Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Fire (October 24-31)

Feeling a bit sorry for Heatmor know :/
Were there really only three new fire type families in X and Y? Oh wait, there was only one fire type family introduced in Gen IV too!

Typhlosion line: It's always been my favourite starter, although I don't exactly know why. I do know that they're awesome in every way, however. Thank god its doing better than Charizard.

Houndoom line: What's this? Two fire types from Johto??? Houndoom has been a Pokemon that's recently grown on me. The design's cool and menacing and its typing allows for some awesome stab moves.

My favorite Fire-type is Arceus-Fire Darmanitan. He looks really cool (a flame monkey? yes please!) and he has a monstrous base 140 Attack and the Sheer Force ability, which allows it to smash entire teams both in-game and competitively with STAB Fire Punch / Flare Blitz. When paired with Ninetales, even some frail Water-type Pokemon like Starmie can be OHKOed by a Life Orb-boosted Flare Blitz. It also has a bunch of coverage moves Rock Slide, Earthquake and Superpower. So yeah, I really like this Pokemon.

Voted for quite a few of these, I love fire types <3
My votes included the Charizard line, The Houndoom line and the Ninetales line but I voted for some others to.

We're now roughly 3 quarters of the way through the Favorite Pokemon Tournament, with this week's voting being one of the most popular to date! This was a hotly contested battle between so many Pokemon, with a back and forth battle for first place all week long. So while it didn't scorch the competition, the Pokemon you selected as your favorite Fire-type is...



The next round of voting should be just as exciting, as we're moving on to Psychic type Pokemon. Depending where you are, the next poll should be up either late this evening or at some point tomorrow. Stay tuned!
