it got guys well before fur coat existed
and it took like 5 and a half generations before it got flare blitz

GF is calling you

>Gen 6 gave it Flare Blitz, the best STAB that a physical Fire-type Pokémon, but there's another problem: Flareon has low HP so it has a nasty recoil damage and combined with Toxic Poisoning means that it can faint very fast
Poor Flareon, it just wanted to be useful but instead became another victim of Game Freak's "brilliant" decisions.

Flareon-chan is simply a victim of "obscure oldschool mon syndrome", as are most Eeeveelutions. They didn't receive proper power upgrades since then.

Sleep Talk is a possibility if it were not impossible to give it a good moveset that uses it.

And OP, would Fur Coat even help Flareon?

>>32195931
sleep does not benefit facade or guts

>>32195941
I see that it does for Guts, but not Facade.

>>32195968
it does not work for guts

Bulba says any status, Smogon says any non-volatile status, Serebii specifically lists them all including Sleep.

I think you are wrong.
