Typholsion thread

3d models ruined him
well the fire not being on all the time is the main thing

and he's actually kind of ugly but i never noticed with the sprites

How is Burn Up for him?

It seems like you're essentially trading permanent 90 base power+STAB Flamethrower (so 135 base power?) for single use, at least until switched out and back in, 130+STAB followed by raw 130. Which doesn't seem like a horrible trade off.

Although he has no reason to have it, it'd probably synergise fantastically if he also had Volt Switch.

Also comfiest starter

Best bro.

>>31077151
Literally a yellow human

I've never liked Typhlosion. I remember playing silver and having my quilava level up was such a disappointment.

Gen 2 starters are trash

>>31077864
fuck off

>>31077945
The only "decent" fire move it can learn is freaking flame wheel and you have to wait 30 more levels for it to learn flamethrower. In the main history that's not really fair

>>31077796
Burn Up seems pretty useless. 130BP Special STAB is nice, but that's only 20BP more powerful than Fire Blast, and the fact that it becomes completely unusable until the user regains their Fire-type totally kills it. You might be able to grab an extra KO with that 20BP but the trade-off doesn't seem worth it at all.

>>31078033
try to train a fire type in Gen I then.
it's either ember or flamethrower

I miss the Flamethrower + Thunderpunch combo

>>31077796
Not as strong as scarfed Eruption while filling the same purpose, but more reliable since you don't have to worry about hazards fucking over your damage. Burn Up seems alright for revenge kills, but Eruption is better for leading or switching in on somebody that's still setting up. A matter of preference and team comp, I guess.

>>31077151
Why didn't it get a Mega in S/M?

>>31080478
Why didn't literally anyone get a Mega in S/M?

I love the nuclear badger.

>>31077864
Agreed

Seriously gimped.

Why is my favorite perpetually angry fire badger seriously gimped?

>charizard stats and abilities
>fire monotype
>only one stat boosting move
>said boosting move is shit
>great physical movepool but shit atk
>clearly cucked by the physical/special split
>no mega

Badger buff when? Mega when? I want him to be competitively viable again.

>>31082435
>clearly cucked by the physical/special split
explain

>>31082612
It lost access to electric moves

>>31083124
If it had a 75 base special electric move it would still be trash tier

After catching it in Moon and using him in my playtrough I can confirm that he is amazing

>>31083200
Fuck off

>>31077796
i'm waiting to hear a story of how someone barely survives an earthquake or hydro pump by using burn up first then wins it
unlikely considering nobody uses typhlosion

How well would a sunny day + helping hand Whimsicott work with eruption on a doubles team?

Feraligator doesnt learn eq you dumbass

>>31083909
Dragon dance then waterfall :^)

>>31083935
Wow... a fire type has weaknessess to ground and water who knew?

>>31083909
Yes it does you fucking idiot

>>31083909
Yes it does?

>>31083909
lol retard

>>31082612
Fire was Special. Fire badger was made prior to the split. After that, and a few generations later, Typhlosion can't take advantage of its vast Physical movepool because of shit Atk. Instead of STAB Flare Blitz, Wild Charge for Water coverage, EQ for Rock, and Crush Claw/Shadow Claw/Whatever, you'll go Choice Eruption, Fire Blast, Focus Blast for Rock, or Hidden Power, which is a bitch and a pain in the ass to breed.

Charizard is the same way but it got 2 Megas: A mixed attacker and a special sun wallbreaker, so it doesn't suck now. Burn Up doesn't do justice to fire badger.

*FWWOOOOOSH

it's weird
the design is bland but if you add anything it becomes ugly

>>31078033
I fucking hate those newgenners who never played gen I or II and saw a few stuff on bulbapedo and think that know everything about it.
As someone who played gen I, a move like flame wheel is perfect. Gen I barely had moves with base power around 60.
And Typhlosion leaned Fire Punch back then. Anyone who played Gold and Silver knows that.

>>31088434
Or if they went for Water-types which always got good shit. Feraligatr's SpAtk stat was mediocre as fuck but it didn't matter because Surf was so easy to get. Same in gen 1.

>>31088492
>implying eveyone only play each game once.
but yeah, Water types got better things. In gen I Water gun and Bubblebeam were earlier Tms.

>>31088560
You could also get Ice Beam really fast.
