Flavor Text

: It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees.

: When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
: It flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.
: When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
: It flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.

: It can fly at speeds rivaling jet planes. It dives into flocks of bird Pokémon and gulps the entire flock down whole.
: The protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey.
: It flies at the speed of sound while searching for prey, and it has midair battles with Salamence as the two compete for food.
: Its fine scales don’t just reduce wind resistance—their sharp edges also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it.
