Special Fire Type

[hsb39]

I need some suggestions of a special Fire type (before DP), everyone that you think is decent, my team lacks fires.

[lilliputter]

Moltres@leftovers
Modest nature
EV:252 S.Atk 128 HP 128 spd
morning sun
sunny day
heat wave
flamethrower

this is just an option,I actually think it's pretty good.you might want to change sunny day for agility though

[pixlepix]

moltriss is the best one there is

[skyswellow]

moltres aint the best fire type i choose charizard on r/b/y moltres didnt learn any fire attacks by level except for fire spin

The only two good fires are Blaziken and Moltres and neither are particularly oustanding.

Basically what she said. Fire-Types are pretty crappy because they have a weakness to 3 very common types: rock, ground, and water as well as usually having movepools which you can't do anything with.

That being said, if you want a good Sp.Attacking Fire-Type either go with Moltres (though the x4 weakness to Rock doesn't help) or Houndoom.

For Moltres, you might want to use:

- Morning Sun/Agility/Roar
- Hidden Power [Grass]/Toxic
- Sunny Day
- Flamethrower

Morning sun+Sunny day=tons of HP gain, but you need to get the Moltres from XD for that. If you cant get HP GRass, go with Toxic, and Roar, but if you can get HP Grass, and not Morning sun give it Agility.

Or, for Doom:

- Crunch
- Flamethrower
- Pursuit
- Hidden Power [Grass]/Substitute/Will-o-wisp

Crunch and FT gain STAB, and Pursuit can hit mons on the switch. If you cant get HP Grass, and dont want to Breed for Wow, Sub is a nice option.

I;m probably going to do Houndoom, easier to get a good nature on it and I'll just use Smeargle for breeding, Sub or WoW. I remember getting seriously pissed off by that Houndoom on NB.

If you are gonna get houndoom, earthquake is pretty popular these days, watch out for that.

[massi4h]

you can't breed tutored moves like sub unless it's an egg move.

[hsb39]

I thought it was an egg move, damn. And as for EQ, that's why Houndoom is so much better at 6 on 6 battles, a lot more Pokemon to switch into EQ.
