NU Flamigo

Flamigo @ Choice Band
Ability: Scrappy
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird
- Feint
- U-turn

If you're not an amigo of Flamigo, you should watch out, as this unassuming bird packs quite a punch! Flamigo uses its powerful Fighting / Flying STAB moves in Brave Bird and Close Combat, bolstered by its Choice Band, to make light work of walls like Galarian Slowbro and Gligar. Feint provides a reliable, albeit weak, priority attack to pick off weakened foes that may otherwise cause issues, such as Kilowattrel, Inteleon, and Focus Sash Cincinno. With its coveted Scrappy ability, Flamigo can break past Ghost-types like Basculegion, Decidueye, and Tera Ghost Registeel without wearing itself down with recoil. Tera Fighting enhances the power of Close Combat to seemingly unwallable levels, threatening a 2HKO on walls like Avalugg, Bronzong, and Gastrodon with ease. Flamigo does suffer from success, however, as it wears itself down quickly with Brave Bird recoil and Stealth Rock chip damage; teammates like Tentacruel and Tsareena can provide entry hazard removal and safe entry points with their pivot moves. Vaporeon is another excellent pivot that can provide Wish support to keep Flamigo healthy. To help Flamigo muscle through checks like Gligar, Stealth Rock setters like Flygon and Swampert can partner with it, similarly providing pivot support.

If you're not an amigo of Flamigo you should watch out, as this unassuming bird packs quite a punch! Flamigo uses its tried and true tandem of Fighting / Flying STABs wouldn't really call this "tried and true" as it's a very unique typing, think that's just your RU main speaking lol. I'd just mention that both its stabs are super high BP, further bolstered by its Choice Band, to make light work of would-be checks like Galarian Slowbro and Gligar. Feint provides a reliable, albeit weak, priority attack to pick off weakened foes that may otherwise cause issues, such as Choice Scarf Chandelure and Espeon Espeon is not viable, I would mention Focus Sash Cincinno here. With its coveted Scrappy ability, Flamigo can break past Ghost-types like Decidueye, Golurk, and Palossand would sooner mention Tera Ghost Pokemon than Golurk and Palossand, also meantion Basculegion here without wearing itself down with recoil. Tera Fighting is used to enhance the power of Close Combat to seemingly unwallable levels Tera Fight also lets you resist rocks instead of be neutral but you don't have to add that if you don't want to, threatening a 2HKO on walls like Avalugg, Bronzong, and Gastrodon with ease. Flamigo does suffer from success, however, as it wears itself down quickly with Brave Bird recoil and Stealth Rock chip damage; teammates like Tentacruel and Tsareena can provide entry hazard removal and safe entry points with their pivot moves. Vaporeon is another excellent pivot that can provide Wish support to keep Flamigo healthy. To help muscle through checks like Gligar, Stealth Rock setters like Flygon and Swampert can partner with Flamigo, similarly providing pivot support as well.

Flamigo uses its powerful Fighting / Flying STABs STAB moves in Brave Bird and Close Combat, bolstered by its Choice Band, to make light work of would-be checks (if they're 2HKOed by band moves, are they actually would-be checks? if they can't check it, something like 'walls' would work) like Galarian Slowbro and Gligar. Feint provides a reliable, albeit weak, priority attack to pick off weakened foes that may otherwise cause issues, such as Kilowattrel, Inteleon, and Focus Sash Cincinno.
