As popular as the eeveelutions are, it's not unusual to see Flareon either outright ignored or treated as trash. Granted, its stats aren't anything to write home about and yes its move pool is somewhat lacking, and out of all the eeveelutions, it has the least distinct design, but none of that matters to me. I play for fun and I like that it's a bigger, fluffier version of Eevee with a few differences here and there.
