Is Flareon Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
The physical/special split gives Flareon a massive upgrade in Let's Go. That huge Attack stat finally powers physical Fire moves instead of going to waste. Handles Erika, Koga, and Lorelei's Jynx. Way better here than in the originals, where Flareon couldn't use its own Attack stat for Fire damage.

How to Get Shiny Flareon in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the strongest route to a Shiny Flareon is Catch Combo, which reaches about 1 in 274 at full boosts. Shininess carries through evolution, so hunting an earlier stage and evolving it counts too. Pick a method and tune your setup below to see live odds. Compare Shiny Flareon odds across every game
Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Flareon Calculator
2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Flareon Weakness
Flareon is weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Flareon's special bulk (base 110 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Ground, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy |

How to Evolve
Let's Go Flareon Best Moveset
130 Attack at 65 Speed behind Fire typing. Massive physical power but the moveset can't deliver it at this pace. Without AbilityFlash Fire absorbing Fire or AbilityGuts boosting Attack through status, 65 Speed means going after almost everything that threatens to hit back first.
Best Build
Eevee Candy
Mighty Candy+ATKLonely raises Attack and lowers Defense. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Red, then Yellow. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Flareon
- Eevee Candy
- Mighty Candy
Mighty Candy L
Mighty Candy XL
Eevee Candy raises every stat, but only Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon can eat it. The stat candy that goes with Flareon is Mighty Candy (Attack), and any Pokemon can eat it; Mighty Candy L needs level 30 and Mighty Candy XL needs level 60 or higher.
Master Trainer
Dax battles with one level 75 Flareon that knows Flare Blitz, Superpower and Fire Spin. It takes extra damage from Water, Ground and Rock moves. Win to earn the Flareon Master title. Find Dax in Celadon City.
Moves List
Leveling does the heavy lifting. Flareon picks up Flare Blitz along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Normal and Fighting coverage and more, but the foundation's already strong by then.
