Is Flareon Good in Ruby & Sapphire Playthrough?
AbilityFlash Fire gives Fire immunity and powers up Fire moves. The ability finally gives Flareon a defensive niche. But Fire moves still run off Special in Gen 3 while Flareon's 130 Attack is physical. The mismatch survives another generation. Trade-only and still fundamentally broken.

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.
RS Flareon Best Moveset
130 Attack still can't power Fire TermStab since Fire is a special type. AbilityFlash Fire absorbs Fire attacks and boosts Fire moves, adding immunity. MoveReturn and physical coverage use the Attack honestly. 110 Sp. Def absorbs special hits. Held ItemLeftovers sustains. The Attack/type mismatch persists.

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.
