Flamigo#973

Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 86% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 5 weaknesses, 4 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Ground-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (115) is 40 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 74% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

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.

Breeding

All Egg Groups →

Offspring can come from 72 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
