Strategy Overview

Typhlosion is a Pokemon with little to no incentive to be used. Though it functions decently on its own as an offensive Fire-type, it has little to differentiate itself from other Fire-types in the tier such as Delphox, Houndoom, and Emboar, all of which offer far more utility than it. Typhlosion's main selling point is Eruption; however, being easily worn down by entry hazards and common priority moves such as Sucker Punch and Aqua Jet makes it difficult for Typhlosion to keep its health high enough to utilize it effectively. It also has a narrow movepool, lacking significant coverage to muscle through common Fire-resistant Pokemon such as Slowking, Jellicent, and Druddigon. While Typhlosion may not be a completely terrible Pokemon, you should always consider your options before using it, as such options contribute far more to matches than Typhlosion will.
