's at least some logic there.

came here to post this. Good job, anon.

The alternative would be this >>32438296 in my own opinion. Ostriches don't really look like they have wings except the ones with the white tipped feathers so I think it's entirely plausible.
