Is Flareon Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?
Fire Stone Eevee evolution. Physical Fire moves like MoveFlare Blitz finally connect with Flareon's massive Attack stat thanks to the per-move split. Burns through Molayne's Steel E4 and Mina's Fairy trial. Still slow and fragile on the special side, but the damage output is real.

Flareon Weakness
Flareon is weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. 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 |

Flareon Evolutions
Eevee's line splits into 8 evolutions, and Flareon is the item path. Each sibling form needs a different method to obtain. Breed through Eevee to get eggs. Flareon and Vaporeon share the same 525 total stats, but they're distributed differently. Check the comparison below to see where each one specializes. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Flareon to get Eevee eggs (with patience) using 218 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Captivate, Charm, Covet and 11 more.
USUM Flareon Best Moveset
130 Attack is one of the highest among Fire-types, but 65 Speed means acting after most threats and the best physical Fire option is MoveFlare Blitz with recoil. AbilityGuts boosts Attack through status and AbilityFlash Fire absorbs Fire hits. The moveset has the Attack but not the Speed, coverage, or survivability to use it.

Flareon best EVs are Attack and Speed

Moves List
Breeding opens up real options for Flareon. Captivate and Charm come exclusively from egg moves, and they're worth the effort. The rest of the kit covers basics through Overheat and Flare Blitz and coverage across 7 types.

Flareon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Flareon. The 525 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Flare Blitz with Toxic Orb is the standard set.
Flash Fire is what you want on Flareon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Guts) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Flareon worth using. Flash Fire synergizes with Flareon's base 110 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Flareon is a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Flare Blitz, Superpower, Flamecharge, and Facade. Flare Blitz leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
One of the original 151, Flareon has appeared in 22 games — nearly every mainline game. From Red & Blue through the latest titles, it's rarely been left out of a regional Pokedex.
