Flareon's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Flareon PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Like with all of the evolutions of Eevee, Flareon makes for perhaps one of the best budget options for its typing as a raid attacker. Outside of the normal Mega, Primal and Shadow options, Flareon is currently ranked within the top 20 of Fire types. Pair this with the almost permanent availability to obtain Eevee for the necessary candy, and the lack of legacy Fire moves in Flareon’s movepool, and it makes the flame Pokémon an excellent choice for beginning trainers. For the quickest damage output, be sure to give Flareon Fire Spin and Overheat.

🛡️ Gyms

The same cannot be said for defending gyms however, as Flareon is ranked in our F tier of gym defenders due to its lack of overall bulk. Pure Fire types also run into problems due to Ground being a common attacking type, making Flareon a poor choice, even in the Eevee themed gym groups.

Flareon PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little League

Ranking extremely low, Flareon makes for a poor battler in the Little League. It’s pure Fire typing and moveset of Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast can pick up a big win against Jumpluff. However, it also suffers bigger losses at the hands of meta leaders Shuckle and Marill.

🔵 Great League

Fairing no better in this higher league, Flareon is at a huge disadvantage against meta leaders such as Diggersby, Clodsire and Azumarill. The moveset recommended for Flareon here is Fire Spin, Flamethrower and finally Superpower which would require the use of an Elite TM to obtain. All that, and Flareon can only pick up big wins against the normal and Shadow variants of Alolan Sandslash, so unlikely to be worth the resources.

🟡 Ultra League

Going from bad to worse, the Ultra League is especially unkind to Flareon, with major losses against Altered Forme Giratina, Feraligatr, Skeledirge and the mighty Annihilape. The trade off is a decisive win against Cobalion, but given the difficulty in getting one of these with the right IVs for Ultra League use, you may not come across many of them to make Flareon viable. Optimal moveset remains the same from the Great League.

🟣 Master League

With a less than ideal Max CP of 3424, and no clear victories in sight, Flareon is not a recommended Master League battler.
