>>39703542>RapidashDecent in-game. The only caviat is that it evolves late, but Ponyta holds its own and Rapidash has strong moves and slightly above average stats going for it
>FlareonFair enough
>HoundoomPaper thin defences, gets fucked too easily by weak ass mons. Much worse than you think in-game, if we were talking about gen 5 I'd prefer Flareon over him
>Magmar/MagmortarThe former has subpar stats but amazing coverage (which makes him better than it looks) stats and the latter is just amazing
Not saying you're wrong on the lack of options DPPt had on fire types, but you don't know shit about how in-game viability works. I bet you're one of those faggots who pick pseudos in the early game because they're really powerful when fully evolved (which is less than 5% of your total playthrough)
