Top 5 Fire Type Pokemon

Fire type, one of the most iconic typings of all of pokemon. All the rough and tough kids would choose fire type starters because what's more bad ass than fire? The most valuable pokemon card of all time is of course a classic fire type- Charizard. You can't go wrong when it comes to this heavily offensive type. With a strong arsenal of attack and special attack, you just have to watch out for any rock, ground, or water type pokemon to stop your attacking machine.

With such great pokemon to choose from, how do you separate the creme from the crop? Who are the best of the best in the fire typing? That's what we set out to discover today; the top 5 fire type pokemon.

CHANDELURE

And so the generation 5 fighting machine strikes again. With one of the most INSANE special attack stats of all time and a crazy cool typing to back it up, Chandelure is the prime special attacker on almost any persons gen 5 team. Also can we talk about how freaking awesome Chandelure looks? Coolest. Design. Ever.

GROUDON

We can't even turn our backs for two seconds without Omega Ruby Alpha Saphire rearing it's head once again. With much awaited joys to come with Primal Groudon (let's hope for a return from Primal Dialga at some point) we can't quite say Groudon sits here for sure, as I'm sure primal life will give him an ever higher stat boost or something. However, what puts Groudon here today is his good defenses. Fire type pokemon don't really have the best defenses, so we gotta have someone to back us up. Thanks for Groudon. 

#3

TALONFLAME

One of the fastest members of the fire-type family, Talonflame has a secure location in almost any Kalos trainer's hall of fame repertoire. Probably one of the coolest generic bird pokemon of the recent generations, what Talonflame lacks in competitive power he gains in his egg-rearing abilities. Anyone who's every tried to breed pokemon for competitive without a doubt uses Talonflame as the surrogate mother. With flame body, which halves the amount of steps needed to hatch an egg, fly, and the center of Lumiose City, Talonflame is the one-stop egg master. He may not be a fighting machine, but he's got the dirty work of competitive battling down pat.

BLAZIKEN

Seriously Hoenn can you leave us alone for 5 minutes please? What Blaziken? What about Blaziken? He's cool yeah I guess..... huh..... MEGA! Oh my gosh really? Hoenn you gotta get out of here. No seriously leave. No I was just kidding, sorry. You were saying? Uhuh.... yeah.....

REMAKES HOLY SHIT!!!!!

CHARIZARD

I think almost everyone was anticipating this one. Charizard is one strong beast, he's got all sorts of competitive possibilities as well as amazing typing opportunities with Mega X. He's a classic and for a reason. No amount of nostalgia can stop the fact that Charizard has been and always will be a great pokemon.
