>>14557372why would you bother asking for advice on how to balance it then? hang onto fletchinder until you encounter a better/non fire flying pokemon like noibat for hm's sake, then either keep braixen and lucario and ditch combusken (recommended) or keep braixen and combusken and ditch lucario for one of the fossil pokemon or a fairy type so at least you don't have firex2 AND fightingx2.
once you get into the 30's your pikachu is going to have a lot of trouble keeping up with the other, more evolved pokemon its level because of it's stats so I'd still heavily consider evolving it and maybe just breeding/catching another pikachu to have for amie or whatever.
