Torchic

Torchic's niche is in its ability Speed Boost, which allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame after a free turn. Coupled with access to powerful Fire-type STAB moves and its good Special Attack stat, Torchic can serve as formidable cleaner with the right team support. However, Torchic has very little in the way of coverage moves, which means that it must rely on Hidden Power to hit Pokemon that resist Fire-type attacks. Additionally, it is quite frail and is weak to Stealth Rock, leaving it very susceptible to common priority attacks. Because these weaknesses leave it unable to sweep past certain defensive Pokemon and priority users, Torchic's usefulness tends to be highly dependent on its team matchup.
