It would really carve a niche for itself in at least UU if it just had a way to out speed something with out giving up toxic orb.
I find it funny how much Gamefreak has tried to make it viable over the years. What other eeveelution has gotten the same treatment as Flareon when it comes to fixing it's viability.
Iirc when gen 4 came around, it was the only one who received superpower
In gen 5, it got guts, which probably was the best hidden ability it could get besides the obvious adaptability and speed boost.
In gen 6,it got flare blitz, so it's obvious that they are making an honest attempt to make it usable.
