Flareon for a long time was the subject of ridicule thanks to having no good physical Fire-type moves. A lot of us thought, myself included, that giving Flare Blitz would finally make Flareon good. Unfortunately, when it got it, another problem with Flareon was illuminated: it's stat spread. Flareon has good stats, its just that most of them are in the wrong places.
Glaceon has pretty good offensive stats (ties Espeon for the highest special attack at 130 among all the eeveelutions), however it suffers from a pretty shallow movepool and being one of those Ice-type tanks that Gamefreak loves to make, and even then, those 110/95 defenses are invalidated by that terribly low HP.
