All featured Pocket Monsters and wild spawns in the Pokemon GO Flock Together Research Day event will be Flying-type critters.

You are advised to Mega Evolve a Flying-type Pokemon, as it will give you extra Candies, Candy XL, and more for the Pocket Monsters you catch during this event.

Mega Charizard Y, Mega Pidgeot, Mega Pinsir, Mega Aerodactyl, and Mega Rayquaza are good Flying-type creature that you can Mega Evolve for the bonus.

You will need a lot of Platinum Medals to reach level 50, so catch as many Flying-type Pokemon as possible. This will get you closer to finishing the Bird Keeper Platinum Medal, which requires you to catch 2,500 Flying-type critters.

You will be doing a lot of Field Research Tasks during the Flock Together Research Day event, so, working towards your Pokemon Ranger Platinum Medal is advisable (Complete 2,500 Field Research Tasks).
