Wolfox Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) So I'm plaing of giving my second favorite typing some more love and doing a fire mono run, though now my question is what pokemon should I start with? Please leave your suggestions bellow(Starters I can pick up later on are not included in my question since I'm going to try and pick them up either way) Edited January 15, 2015 by TheRoaringRight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Elliot Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Well, assuming you are talking about Reborn, Blaziken is a no-brainer, considering that it is possible to obtain your starter with the hidden ability... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhanush D Bhatt Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Blaziken definitely blaziken. Trust me on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thank you for the suggestions even though for coverage Charizard also stands high for me personly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhanush D Bhatt Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Charizard is also a really good option but personally blaziken has helped me with almost all the gyms so far. Made that cradily a piece of cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleDevilex Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I would go with Charizard or Infernape, Blaziken is too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiano Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Magician Delphox is underrated! You can borrow leftovers, assault vest and other items during gym battles. You can even stop PULSE forms if you time it right! And in my opinion fire-psychic isn't a bad type combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuthorReborn Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Delphox is a serious pain to train early game, which is a problem for a fire mono, since really you only have Litleo, Pansear, and sometimes Numel before you get a few gyms in. Otherwise though, it does have an excellent typing to deal with the game. Fern has mostly grass types, so it destroys that. Victoria and Cain have fighting and Poison which Psychic decimates, so that's all your rivals handled with just your starter (for the first few encounters anyway). Magician is always spectacular. However, something you might consider is perhaps Chimchar. It gets Iron Fist so + and you can breed the Elemental Punches onto it to deal with Water Types. Just a thought, though.

Knight_Teutonic Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Charizard, Blaziken and Infernape make everything too easy. Choose Tepig, no one seems to care about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Should probably be in Team Showcase. Answer is Blaziken. Monotype you don't need to restrict yourself IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damiano Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 And for the record Knight_Teutonic, I love tepig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerTyphlosion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Typhlosion can learn eruption from the move relearner. So it can be a powerful pokemon, but getting it to typhlosion is a pain. Btw the Double battles are really easy with ninetales&typhlosion combo even more so with flashfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does make a good argument but you are going to get cyndaquil later on anyway When i played with chimchar with iron fist it was nice but wasn't too great. So i suggest either charmander or torchic. Can't really comment on delphox never used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Torchic is a no-brainer. Delphox is next to useless, and while Charizard is good, Blaziken is just better. For example, Hi Jump Kick Blaziken means you can 6-0 Samson without even trying. Make sure you grab the Vulpix early on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am going to thank all of you who reacted, and while Blaziken is indeed a powerhouse he is NOT the winner, I am now flipping coins on Charizard and Delphox since they have the best coverage through out the game. Also thanks fot the tip on Vulpix while I was planning on that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaaz Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Don't follow the masses Use Delphox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Don't follow the masses Use Delphox That is funny enough the one the coin landed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostelle Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I reset for an adamant HA torchic & even still I couldn't use him only, (level's weren't a problem) it's just not easy. Radomus being a double is hard as hell & if you get a low roll in samson's gym you'll die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You should take Fennekin. You can have the fire/fighting tepig after Aya, so you'll have to wait a while. While Blaziken is easy mode for the beginning of the game, the fox has a unique typing for the game. You can assist it with the monkey, vulpix and numel when you begin. Then the additions of Arcanine, Heatmor and Darmanitan when you reach the beach will certainly be helpful. You don't have many options with fire, but since we haven't encountered water, rock and dragon gyms yet, which naturally resist your STAB, you have nothing to fear.

Radomus being a double is hard as hell & if you get a low roll in samson's gym you'll die It's more reliable to sweep Samson without relying on high striker rolls. Samson is easy to set up on - lead with Arcanine for Intimidate, sac it, and then Bulk Up to +3 and sweep with something like Blaze Kick.

Yes I meant I ONLY used blaziken so I didn't have anything of the sort... around level 65 I was I believe with some candies used, I believe one of his pokémon has a sash which caused me issues a bit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Now that the starter is chosen I do have one other question. How do you get the Numel in peridot Ward? I have been there on rain and thunderstorms but I never saw that numel yet, can someboddy tell me what I'm doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaaz Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think that changed and on the most recent episodes he is on train station... also not sure but I think you need to beat Julia? Florinia? Get Pansear too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I got the Pansear, named it Zuko, and I just found read you need to beat Florinia before scooping it up, is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
