TYPHLOSION!!!!!
Type: FIRE
Ability: Blaze - When this Pokemon has 1/3 HP remaining or less, its Fire move's power is increased by 50%
Tier: UU
Stats:
| HP | 78 |
| Atck | 84 |
| Def | 78 |
| Sp. Atck | 109 |
| Sp. Def | 85 |
| Speed | 100 |
Author's Opinion: It has Eruption, Lava Plume to burn, and Solar Beam. However, Stealth Rock makes it hard to come into play. However, Eruption is a significant gain in Typhlosion's movepool, especialy when paired with a Choice Scarf.
Recommended Movesets:Nature: Timid/Modest
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp. Attack/252 Speed
~ Sunny Day
~ Solar Beam
~ Fire Blast/Eruption/Flamethrower/Lava Plume
~ Hidden Power Ice/Focus Blast
Yes, the SunnyBeamer. Sunny Day up, and then Solar Beam. You can use Fire Blast for more power but less accuracy, but Flamethrower has less power for more accuracy. Eruption is an option if you want a head start. Hidden Power Ice is an option to rid those walling Dragons, or Focus Blast to get rid of Blissey and Heatran, and perhaps Houndoom.
Nature: Mild/Rash
Item: Choice Scarf
EVs: 144 Attack/252 Sp. Attack/122 Speed
~ Eruption
~ Focus Punch
~ Overheat
~ Earthquake/Hidden Power Ice/Hidden Power Grass
Eruption at this first turn for the most power. Focus Punch for Blissey that expects Eruption. Overheat can be used late in the game when your HP is low, as well as getting a Blaze boost. Earthquke to get Heatran out of there. Or Hidden Power Ice can get rid of Dragons, or Hidden Power Grass to make Bulky Waters out of the field.
Countering Typhlosion:Stealth Rock wears it down. Bring in a Rapid Spinner for best effects.
Bulky Waters, particularly Gyarados, Suicune, and Milotic can take a hit from Hidden Power Grass and hit back with Waterfall and Surf respectively. Milotic can get a defense boost from a Burn if it switches in on a Lava Plume.
Flash Fire users can hurt the Choice Scarf set as long as they watch out for Earthquake.
Blissey can wall it, but beware Eruption, Focus Punch, and Focus Blast, especially if it has Full Health.
Tyranitar can take a Fire Attack and Pursuit it as it flees.
News and Improvements Section:Hello, this is, uh, the news section. August 7, 2009.
With his suggestion, I will add the Tier section to make things a lot helpful. It will be between the ability and stat sections. I will also link to previous reviews to make things a lot convenient in the section below. They will be listed alphabetically. Oh, and not to mention that this is also the first time I added the News Section
