Flamigo

Flamigo's unique offensive typing and access to U-turn to pivot make it stand out from the other Fighting-types in NU. Scrappy allows Flamigo to hit Ghost-types like Chandelure and Hisuian Typhlosion as well as Tera Ghost users like Cinccino and Porygon-Z, which would usually block its Close Combat. Choice Scarf allows Flamigo to consistently revenge kill faster threats like Inteleon, Kilowattrel, and Tornadus, while Choice Band gives Flamigo the ability to 2HKO defensive tanks like Galarian Slowbro and Vaporeon with entry hazard support. However, faster Choice Scarf users, such as Flygon and Munkidori, threaten and can easily revenge kill Flamigo with their STAB attacks. Additionally, Flamigo’s STAB attacks can be easily played around thanks to it being Choice-locked and its STAB moves inviting common switch-ins like Galarian Slowbro, Bronzong, and Gligar. Flamigo also faces competition from other Fighting-types like Toxicroak, Paldean Tauros-W, and Paldean Tauros-F, since they offer better defensive typings and the ability to run other sets.
