How to Get Flareon in Emerald
Flareon will not turn up wild in Emerald. Give an imported Eevee a Fire Stone to finish it. That stone is in demand across several lines, so spend it deliberately.

Flareon Weakness
Flareon is weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. 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 |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move

Flareon Evolutions
Eevee's line splits into 5 evolutions, and Flareon is the Fire Stone 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 102 partners from the Field egg group. Notable egg moves include Charm, Curse, Endure and 3 more.
E Flareon Best Moveset
Flareon's 130 Attack is the highest among Fire-types, but the format classifies Fire as a special type, stranding that power from TermStab entirely. The moveset relies on MoveReturn and physical coverage instead, while 95 Sp. Atk fires Fire moves at merely average power. AbilityFlash Fire provides Fire immunity and a boost, but the stat-type mismatch limits competitive impact.
Best Build
Flareon best EVs are HP and Sp. Def
Wall Moveset
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat
- Wish

Moves List
Breeding opens up real options for Flareon. Charm and Curse come exclusively from egg moves, and they're worth the effort. The rest of the kit covers basics through Overheat and Fire Blast and Normal and Dark coverage and more.

Flareon Emerald Guide
In Emerald, Flareon plays as a wallbreaker. Not the fastest, so pick your spots carefully. Overheat is the primary attack.
In Emerald, Sassy is the go-to nature for Flareon. That's +Sp. Def / -Speed. Pair it with 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD EVs. Fits the wallbreaker role.
No. Flareon isn't catchable in Emerald. Obtain one in FireRed or LeafGreen, then trade it over.
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.
