Lookin for a fire type
 
I'm lookin for a good fire type that learns some great moves to add to my team. I'm thinkin about either ninetales are Torkoal. If you can recommend me one of these are another fire type I did'nt mention I would appreciate it.

Thank you

wha...? Torkoal without yawn?

Torkoal- [atk or sp.atk + / speed -] @ leftovers
EV: Hp, atk/sp.atk or both, little def
-yawn/body slam
-few of the following: flamethrower, overheat, rock slide, sludge bomb, iron defense, curse, mimic

Quite a good Pokemon... I would have used it if it can roar (too bad it can't)

lol i knew i was forgetting something ^_^
right then use frostweavers options

Frostweaver July 30th, 2004 8:15 PM

lol... which is really just "there's the movepool now you go make something up" XD Torkoal is highly flexible... I really don't know which one suits your team the most. It's quite an underrated Pokemon that deserves mentioning.

Ice demon July 31st, 2004 7:15 PM

i know everyone uses Blaziken and to be honest i think Torkoal with its flexibility and great defense should be given some more attention.

T.W North July 31st, 2004 7:25 PM

Id agree with Sceptile Master; Houndoom is the best. Except, instead of Iron Tail, id have it know sunny day.

Ice demon July 31st, 2004 8:00 PM

Well i think its for RS but if not then go with charizard
yup charizard ^_^.................

T.W North July 31st, 2004 8:58 PM

actually, you can get Houndoom on R/S, but you need Pokemon Colloseum(sp?), which unfortunatly i dont have. I think you can get Houndour on FR/LG, but thats not out yet, so there's no point in saying that...

Frostweaver July 31st, 2004 11:15 PM

really it all depends...

Blaziken is one of the best because of its mix sweeping ability along with a huge movepool (even got Quick attack). However, its downside is that it's very slow and sluggish moving. It is still an OU.

Charizard can buff its attack power in MANY ways, as it learns both dances along with belly drum... that's a lot of buff up options. Its special attack is very good as well, along with high speed. Its downside must be the terrible type combination. It's only a BL though.

Thyplosion... completely forgotton after losing thunderpunch. Whatever it can do, someone else can probably do it better unless it's a UU tourney.

Houndoom is just stuck on special sweeping and only almost. It can sunnybeam, and pursuit is always a nice way to say "die zams!" Flash fire and early bird are both helpful abilities. However, dark types does give it the common brick break weakness, and it's Blissey/Milotic/Ludicolo/any other special tank screwed unlike most other fire types, because it can't mix sweep (anymore).

Marcargo has like awesome stats and everything, only with a x2 weakness to almost everything and 2 x4 weakness to mess it over. Even Aggron and Articuno aren't as bad as Marcargo (and these two have some of the worst type combination possible)
