Strategy Overview

Flareon is an unviable choice as a wallbreaker in SS ZU due to its poor bulk and Speed, weakness to Stealth Rock, and tendency to get chipped down by poison from Toxic Orb and recoil from Flare Blitz. Its cleric set is also bad because of similar reasons— bad bulk and Flare Blitz recoil. It is entirely outclassed by Rapidash, which is able to boost its Attack with Swords Dance, equip itself with Heavy-Duty Boots to avoid Stealth Rock, and has the bulk to be able to take attacks well.
