[OVERVIEW]
Although Typhlosion has access to Eruption, passable coverage, and a solid Speed tier, it falls short as a wallbreaker due to it failing to reliably break bulky Water-types like Vaporeon, Assault Vest Slowbro, and Slowking as well as other Fire-resistant Pokemon such as Diancie and Druddigon. Additionally, Typhlosion faces immense competition as a Fire-type from Magmortar and Delphox. Magmortar is a better wallbreaker due to its greater Special Attack and coverage options, while Delphox is much more versatile, being able to employ multiple sets effectively.
[SET]
name: Typhlosion
move 1: Eruption
move 2: Flamethrower / Fire Blast
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Hidden Power Grass
item: Choice Specs
ability: Blaze / Flash Fire
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
This set raises the power of Typhlosion's Eruption, making it difficult for any non-Fire-resistant Pokemon to switch into the move. Opting for Flash Fire for Typhlosion's ability provides it with more opportunities to switch in and can further boost Eruption's power, although Blaze is more consistent and prevents Typhlosion from being entirely inferior to its competition when it's low on health. However, Typhlosion typically struggles to reliably spam Eruption because of the prominence of Fire-resistant Pokemon such as Druddigon, Assault Vest Slowbro, and Slowking. Magmortar and Delphox are more reliable as specially offensive Fire-types because of Magmortar's greater wallbreaking capabilities and Delphox's greater Speed and ability to boost its Special Attack.
