Board 8 > Rank the Eeveelutions, please.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I ranked Flareon last because I think it has the worst design out of them. I ranked them all based on design.

I would never rank Pokemon based on actual usefulness because anything can be useful in-game.

I'm far from the board's biggest fan as far as Pokemon battle knowledge is concerned (although I was pretty damn good back in 2005) but didn't Flareon get a decent boost in usability back when fourth-gen introduced the Attack/Special Attack-based individual moves?

Kind of, but it's best physical fire move is Fire Fang, which is awful.

I seem to recall that people's biggest gripe with it back in the day was how it had an impressive Attack stat but it was a Fire type so it 'needed' Special Attack, which it lacked. But now there are a bunch of Attack-based Fire-type moves...

Or does its movepool/other stats still really suck?

His best fire move is Fire Fang which only real usefulness is that it bypass Wonder Guard on hacked Spiritomb.

Give Flareon Flare Blitz and you got something, but even then it's still not competitively viable because he's slow as hell, no typing versatility and fire-type, which is arguably the worst type ever competitively (Ice at least is good offensively).

I think people complained because it didn't get the one fire move it really needed aka Flare Blitz. I think all it got was Fire Fang.

Thanks, Ayuyu.

and fire-type, which is arguably the worst type ever competitively

As Fire is my favorite, that is a huge shame.

Pretty impressive. I guess Board 8 is in Poke-mode.

I love fire but what can you do.

Ground attacks are the most used with Fighting attacks.

And well, Stealth Rock.
