Question

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.

Interesting how I used Facade. It's like I was predicting Guts.

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Nitro Charge
- Substitute
- Wish
- Baton Pass

---

I think Fire Fang would be better, since Flareon normally has low Special Attack and good attack.
Dig is good, but the point of Facade is that it should be used when the user has a status condition. Still, I guess that's good enough. Judging by the rest of Flareon's moveset though, I think Toxic seems a little out of place, since this Flareon looks kind of like it's a Sweeper. Maybe Iron Tail to replace Dig, though. That way, you will have a defense against Rock Types, and your opponent would just switch pokemon if you used Dig and they were worth fighting.

Answer 1

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.

Comments

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.....

Answer 2

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 214 HP / 4 Atk / 110 Def / 180 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Fire Fang
- Iron Tail
- Wish

So for starters, I love Flareon. Now that we have that out of the way...

Curse will boost up your defense (201) and your attack (297) by 1.5.

Both of them get that sexy .5^ thing where 5 is considered higher and rounds up. Which is pretty nice to try to milk every possible stat up you can off of this thing.
It also lowers speed, which isn't really needed on this set. No speed reducing nature due to the fact that I'm never using special attack, but there may be times that I need to get off a Wish without being stupidly slow for no apparent reason. :L

Fire Fang is where I'm getting my STAB here. 65 base is hard to really go off of for a primary attacking move, but it gets STAB for 98 base power, which decent accuracy. Iron Tail hits for 100 base power ( barely higher ) with less accuracy, for coverage on types that resist you. Look out for water, that'll just be up to team support.

Wish is there to heal you and team mates. Your HP is at 324 (162 HP wish passes ) so you can give most 301 HP abusers more than 50% HP back, which is nice. Pokemon like Masquerain that take 50% damage from rocks on entry can benefit greatly from this.

And finally down to team support. Ground and Water types give this guy the most hassle of all. Resisting his attacks and being able to hit back with super effective STAB and such.
Because of those types being his primary weakness, Serperior can be a great tank to support him. Supporting moves such as Leech Seed can help Flareon become a more versatile tank, while Wish passing to Serperior can give it a more reliable recovery source.
Sunny Day support helps Flareon's STAB attacks flourish as well if you have an extra slot on your Serpy ( depends really on your set ) and Dual screens are also very useful. Mostly Light Screen considering Flareon can boost his physical bulk, but his special bulk can't be boosted higher than where it stands at 301.

Answer 3

Thats really good but I would change Facade with Shadow Ball for a suprise on your rivals(friends).

Answer 4

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Flash-fire
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defense

---

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.

Comments

Your Attack will make Flame Charge do lower damage

Flame-charge is just for getting his Speed high enough to use.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Comments

If you could do it better with Umbreon, why do it with Flareon?

---

Because he is in a lower tier.

Answer 8

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)

Comments

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

Answer 9

Flareon is lacking a good physical fire move and a bad physical movepool so why not go mixed
Flareon@Life orb
Ability:Flash fire
116Hp/140Atk/252SpAtk
Nature:Mild
-Overheat
-Shadow ball
-Superpower
-Yawn

Answer 10

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.

Answer 11

My Favorite eeveelution for some reason
Flamethrower - do I need to say
Superpower - get rid of rock types
Curse - get back what was lost from superpower
Fire Fang - physical STAB move

Answer 12

Flareon (M) @ Toxic Orb

Trait: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

• Flame Charge
• Fire Fang
• Facade
• Superpower

Answer 13

Here's my Gutsy Flareon:

Adamant nature
Ability: Guts
Held Item: Toxic Orb
EVs: 252 Atk 252 Spe 4 SpD

- Fire Fang STAB
- Facade Powered by the Toxic Orb with Guts
- Superpower Powerful coverage against Rock-Types
- Protect Stall and for Toxic Orb to activate

So in this set, you basically use Protect for a good stall long enough for Toxic Orb to take effect, then your moves will be even more powerful. So now you can attach with STAB Fire Fang, Facade, and even Superpower. You'll be sweeping until you faint from the poison of Toxic Orb, much like the recoil effects of Life Orb.

