>>51080261>>51080261>Flareon is ass as a Fire Pokemon but it's one of the best non-Slash Normal attackers in the entire generation. And Magmar's just better, it has better mixed attacker stats and better coverage.If you're going for normal damage, why pick a fire type? And would you want specifically non-slash?
And you're just flat-out wrong about Magmar. The only anti-rock move it has is Submission, which Charizard also gets. They have the same special and Magmar only has slightly higher physical attack, but still winds up doing less damage because Earthquake is so much stronger than Submission and Slash has such a high crit ratio.
>In gen 1 you don't have enough experience to facetank Misty with a Charmeleon without stopping to grind.Just battling the regular wild encounters you have along the way isn't stopping to grind.
>And that does not change the context of what I said.The problem with what you said isn't the context. Your claim is wrong with the context it already has.
