>>55981109The high attack is just one part of Flareon's damage potential. One thing that feels nice is baiting out an enemies Fire attack for you to switch into. If you don't wanna use Flare Blitz, even something like Temper Flare will hit pretty hard with Flash Fire on.
You could also try special attacks. Even without investing in it, Flash Fire still makes Fire Blast or even Flamethrower threatening enough.
