>>20691688I don't know, Flare seemed to have a lot of Fire associations. Aside from their name, they use a few Fire type pokemon, one of their top members is a Fire type specialist, the grunts hair looks like fire, etc.
Flare doesn't use that many Fire type pokemon but look at Aqua and Magma, they are Water and Ground teams respectively and they used only 1 (or 2 in Emerald) mons of those types. So Flare could still be a Fire team.
