How to Evolve
PLA Flareon Best Moveset
Massive 130 Attack stuck behind 65 Speed on Fire. Strong Style pushes the physical damage higher at the cost of even fewer turns. The moveset runs devastating Fire TermStab when it finally acts. 110 Sp. Def is surprisingly tanky on the special side.

Moves List
A solid spread overall. Flareon gets Flamethrower and Mystical Fire for same-type damage alongside Normal and Steel coverage and more. It won't blow anyone away, but it doesn't leave you stuck either.

Flareon Legends: Arceus Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Flareon. The 525 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Flare Blitz with Aguavberry is the standard set.
Flash Fire is what you want on Flareon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Guts) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Flareon worth using. Flash Fire synergizes with Flareon's base 110 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Flareon is a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
For Legends: Arceus, the core moveset is Flare Blitz, Rest, Lastresort, and Sleep Talk. Flare Blitz leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
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.
