Said to purify lost, forsaken souls with its flames and guide them to the afterlife. I believe its form has been influenced by the energy of the sacred mountain towering at Hisui’s center.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Typhlosion Best Moveset

Prediction matters here. Choice Specs means Typhlosion can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is boosted special damage with move lock. Flexible EVs with Flashfire back that up. The remaining moves prevents free switches.

Typhlosion Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Typhlosion. The 534 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a sweeper. Eruption with Choice Specs is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Starmie (Water) and Golem (Ground) when using Typhlosion. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rock-type attackers are also a problem.

  • Flash Fire is what you want on Typhlosion. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Blaze) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Typhlosion worth using. With base 100 Speed, Flash Fire gives Typhlosion an edge before opponents can react.

  • Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Typhlosion is a special attacker with base 109 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a sweeper.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Typhlosion's hidden ability is Flash Fire. Protects against fire moves. Better than the standard options for competitive play.

Game Availability

Since debuting in Gold & Silver, Typhlosion has appeared in 17 titles over 9 generations. Along the way, it received a Hisuian form in Generation 8, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
