Pokémon is a franchise known for its variety of types. Flying-type Pokémon are known for their speed and agility. Their ability to take flight during a battle makes them indispensable for countering many other Pokémon types. But Flying-type Pokémon aren’t only known for their combat ability, there are also many adorable little birds and bugs that deserve to get some love and attention too!
With so many Flying-type Pokémon, there is certainly a lot of variety to choose from when trying to decide on who is the cutest. These are 10 of the most adorable Flying-type Pokémon that fans wish they could cuddle with.
10 Starly
Some Pokémon are creatures that don’t resemble real-life animals at all, however, Starly looks more like a real-life bird than many other Flying-type Pokémon. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be a cutie pie! Starly has cute oval-shaped eyes, a long thin beak and an adorable tuft of hair on its head.
Starly is the first Pokémon in its evolutionary line and although his evolutions, Staravia and Staraptor, aren’t quite as cute as Starly, they’re definitely beautiful Pokémon. Anyone who likes bird-type Pokémon that are easy on the eyes should consider catching a Starly.
9 Emolga
Emolga is an Electric/Flying-type Pokémon. It has some of the cutest facial expressions you’ll ever see and loosely resembles a flying squirrel. Emolga has short arms, yellow wings, and heart-melting beady eyes.
Iris had an Emolga in the anime and it was known for being mischievous but loyal when she really needed its help. Every appearance by Emolga in the anime helped show fans how cute this flying squirrel truly is. For fans of adorable Flying-type Pokémon, Emolga is an absolute must catch!
8 Rowlet
Who doesn’t love a cute starter Pokémon? Rowlet has a unique look, it resembles an owl, although it is plumper in appearance than a regular owl. It has an absolutely adorable bowtie made of leaves and a color pattern of white, light brown and green.
The attribute that really makes Rowlet stand out is the fact that it’s a starter Pokémon, which means that if it is chosen by a trainer it is likely to have a place in their heart forever.

Ash had a Butterfree in the anime and the episode where Ash sets it free is still considered one of the most emotional episodes of the show to date. Butterfree has been a favorite in the Pokémon fandom ever since the beginning of the series due to its design, and that’s probably not going to change soon.
6 Combee
Perhaps unsurprisingly, another Bug/Flying-type Pokémon makes the list. This little honeycomb with wings is a darling Pokémon with three cheerful faces and a yellow, honeycomb-like body.

Who doesn’t want a bird that they can snuggle without being attacked? its friendliness combined with its small size gives Fletchling a notable position on this list.
