Gale Wings (Japanese: はやてのつばさ Gale Wings) is an Ability introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature Ability of Fletchling's evolutionary line.

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 onward

Gale Wings now works only if the user has full HP.

Outside of battle

Gale Wings has no effect outside of battle.
