Flareon
Fire
Best attacking moveset: Fire Spin and Overheat, worth 14.0 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Flareon can learn 12 combinations. Fire Spin with Overheat does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
