Verdict

Recommended for PvP
Flamigo doesn't stand out as a raid attacker but has a place in PvP, ranked #44 (Tier A) in Great League with a 61.04% overall win rate. With base stats of 227/145/193 and a max CP of 3,117, its stat distribution is more offense-oriented. Run Wing Attack with Brave Bird for best results. Worth investing in a second charged move to expand coverage and improve matchups across the board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Flamigo in Pokemon GO?
Flamigo's best moveset is Wing Attack (fast) and Brave Bird (charged). This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Flamigo's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Flamigo is weak to Electric, Fairy, Flying, Ice, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Flamigo resists Bug, Ground, Dark, Fighting, Grass-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Flamigo effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Flamigo's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Flamigo's maximum CP is 3,117 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,757 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Flamigo's CP is calculated from its base stats: 227 Attack, 145 Defense, and 193 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Flamigo caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,575 CP, or 1,969 CP with weather boost (level 25).
Is Flamigo good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Flamigo is ranked #44 (Tier A) in Great League with a 61.04% overall win rate. The recommended moveset is Wing Attack and Brave Bird. The ideal IV spread for Great League is 0/13/14 — for CP-capped leagues like Great League and Ultra League, lower Attack IVs with higher Defense and Stamina allow Flamigo to reach a higher level within the CP cap, gaining more total stat product. Flamigo is ranked #34 (Tier A) in Ultra League with a 65.47% overall win rate. The recommended moveset is Wing Attack and Brave Bird. The ideal IV spread for Ultra League is 0/15/13 — for CP-capped leagues like Great League and Ultra League, lower Attack IVs with higher Defense and Stamina allow Flamigo to reach a higher level within the CP cap, gaining more total stat product. When deciding which league to prioritize, consider where Flamigo has its best ranking and win rate. Unlocking a second charged move (costing 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy) is highly recommended for PvP, as it gives Flamigo better coverage and the ability to bait shields more effectively.
What CP is a 100% IV Flamigo?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Flamigo has the following CP at key levels: 1,181 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,575 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,969 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,117 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Flamigo, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Flamigo ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Flamigo in Pokemon GO?
Flamigo can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Flamigo can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Flamigo be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Flamigo's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Flamigo availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