Here's a bulky Flareon that no one would really expect:

Impish nature
Ability: Flash Fire
Held Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 Def. 252 Atk. 4 HP

- Dig Stall and then attack, covers Rock weakness
- Will-O-Wisp causes Burns and increases your Defense
- Curse Boosts the Atk. and Def. at the expense of Speed
- Substitute Make a Decoy especially when Defense is high enough

OK, so this strategy is a little unorthodox, even for Flareon, so basically, you are trying to build as much Defense as a burn supporter with Will-O-Wisp and Defensively with Curse. Substitute is there in case if the enemy tries to attack, but then again, your Defense will be very high, so that's why they'll have trouble taking you down, especially when they have a burn and that you have been boosting your Defense with Curse. Also Curse makes up for it's physical boost in attack, so that's why Dig is there for a reason, in case if they are on the attack, so you can be semi-invulnerable for a turn whether they have a burn or not, and/or if they keep breaking your Substitute. Prediction against your opponent is key when using a physically Defensive Flareon like this one.

Answer 14

Here is a nice moveset I use that isn't common. (I made it myself!)

 Flareon @ Focus Sash / Focus Band - Ability: Guts

Detect/Protect/Wish
Flame Charge
Fire Fang/Superpower
Charm/Curse
252 ATT
252 DEF
4 SPD/HP

Flareon has an awesome base attack for a fire type. Sadly he does not have the greatest defense. Detect and Protect will allow you to predict switch into another Pokemon (use protect and if they use EQ switch into a flying) or wish will heal you or another Pokemon. Flame Charge is there to boost up your speed, while getting a bit of damage in (Also, a STAB move). Fire Fang is great to have for STAB, and possibility of flinching and burning. It also has a nice amount of damage to it. Superpower, on the other hand, can take out rock enemies, which often carry rock blast and EQ. Charm is useful for quickly lowering an enemy's attack, while curse, if coupled with wish, can be used to raise attack and defense. Curse will also lower speed, but if you have flame charge, this shouldn't be a problem.

If you really want a different item, go for the red card. It will allow you to set up a bit, since it sends the enemy's Pokemon back in when flareon is attacked. Flash Fire is almost useless unless you predict an enemy using a fire move and switch in to flareon.

Answer 15

Flareon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Flame Charge
- Superpower
- Iron Tail
- Baton Pass

Answer 16

best baton passer!!!

• flame charge(STAB and speed boost)
• work up(special and physical attack boost)
• double team(self explaining)
• baton pass(all those stats have to go somewhere, right?)

Answer 17

In my opinion, there is only one choice for a Flareons moveset and stats. The only logical choce is to make Flareon a mixed sweeper, giving her a special atack nature and full boost her in Attack and Special Attack. Here is the nature, stats and other details to the Flaeron that I use.

Flareon: Female- lvl 100
Nature: Quiet
IV's: 29-hp, 30-atk, 25-def, 30-spa, 31-spd, 23- spe
EV's: 252-atk, 252-spa, 6-spd
Stats:
HP: 269
ATK:358
DEF:150
SPA:316
SPD:257
SPE:142

Moveset:
Shadow Ball/Bite: I vary between these moves, depending on what is actually necessary. On the Shadow Ball side, it is a good special move, good for Ghost and Psychic types.However, Bite is also good on Psychic and Ghost types. Although, Bite is slightly weaker, but also has the likelihood of making the opponent flinch. I usually go with Bite, just so that she can exploit her high attack.

Hidden Power (Grass): Good for all of her weaknesses, rock, ground, and water. Good especially since unlike other fire types, she can't learn solarbeam

Flamethrower: STAB, type diversity against Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel types. I think its essential.

Dig/Iron Tail: I actuall vary between these moves. I think I should just keep Dig, for Rock, Steel, Poison, Electric, and Fire types. However, Itron Tail has better power, if by a slight margin, and it can hit on the turn it is used, unlike DIg, which attacks the next turn.
