[OVERVIEW]
Flareon is an unviable choice as a wallbreaker in SS ZU due to its poor bulk and Speed, weakness to Stealth Rock, and tendency to get chipped down by poison from Toxic Orb and recoil from Flare Blitz. Its cleric set is also bad because of similar reasons— bad bulk and Flare Blitz recoil. It is entirely outclassed by Rapidash, which is able to boost its Attack with Swords Dance, equip itself with Heavy-Duty Boots to avoid Stealth Rock, and has the bulk to be able to take attacks well.

[SET COMMENTS]
Flareon attempts to act as a wallbreaker with its very high Attack stat. However, it falls very short due to its lackluster bulk and Speed, its weakness to entry hazards, the recoil from Flare Blitz, and having to run Toxic Orb to activate its Guts ability. It has horrible longevity and thus is entirely outclassed by the much faster Rapidash, which has the ability to heal itself, take hits with its solid bulk, and avoid hazards with Heavy-Duty Boots.

[OVERVIEW]
Flareon is an unviable choice as a wallbreaker in SS ZU due to its poor bulk, Speed and movepool. Being forced to run Toxic Orb to activate Guts and being weak to rocks spells bad news for Flareon, as it has a really tough time taking down opposing walls before it inevitably drops to poison damage. once again this can be merged in one sentence "Flareon is unviable because its offensive sets are just fainting from toxic poison + sr + flare blitz recoil + poor speed", which lets you write a line on why Cleric Flareon is bad (Flare Blitz bad on defensive mon and its bulk isnt good enough) It is entirely outclassed by Rapidash who is able to boost its Attack with Swords Dance, equip itself with Heavy-Duty Boots to avoid Stealth Rock, and has the bulk to be able to take attacks well.

Flareon attempts to act as a wallbreaker with its very high Attack stat. However, it falls very short due to its lackluster bulk, Speed and having to run Toxic Orb to activate its Guts ability. It is quite easy to take down by getting entry hazards up and switching around, forcing it to take poison damage and even recoil from Flare Blitz. again this can be shorten to one sentence to fit in the 2-3 sentences format It has horrible longevity and thus is entirely outclassed by Rapidash who has the ability to heal itself, take hits with its solid bulk and avoid hazards with Heavy-Duty Boots. also mention rapidash is much faster
