Tropius should never even be considered to be one of the best flying types.I disagree, except the dusclops and ampharos part. Manectric in emerald is awesome, but does have a poor movepool.Ampharos is way better, and has a slightly better movepool. Swellow is not one of the best flying types in the game. Gyarados,Salamence, and maybe Tropius are among the best. Swellow is fast and has good atk., but can be taken out easily by a rock-type-rock-move using pokemon..........
