Johtonian Typhlosion - 9/10, and only because it has a narrower movepool than its Hisuian variant. Otherwise, it's still one of the best starters, and my personal favourite.
Hisuian Typhlosion - 10/10!! Absolutely love the addition of the Ghost-type as well as the slight redesign to match. Bonus points for adorable droopy ears and chill sleepy face, which makes it extra adorable.
