I'm starting with the bird Pokémon, I'll try my best to have an explanation:

Species: Tinamus pyropteron ("Flame-winged tinamou")

Firemou: Tinamus pyropteron pyroteron (nominate subspecies)
Pyromou: T. p. oriolus ("orange")
Flametross: T. p. diomedeamorpha ("albatross-morph [like]")

Species: Struthio polycephalus ("many headed ostrich")

Doduo: S. p. polycephalus (nom.)
Dodrio: S. p. tricephalus ("three heads")

Species: Anas necopinus ("unexpected duck") Farfetch'd

Species: Cygnus pyrocygnus ("swan the flaming swan" [lit.]) Moltres

Species: Gallus ignopictus ("chicken with coloured flames" [lit.])

Torchic: Gallus ignopictus ignopictus (nominate subspecies)
Combusken: G. i. brepinnas ("short feather)
Blaziken: G. i. giganteus ("giant")

Species: Ardea metallica ("metal heron")

Skarmory: A. m. metallica (nominate subspecies)
Fragmory: A. m. wolframus ("tungsten")


**I don't want suggestions.
**Pyromou, Firemou, Fragmory and Flametross are Fakemon.
**I think Moltres is a swan. I don't care what you think unless you agree with me.

That's all for now. I'm working on Spearow/Fearow.
