What's up with Flying types and their general depressing lack of STAB options?
>Charizard
>Butterfree
>Gyarados
>Aerodactyl
>Dragonite
>Zapdos
>Noctowl
>Ledian
>Xatu
>Jumpluff
>Beautifly
>Masquerain
>Ninjask
>Altaria
>Tropius
>Salamence
>Mothim
>Vespiquen
>Drifblim
>Chatot
>Togekiss
>Yanmega
>Gliscor
>Rotom-Fan
>Shaymin-Sky
>Unfezant
>Swoobat
>Sigilyph
>Archeops
>Thundurus
>Landorus
>Hawlucha
None of these Pokémon gets a Flying type move over 80 base power(from their highest attacking stat) that is not two turns or doesn't require special conditions like not holding an item.
Why is this allowed? No other type has a pool this large of Pokémon unable to use a STAB of their type with good effect. Is there any reason why Game Freak decided to screw over so many Flying types?
