Gale Wings is an ability in the Pokémon series that allows certain Flying-type Pokémon to gain a speed boost when they enter battle. Specifically, it increases the Pokémon's Speed stat by 1.5 times if they use a Flying-type move as their first action. This ability is particularly useful for setting up offensive strategies, allowing Pokémon to outspeed opponents. Introduced in the Pokémon X and Y games, Gale Wings is primarily associated with the Pokémon Talonflame. However, it has been subject to balance adjustments in competitive play, as its effectiveness can significantly impact battle dynamics.
