Fly is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation I. It is found in HM02 in all generations except generation VII, where it's TM76. It allows the player to fly to previously visited towns, and can also be used in Battle. The Pokémon flies up on one turn, avoiding the opponent's attack, then it swoops down on the next turn, dealing a good amount of damage. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is available as TM14.

Trivia

• As of Generation V, several Pokémon that do not have the Flying-type or Levitate have become able to learn Fly, such as Golurk and Volcarona.
• Fly was removed in Generation VII, which removed HMs and replaced them with Poké Ride and Secret Technique.
• In Generation VIII, Corviknight was introduced as a Taxi Pokémon that could transport the player in a manner similar to Fly.
  • It bears a resemblance to the black bird sprite seen in earlier games.
