Board 8 > Favourite evolved primary fire pokemon? (2-stage)

(+) Yeah! (+)

B8's favourite Pokemon
Basic early rodent: Zigzagoon > Bidoof >> Sentret
Evolved rodent: Furret >> Raticate > Linoone
Basic early bird: Starly > Pidgey > Hoothoot
Middle bird: Pidgeotto > Fletchinder > Corvisquire
Fully evolved bird: Corviknight > Staraptor > Talonflame
Larval bug: Caterpie > Venipede > Sewaddle
Middle bug: Swadloon > Charjabug > Whirlipede
Fully evolved 3-stage bug: Scolipede > Butterfree > Beedrill
Basic early 2-stage bug: Cutiefly > Spinarak > Combee

Basic 2-stage pure grass: Skiddo > Tangela >> Petilil
Evolved 2-stage pure grass: Lilligant > Gogoat > Lurantis
Basic 2-stage primary fire: Vulpix > Growlithe >>> Slugma

Vulpix scores a convincing win over Growlithe, and both the gen 1 favs wiped the floor with the rest of the field.

(Read left to right, top to bottom row. Note that Darmanitan has two forms depicted here, and Pyroar has two gendered forms shown.)

The evolved forms of yesterday's batch are on the floor today, along with Alolan Marowak. Will gen 1 dominate again? Can Arcanine take revenge against Ninetales? Will Simisear get any votes?

It's impossible for me to choose between Ninetales and Arcanine, some of the best pokes to ever exist.

Hell the rest of them ain't even bad, aside from firemonkey

Camerupt > Arcanine > H-Arcanine > Pyroar > A-Marowak > Rapidash > Ninetales > Magcargo > Darmanitan > Simisear

Unfortunately I do not like Ninetales anywhere near as much as Vulpix.

im not overly familiar with sword and shield pokemon but good lord simisear has to be a bottom 5 pokemon

Darmanitan > A-Marowak > Camerupt > Arcanine > Rapidash > Pyroar > Ninetales > Magcargo

not even gonna put monkey in the ranking it's a disgrace

I always end up using Darmanitan in every game it's in, for whatever reason. I'm now incredibly attached to it and I hate that because it looks so dumb. All of these are great, with exception to Simisear, which is godawful, and Pyroar, which is just kinda bland.

Darmanitan > Camerupt > Magcargo > Arcanine > Ninetales > A-Marowak > Rapidash >> Pyroar >>>>> Simisear

This ones harder than the first stage poll

Alolan Marowak > Arcanine > Rapidash > Ninetales > Magcargo > Pyroar > Darmanitan >= Camerupt >>> Simisear

I might've gone with Alolan Marowak if it wasn't such a tremendous disappointment. I caught one in S/M hoping to use it in the Grass trial only to find out it can't learn its signature move without the move reminder, and it wouldn't learn any fire moves until level 53.

On any given day I might vote for Ninetales, Arcanine, or Rapidash.

Today I picked Rapidash but there really aren't many bad choices in this lot.

Rapidash >= Ninetales >= Arcanine > Camerupt > Alolan Marowak > Pyroar > Magcargo > Simisear > Darmanitan

Arcanine > Rapidash > Magcargo > Alolan Marowak > Ninetales > Camerupt > Pyroar > Simisear > Darmanitan

Arcanine is also such a good boy

I really hope Camerupt does well in this poll because it's an easy second, but please understand I simply had to vote Arcanine here

Gen I rules, Camerupt and Pyroar are pretty cool but I had to go with Ninetales here.

I really like the cleverness of Camerupt but those Gen 1s are just to good

Alolan Marowak really gives the gen 1 duo a fight, I think it's still Arcanine though

Camerupt. Its honestly way cooler than it gets any credit for

A lot more competitive than the base forms. Darmanitan, Camerupt, Ninetales, A-Marowak all great and most of the rest are solid. Going with the camel.

Arcanine

gotta love legendaries

Darmanitan > Marowak > Camerupt > Arcanine

Good stuff

Ugh I'm once again reminded that Simisear exists.

Well, I went with Camerupt. I like the typing.

There's only 1 good one, and one alright one.

Darmanitan won me money

Arcanine is one of the best Pokemon overall and the easy choice here

Ninetales

Ninetales, but I do like Darmanitan a lot

Wow Arcanine and Ninetales are really battling it out! Go Arcanine! ...And poor Rapidash is always the also-ran among Kanto fires lol.

This is very much a gen 1 fight that I am ok with.

Dat gen 1 fight. Although the others aren't terrible except for friggen Simisear. Elemental monkeys are shit.

Camerupt > Alolan Marowak > Ninetales > Arcanine > Darmanitan > Rapidash >> Magcargo > Pyroar >>>>> literally a stank turd that's on fire >>> simisear

I'm not going to be salted over people voting in ninetales or arcanine as they definitely are fine pokemon. Camerupt, just conceptually, is miles ahead, but he's not everyone's cup

i secretly love the body temperature power levels this group has, with darmanitans being hotter than lava, pyroars being hotter than the sun, and camerupts and magcargos both being nearly double that
