>>50648172> The issue with Typhlosion is that it simply lacks utility. Eruption is great, but it's all it can do, and other pokemon outclass it entirely/thread. The problem is every other Fire starter, has at least three of the following: multiple STAB, amazing ability, near perfect coverage, minmaxed stats, utility and set up, or an overpowered special snowflake gimmick. Typhlosion only has Eruption because… all Pokémon are important to game freak (Masuda laugh)
Its telling that people were complaining that BDSP culled a bunch of moves from Pokémon, but Typhlosion is exactly the same because Game Freak gave it nothing since DP’s release, because Johto isn’t allowed to have nice things.
