Isn't he the best fire Pokemon in Legends Z-A right now?

>Fire monotype
>hits like a fucking truck
>XS size barely takes hits
>XS version doesn't take an AoE penalty for the general Ranked competitive moveset

What is there to fix?
>>
Fur Coat!
>>
Speed boost
fixes everything
>>
>>58695974
What's there to fix?
Guts facade/flare blitz is already fantastic at obliterating things slower than it.
>>
>>58696044
>things slower than it.
that's the problem
it's really slow for a wallbreaker
>>
>>58696065
>it's really slow for a wallbreaker

I mean for balance sake it had to take a hit somewhere. Imagine even a +20 in speed in Z-A.
>>
>>58696044
also worth mentioning that both of these moves involve making it kill itself
it's weak to stealth rock (a problem in singles) and weak to one of the most common spread moves in doubles, rock slide
it really shouldn't have to die even faster just to make the most of its 130 attack
>>58696128
>I mean for balance sake it had to take a hit somewhere
its physical bulk is already terrible, it doesn't need to be shackled with poor speed too
>>
>>58696158
>its physical bulk is already terrible
No with an XS size

>it doesn't need to be shackled with poor speed too
A fast move set in Ranked fixes this. Low cooldown loops to keep it darting through the enemy. Use the attacks to move.

Swap HP and special attack to make a special tank that can punch special walls. Giving it speed is dumb because we don't need a worse Arcanine who is a worse Entei who is a worse Darmanitan. A wish passing fire type special tank that can safely burn physical attackers would be cool.

Alternatively, fur coat fits it perfectly. It has the same base defense as both other fur coat users Furfrou and alolan Persian, and has the same base HP as the Persian and less than Furfrou. A mixed wall support fire type is neat, specially when it can still lay the smack down if it needs to.
>>58696128
>>58696341
If we're talking about ZA, it doesn't need any changes. Flareon has massive special bulk to take on mewtwo and resists Xerneas stab faeries moves and can one shot either of them after a swords dance with +flareblitz, but it still has weaknesses in its HP and def stats
>>
Great. Another month long eevee thread to filter
>>

It’s not like this shithole has any threads worth anything. I’d rather an entire board of nothing but Eevee filler than the current crap

>>
>>58695974

>>58696341
>it being ok in one sidegame with completely different mechanics justifies being a shitmon in the entire rest of the 29 year old series
>>
The only Pokemon that isn't unsalvagable are Ledian and Delibird because the Church of r/Pokemon said so.
>>
>>58695974
uhh fur coat?
makes it quite tanky
i also think all eeveelutions should get a +20 stat buff to one of their two stats at 65, so +20 to his HP too, and eevee should learn extreme speed and swords dance
>>
It's pretty good in the ZA format. But then again the only Fire type that sucks in this game is Pyroar lol
>>

>>58696044
Why would you ever use Flareon over any other fully evolved Guts user?
The other Guts users can run Flame Orb or be burned, which is the best status for Guts since Guts ignore the attack drop. Most also have STAB on Facade or have STAB to hit Rock types too.
>>
>>58698308
>The other Guts users can run Flame Orb or be burned, which is the best status for Guts since Guts ignore the attack drop
it also does only 1/16 health per turn, compared to toxic's exponentially increasing damage

Sacred Fire couldn't even fix Entei so probably nothing
>>

Nothing is, as long as it isn't a thread Chappyfag and Jeetschizo would like to shit up.
>>
>>58695974
How about we fix you first OP? Really dude? There is nothing to fix. Flareon is good and loved just the way it is.
>>
>>58699607
Weird how a lot of slow 'mons become great when Speed becomes less important like in ZA. Almost like Speed being as vital as it is in the mainline games is fucked up.
>>
>>58698795
You just HAD to open your mouth
>>
>>58699626
I honestly hope real-time battles are here to stay, with additions/improvements down the line.
>>
>>58695974
I don't know shit but Speed Boost?
>>
>>58699626
You mean they balanced pokemon with high stats in other areas by giving them low speed so you can either compensate for it or they won’t be good? Wild. Next you’re gonna tell me slacking and mewtwo are held back by their abilities while shedinja over performs for its statline due to its ability.
>>
Hmm, I wonder why none of that mattered when overinflated Speed made it too easy to work around the supposedly balanced stats that were less important than Speed in the mainline games. It's even more suspicious that the useless attempt to defend mainline trash involves namedropping 'mons that have too many counterplays.
>>
sensual touch will fix her
>>
Extreme Speed and a Fire-type version of Pixilate replacing Guts. Boom, fixed.

why not that ability that burns on contact

>>58700238
A safer physical Fire move with more BP than Temper Flare would help a lot
>>
>>58695974
A offensive mon has to be either fast or tanky, and Flareon can't be tanky because Flare Blitz is its strongest move so speed it is, but it also has bad speed so we're getting nowhere.
>>
>>58701215
How do we fix your illiteracy?
>>
>>58695974
Fire/Normal typing for the kamikaze badly poisoned Facade and a niche in doubles vs flutter mane

Give it a stat rework where its SpA is 65, SpD 95 and Speed 110
>>
>>58695974
Everyone talks about how good an XS one is in Ranked but I never see them anywhere. What move set puts it above other fire Pokemon?
