Flamigo (Japanese: カラミンゴ Karamingo) is a dual-type Flying/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Flamigo attacking with its neck untied

Flamigo is an avian Pokémon resembling a flamingo. It is mostly pink, with a rounded body and wings, and a long serpentine neck that's usually tied into a knot at the base. It is said that Flamigo ties its neck into a knot to keep the energy inside its belly from escaping. When it unties its neck, Flamigo is able to attack by rapidly swinging its head. Flamigo also has tall thin white legs with webbed feet, a white face, a curved beak with a black tip, and yellow eyes with black pupils. Flamigo typically stands on one of its legs.

Flamigo is a social Pokémon and lives in flocks, whose populations can reach over 10,000 members. Flocks of Flamigo are known to attack together in perfect harmony, via a behavior known as "synchronizing". These flocks typically dwell near bodies of water and in wetlands.

Flamigo is the only known Pokémon that can have Costar as an Ability.

Violet Thanks to a behavior of theirs known as “synchronizing,” an entire flock of these Pokémon can attack simultaneously in perfect harmony. Legends: Z-A A flock of Flamigo can reach numbers of over 10,000. The sight of one of these massive flocks moving together in sync is incredible to behold.

Trivia

• There is a visual error on Flamigo's Paldea Pokédex image, showing two Flamigo with their wings both spread out and tucked in.

Origin

Flamigo appears to be based on a flamingo, and its Paldean origin may reference the fact that Spain has the largest flamingo population in Europe. Its knotted neck and body shape may be a reference to a balloon animal, a boxing glove, or a plastic flamingo lawn ornament. Flamigo's classification and Fighting-type may be a reference to the elaborate, synchronized courtship dances performed by flamingos, which can encompass the entirety of a flock. Flamigo's Shiny variant's pale pink coloration may reference how the bright pink color of flamingos' plumage becomes a duller shade of pink the longer they go without eating.

Name origin

Flamigo may be a combination of flamingo and amigo (Spanish and Portuguese for friend).

Karamingo may be a combination of 絡み karami (linkage; entanglement; relationship; involvement) and flamingo.
