What is a good moveset for Flareon?

1 vote

Another trade Pokemon. It came with:

Flamethrower: STAB, high power, good accuracy.

Dig: Good power, can be used to dodge attacks, high accuracy, used to deal with Rock types.

Facade: Decent power, nice effect, high accuracy.

Toxic: One of the best Stat moves there is. Inflicts toxic poison.

Well, Flareon has a terribly complimenting movepool, in comparison with the stats. To compensate for this, you'll want to be able to cripple the opponent. You were on the right track with Toxic, because everyone hates being badly poisoned, but with base 65 HP and base 60 Defense, you'd be better off with using Will-O-Wisp.

With a Base 110 Special Defense, and the effects of the burn halving the opponent's Attack, it gives the illusion of Flareon have a base 120 Defense stat. Under these conditions, Flareon can actually be a decent Defensive force, as well as being naturally Offensively inclined!

I love your addition of Dig to hit Rock-types, but you'd be better off with Iron Tail, if you have access to it. If not though, Dig is definitely the next best choice.

Flamethrower is your best option for a Fire attack.

Finally, Facade is quite situational in its usefulness. I'd replace it with a reliable and potent Return.

I can tell you really understand Flareon's battle style, and I commend you for that, dude. Flareon is the worst of the Eeveeloutions, and everyone seems to think that Flareon is useless. It's not useless in the least, but it does require some way of evening out the odds against the opponent.

I totally forgot about Iron Tail. Iusually teach my evveeloutions dig, so I just taught Flareon Dig.
Dig on a flareon?
1 e-quake = *tries not to think of the poor Flareon*
Iron tail is better,as  i have seen quite a few rocks with e-quake.....

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers

description

Role: Baton Passer

Trait: Flash Fire

EVs: 64 HP / 192 Def / 252 SDef

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

  • Curse
  • Wish
  • Baton Pass
  • Flame Charge

Best Eevelution.

This guy has rather beastly Special Defense, and with 252 SDef Ev's, he's definetally good there.
And now you can curse yourself up for good Physical Defense Aswell, and a good attack stat. ( Better )

Wish keeps you alive, and now you Nail e'm hard with Flame Charge ( Yeah.. ) But using Flame Charge can get you back some of the speed you lost, when you're done, Hand it over to another pokemon with Baton Pass!

Double/Triple Battle

Flareon (M) @ Heat Rock
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 124 HP / 252 SAtk / 132 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Helping Hand
- Sunny Day
- Heat Wave
- Shadow Ball

It can't do much in multi-battle, so I just decided it would best be used to give Sunny Day. Helping Hand provides team support. Heat Wave can do some damage with STAB, Flash Fire, and Sun. It hits multiple foes also. Shadow Ball is coverage.

Overheat is bad cuz 3/4 moves are special..
Fire-blast is a Special attack as well. Though personally I think that this set needs less Fire type moves.

Gen V

Flareon (M) @ Red Card

Trait: Flash Fire

EVs: 252 HP / 36 SDef / 220 Spd

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

  • Baton Pass
  • Flame Charge
  • Wish
  • Substitute

Yeah, still no Flare Blitz. As such, Baton Passing for it. Flame Charge gives you some Speed boosts while you do some damage. Wish is for healing being passed, and Substitute can also be passed. Baton Pass is for actual passing. Red Card just switches out the foe, which can allow Flareon to stall for time to set up. Your EVs give you max HP for Wish and Substitute. Also, Speed so you can Baton Pass before being hit (Flame Charge helps with this.) Also, a few defensive EVs. Since Guts is going to be useless, immunity to Fire is the way to go. I credit DT with this set.

Flareon

Umbreon Wannabe

Ability: Flash-fire
Nature: Impish
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 hp, 200 def, 58 S.def


Curse
Toxic
Wish
Fire-fang


This is the Flareon who really wants to be Umbreon but doesn't have good Defense or hp so is just a wannabe. Curse boosts his Pathetic(Capital P on purpose) defense stat and give him a little more offensive power. Toxic is for Stalling. Wish provides healing and support. Fire-fang is for STAB and gets rid of Steel types that are immune to Toxic something Umbreon could never do but that really doesn't help him much. Flash fire gives him an immunity and Leftovers heals him.

If you could do it better with Umbreon, why do it with Flareon?
Because he is in a lower tier.

Flame-charge
Flamethrower
Shadow-ball
HP(Grass)


Flame-charge is just for getting his Speed high enough to use. Flamethrower is STAB. Shadow-ball and HP(Grass) are for coverage.

My Flareon knows:

Return( max happiness AR code :D)
Last Resort ( I usually use all moves first)
Flamethrower ( More accuracy than fire blast)
Fire Blast ( more power but lower accuracy, thinking about changing)

Switch both Fire Blast and Flamethrower for Fire Fang and Iron Tail. Flareon are very hard to give a special moveset.

I dont care what anyone says, Some people dont see flareons attack quality.
Item=Flame orb/Toxic orb
Nature=Lonely
Ability=Guts
Overheat=It may not be a physical move im goin for, but it ups the attack due to guts,Stab
Flame charge=Its raises speed,Stab,and guts raises it if used overheat.
Facade=Good power, physical.
Flail=Once he gets down to it, His attack could be 200, if he survives.
