Base Stats
This Pokémon apparently ties the base of its neck into a knot so that energy stored in its belly does not escape from its beak.
Thanks to a behavior of theirs known as “synchronizing,” an entire flock of these Pokémon can attack simultaneously in perfect harmony.
Flamigo Scarlet & Violet Guide
For Scarlet & Violet, we rate Flamigo C-Tier: a niche pick in Scarlet & Violet's meta. At 500 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Close Combat with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
Scrappy lets the Pokémon's normal and fighting moves hit ghost Pokémon. That's the one you want on Flamigo. Costar is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Tangled Feet works too if your team needs something different.
Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Flamigo is a physical attacker with base 115 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
In Scarlet & Violet, run Close Combat, Bravebird, U Turn, and Upperhand on Flamigo. Close Combat is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
