Strategy Overview

Although Typhlosion has access to Eruption, passable coverage, and a solid Speed tier, it falls short as a wallbreaker due to it failing to reliably break bulky Water-types like Vaporeon and Slowking as well as other Fire-resistant Pokemon such as Hariyama and Druddigon. Additionally, Typhlosion faces immense competition as a Fire-type from Magmortar and Delphox. Magmortar is a better wallbreaker due to its greater Special Attack and coverage options, while Delphox is much more versatile, being able to employ multiple sets effectively. Do not ever use this Pokemon with the intent of winning games.
