Flareon Weakness
Flareon is weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. Flareon's special bulk (base 110 Special) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Ground, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Grass, Bug |
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent
- Ghost has no effect on Psychic (a known bug, fixed in Gen II)
- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split

How to Evolve
Y Flareon Best Moveset
The format's most wasted stat line. 130 Attack sits unused because every Fire move draws from the 95 Special instead. MoveBody Slam and MoveHyper Beam use the Attack, but the Fire TermStab that should define a Fire-type runs off the wrong number entirely. Physical power with no type damage to show for it.

Moves List
Leveling does the heavy lifting. Flareon picks up Flamethrower and Double-Edge along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Normal and Dark coverage, but the foundation's already strong by then.
