Effect

In battle

Generation VI

Gale Wings increases the priority of Flying-type moves by one. Affected Flying-type attacks and offensive status moves can be blocked by Quick Guard.

This Ability does not increase the priority of Flying-type Hidden Power, Natural Gift, or Judgment, as they are treated as Normal-type moves before being used.

Generation VII onwards

	This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: What happens if the HP vary before executing the move? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Gale Wings now works only if the user has full HP. It does not increase the priority of Flying-type Tera Blast.

Outside of battle

Gale Wings has no effect outside of battle.
