I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks this, but in my opinion HP Fire is better than HP Rock in this metagame. The main reasons to use HP Rock are for Moltres (outspeeds because of IV drop), Entei (has ExtremeSpeed anyway), and Magmortar (isn't that common or good right now). However, when you use HP Fire you can beat Ferroseed, Rotom-C, Roselia (with some prior damage), and Escavalier, which you would lose to otherwise and are overall much more common. Personally, I'm a lot more scared if Lilligant has HP Fire as opposed to HP Rock.
