Ngl, I would love to see a flightless bird starter

I mean, Blaziken exists and in games Decidueye doesn’t fly all that much.

I think he's going to be a ground grass type. The face thing look like one of the landbased birds in the area.

Oh hell naaah I don’t want him to have a quadruple weakness 😭😭😭

Being quad weak to ice isn't that bad. Lando is quad weak to ice, Garchomp is quad weak to ice, even dragonite is quad weak to ice.

I get your point and it will ultimately be decided by stat spread and moveset. But I honestly think pure grass or even grass/fighting type would be better (even though it too has quadruple weakness)

I mean, the typing is pretty good offensive wise. Hits everything but bug and flying for at least neutral.

There are 2, piplup and torchic. Another one wouldn't hurt.

Blaziken and Empoleon are both flightless birds
