Competitive Strategy

Flareon has 130 Attack but has always been held back by a shallow physical movepool and low Speed. Flare Blitz is its main STAB but the recoil hurts. Guts + Flame Orb is an option for a status-immune wallbreaker. Flash Fire lets it switch into Fire moves. Needs Wish support due to Flare Blitz recoil and no reliable recovery.
