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. They synchronise their behaviour in part by the colours of the other birds in the flock, with those of breeding age possessing brighter pink plumage.
