Strategy Overview
At first glance, Cyndaquil appears to be an inferior Houndour or Ponyta. While this is true in most cases, Cyndaquil does have something that the other common Fire-types do not: Eruption. With one of the strongest Fire-type moves in existence backed by STAB, Cyndaquil has quite literally burnt itself a place in the tier.
