Strategy Overview
Typhlosion is one of the most dangerous Fire-types in DPP NU, and probably one of the best Choice item users in the tier. It possesses a powerful, accurate, and spammable STAB move in Eruption, a nice Speed tier, and an awesome ability in Blaze. Additionally, it isn't as weak to Stealth Rock as Charizard, losing only 25% per switch in rather than Charizard's 50%.
However, outside of using Choice items, Typhlosion faces stiff competition from Charizard, Magmortar, and other Fire-types for a teamslot, as said alternatives are more adept at using non-Choice sets.
