Moveset Sidenotes:
Typhlosion is a total attacker. I'm not refering to the surfer/stoner definition of "total," but rather an "all or nothing" fighter. Based on its original Stats, Special Attack will be your prime focus. Not harboring grand defense or Hp, forces you into the "hit em' hard, and fast" strategy. As its Pokeball hits the ground, you want Typhlosion to errupt like an unstopable mach volcano, otherwise it could be doused with a mere bucket.
Setting up the stage for your hot head, is top priority. It's ill advised to waste a precious offensive turn with Typhlosion, just to set up the sun. Let the Beatles bring out the rays, then fling your fire to show that burning desire. "Eruption" acts as a grand first effort. The power of this move is solely based on the Hp of your Pokemon, which makes it a starting battle seige. Ideally with the sun at your side, "Solarbeam," can be launched without charge time, making your Fire type, a deadly Grass sweeper. Since Solarbeam also gaurds Typhlosion against all Weaknesses, this move is absolutely vital. Trainers can opt for the less powerful, no charge time, "Hidden Power," but be positive the type of power you push is Grass type.
"Flamethrower" is a stand alone strong, reliable (accuracy wise), and effective move, that could easily replace "Eruption." One caveat with this switch, is the loss of immediate starting power you have to One Hit K.O. opponents. Beneficially speaking, "Flamethrower's" base power is 95 and only grows stronger with the sun in play. "Extrasensory" involves breeding, but is highly worth while. Before this Psychic type move, a "Special Sweeper" set rarely was possible with Typhlosion. Admittedly harboring more physical than special attacks, might make players reconsider my suggested Ev set. My warning to the curious, is far lesser power awaits on the physical side of this pyro. Players also have the fortune of possibly causing opponents to flinch, when unleashing the powerful psychic force.
With the sun shining, your opponent may be inclined to have the effect work against you, by launching his/her own strong seering moves. Fight fire with fire, thanks to Typhlosion's Hidden Ability, "Flash Fire." When hit with an offensive Fire type move, your Pokemon's Fire type attacks become 1.5 effective. Additonally, while this Ability is in effect, your Poke will be invincible taking no damage from further Fire type moves. Opponents will recognize the futile situation fast, and surely forefit their original retrebution strategy.
Conclusion:
Typhlosion is my all time favorite, when it comes to fully evolved starters. Many adventures were enjoyed with my firey pal, as we traversed the Johto region and beyond. Now the journey is passed on to you! Upcoming trainers, take this trustworthy firestarter at your side, and Sweep the compettition for ultimate victory. If Typhlosion takes damage, it won't last long, so set the stage befor your star emerges for its sweltering performance. Typhlosion is an explosion of awesome, so if you have alternate methods for training one, please leave your thoughts in the comments section of this particular post. See you next week=D
