Generation 5
Black

They are intelligent and will cooperate to catch prey. From the ground, they use a running start to take flight.

White

It runs better than it flies. It catches prey by running at speeds comparable to those of an automobile.

Black 2, White 2

It runs better than it flies. It takes off into the sky by running at a speed of 25 mph.

Generation 6
X

They are intelligent and will cooperate to catch prey. From the ground, they use a running start to take flight.

Y

It runs better than it flies. It takes off into the sky by running at a speed of 25 mph.

Omega Ruby

They are intelligent and will cooperate to catch prey. From the ground, they use a running start to take flight.

Alpha Sapphire

It runs better than it flies. It takes off into the sky by running at a speed of 25 mph.

Generation 7
Sun

Although apparently able to fly, they tended to run along the ground, averaging speeds of roughly 25 mph.

Moon

They hunted in flocks. When one Archeops had the prey cornered, another would swoop on it.

Ultra Sun

This ancient Pokémon’s plumage is delicate, so if anyone other than an experienced professional tries to restore it, they will fail.

Ultra Moon

Said to be an ancestor of bird Pokémon, the muscles it uses to flap its wings are still weak, so it needs a long runway in order to take off.
