The mere existence of heavy duty boots mean pebbles aren't run as often, meaning you can get cheeky and not use them
Fire is underrated defensive typing because of pebbles, Fire/Flying moreso.
Solid statline
Burn triple threat, with Flame Body discouraging shit like U-Turn, Scorching Sands threatening a lot of traditional counters with a SE hit and burn, and then traditional fire moves.
Scorching Sands was really nice coverage in general
Not neutered by rain, because Hurricane
Can pressure stall like Zapdos
Technically has Morning Sun, so can pressure stall without playing around ground types, kinda shit though
No, really, it hits like a fucking burning truck, people consistently underestimate how much power it has.
