Trainer Tips

Flareon is a Fire-type Pokemon with a stat total of 588. With its high Attack stat (246), Flareon is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Ground, Rock, Water-type moves when using Flareon. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Flareon's performance.

Flareon's moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy. With 6 charged moves available, a second move gives Flareon much better coverage in PvP battles.

Collector's Pick
Flareon is a Fire-type Pokemon with base stats of 246/179/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,424. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Flareon may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
