What are the Fire threats in Alola?
Putting my team together to grind out BP in the Battle Tree for Trade Evo items and Mega Stones. Have a bit of a wild card slot left over, and I’m discovering that I have a pretty obvious weakness to Fire.

I’m trying to decide how to best cover that weakness. Part of doing that is knowing what the threats are, and their common solutions.
I’ve kind of narrowed down to likely candidates of Milotic, Kingdra, Krookodile, Flygon, and Garchomp.

Salazzle- Very easily countered with a ground type move
Oricorio Baile form- Low defenses, easily countered with super-effective moves like rock, water, and electric
Turtonator- High defense, use special super-effective moves like dragon pulse and earth power
Torkoal- Don’t use water type moves, most have drought. Special ground and rock type moves work.
Talonflame- Easily countered by rock type moves.
Magmortar- Counter with high special defense Pokemon and super effective moves.
These are the main threats. I think that you should choose FLYGON because it can counter all Pokemon, except maybe turtonator. You should run a mixed set on it:
Flygon@whatever you wantMild nature
-Dragon Claw-Earth power-Stone edge-Flamethrower
Hope I helped!
