>flareon now has technician
How would this change the meta?
>>28751309
Its move pool is still shit tier
Flareon's still shit
Basically nothing imo

>Not giving it fur coat
>Not giving it better speed
>Not giving it a better movepool
You fucked up
>>28751309
What Flareon needs is Contrary.
>>28751309
Not even slightly.
>>28751365
Contrary won't make it less of a slow piece of shit with no coverage.

It does get access to a technician-boosted flame charge.

>Talonflame now has Gale Wings as HA
How this will change the meta?
>>28751432
Are you seriously comparing Gale Wings with Technician?
Kricketune has Technician and it's below NU.
>>28751309
I always said it should get Fur Coat, now the Fluffy exists, it should have that.
Wouldn't stop Earthquakes since they don't make contact, but it would still help out a lot.
>>28751414
Did you even read my post?
>>28751432
It doesn't need it. It is already fast as hell, still nobody uses it. Nothing will change.

Yes, my reply was meant for the following post.
>>28751947
Yes it does, with Gale Wings you can invest in bulk instead of speed, and it also makes Brave Bird stronger.
Mixed life-orb sets could be fun with technician. Flame charge allows you to outspeed base 120 after one charge, and even uninvested hidden powers will do good damage depending on what you choose, ice and grass probably being the best choices.
After that, it has.. bite? Its still very frail, is easily outspeed by all scarfs even with the boost, and is destroyed by hazards.

Who the fuck thought making a Physical Fire-type is a good idea
>>28752078
The original 3 evos all had the same special stat, with flareon getting a high attack to emphasize its role as the "attacking" eveelution, but its obvious now that good bulk and speed each trump mixed attacking stats
Fire-type was just bad in general in gen1
65
130
60
65
110
95
HA: Fur Coat
+Blaze Kick
+Thunder fang
+Crunch
+Wild Charge
Basically a bulkier and stronger version of Arcanine with worse movepool and HP.
I think the only thing that would make Flareon OU is if it got huge power.

>not even bad if it just switched the spdef stat with the speed stat
Fits better with the movepool, meant to be a glass canon desu
