Typhlosion
Fire
Best attacking moveset: Incinerate and Blast Burn, worth 13.5 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Typhlosion can learn 15 combinations. Incinerate with Blast Burn 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.
That set is legacy. Blast Burn is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Typhlosion you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Incinerate and Overheat, worth 12.8 damage per second.
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.
