Flareon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Flareon is a fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 65) and a physical attacking profile. Its Flash Fire ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Flareon. Build around what Flareon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
