no problem final gambit is just that, a gamble
with a move like second chance, if you knew there was nothing you could do to prevent your death, may as well go out with a bang

Exactly! especially for pokemon that cant survive for too long.
for example, an audino. Audino sets up everything it can, and right before it gets ko'd, use "Second Chance," to ensure you get that final hit in before going down.
This strategy can work on almost any pokemon that needs to deal damage on classic checks and counters before going down.

a wall lugia could use this
gotta love the original Great Wall

[Zachmac]

i know it's just the only good physical STAB move he has is flare blitz and well that just hurts him
and his stats are mediocre at best

Nope, Flareon doesn't even have Flare Blitz.

Flareon not knowing Flare Blitz is a very common joke around here. Flareon is made fun of almost like Magikarp used to be.

magikarp has more use than flareon

Dude, that's offensive to people who like Flareon.

Anyways, I do hope that egg hatching is similar to how Pokemon Channel hatched eggs. But, better since that was a long time ago.

Pokemon channel? the gamecube game? had eggs!?!? Since when!?!? I thought you answered trivia questions with different pokemon to get their cards, then spend money on channels and such.

You did, but there was an Egg channel.
Here's a video on Youtube. Just a little warning the person curses and the hatching is at the very end of the video.
I like how they hatch, but I prefer morphing into the Pokemon instead of cracking.

Oh Yeah! I remember that channel. Too bad you had to wait time for the eggs to hatch while in the games you just walk around and BAM an egg hatched into that poor baby who's mom is a ditto.

id agree... morphing definatley sounds way more esthetically pleasing than "hatching"

[Paladin of Arceus]

Hmm... I think that when I get X and Y--or rather, IF I get them--I'll change up my hero names to Drake (male, X version) and Kiera (female, Y version), and if there's a Z version later on down the road, I'll play as a girl named Keiko.

[Aura Flare Riolu]

I'd like to see new Tutor moves like Brave Bird and Flare Blitz. Maybe Flareon can finally get it that way?

Slap Brave Bird on Gyarados for lulz. Aerodactyl would most likely it and would be great with it since it gets no recoil with Rock Head. So it can Brave Bird everything all day!

You know the only thing better than Brave Bird Aerodactyl?

Head Smash Aerodactyl.

Hey, it gets Iron Head and Headbutt, why not Head Smash?

What I really hope for is that the eggs the day care man holds accumulate. Ie you go off to hatch some eggs or so something else and when you come back and he calls you over he says "your .... and ..... had 54 eggs while you were gone, lets put them in your box" wishful thinking

:0 wipes drool from mouth*
This would be the best thing pokemon has ever done!
Doubt this would ever happen just because it would make obtaining shinies much MUCH easier.
But gosh that would be amazing

[Aura Flare Riolu]

Head Smash Aerodactyl.

Aerodactyl with dual STAB Recoil-less Head Smash and Brave Bird...Good luck stopping that without losing a Pokemon.

So what if it does? Masquerain'll still OhKo it with Hydro Pump.

[Elysian]

Flareon with Flare Blitz got my vote, yes. But I am curious on eventual new moves. Like that Psychic-Thing Fennekin did in the video. (Or was it just Confusion)

[Yveltal96]

unfortunately you are correct....switch into galvantula
galvantula used thunder is has compound eyes....it hit masquerin is down

but still i really hope that flareon gets flare blitz he might actually become useful

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

It depends on how said Flareon was trained.

[YourPermanentRecord631]

So what if it does? Masquerain'll still OhKo it with Hydro Pump.

And at the same time it can't switch in on it, even with Intimidate. Plus Stealth Rocks exist.

[Nacreous]

With that speed and defense?Doubt it.Flareon needs a miracle.

[YourPermanentRecord631]

Yeeeeeeah even with Flare Blitz, Darmanitan exists lol. Maybe if they give Flareon Chlorophyll a new speed boosting ability like Sand Rush then were talking.
