Flamigo or Corviknight for a Pokémon Scarlet playthrough?

Flamigo is definitely one of the top 4 or 5 Pokemon that you can use in SV and likely the best flying Pokemon in the whole game. You can catch it at level 17 relatively early. At this point, it already has 115 base physical attack, double kick, and wing attack, and it learns low kick just one level later. This lets Flamigo immediately start putting in work in the next few boss battles. Flamigo’s flying and fighting attacks are resisted by few and super effective against many opponents, especially if you use one with scrappy. 90 base speed isn’t too far above average, but Flamigo still outspeeds almost everything because overleveling a Pokemon is easy in SV. Acrobatics and close combat are both powerful and spammable despite technically having drawbacks. Flamigo also learns throat chop, which improves its coverage.sourcetldr The current world record speedrun used a Flamigo, so it’ll probably be useful for you too.

I feel like corviknight is better because for most the pawmi line is essential for a playthrough, and overlaps the fighting type with flamigo (i made this mistake so I am experienced).

Short answer:NeitherLong answer:

Flamigo has good-ish stats at 115 base Attack and 90 Speed (only average), but only has access to Close Combat and Brave Bird (the only two moves that actually allows you to sweep in this game) only late game (7th-8th Gym), and its Fighting/Flying type has 5 weaknesses, some of which (Flying and Electric) have Pokemon that can easily outspeed you.

All in all, both Pokemon are not really good if you are finding a bird for your team. If you need one, you can use Kilowattrel or Staraptor, both as easily gotten as the above two.

Hope I helped!

Coviknightis better because of its Flying/Steel Type. While Flamigo is only available if you have a Pikachu/Raichu on your side!
