CharizardPros: Good Speed, High S.Attack, decent Attack, a great movepool that can boost attack to be very high and two good Abilities(Blaze) Solar-power which boosts S.Attack in the sun in exchange for some Hp every turn, a Ground immunity, and a pretty nice fire type movepool and great diversity.
Cons: x4 weakness to rock means half his HP is eaten away by stealth rock, and below average defenses.
TyphlosionPros: He has the same stat spread as Charizard, he has an insanely strong Eruption, and has a good ability(Blaze) and a great DW ability Flash fire which gives him an immunity.
Cons: An unfortunately shallow Special Movepool and no good boosting moves for either offense, and below average defenses.
BlazikenPros: High Attack, and Special Attack and average Speed, good movepool, a bit of diversity and one good ability(Blaze) and one amazing ability speed boost which counteracts the average speed.
Cons: Again below average defenses.
InfernapePros: High speed(The highest unboosted speed stat of all fire starters), good attack and S.attack, Diverse movepool, a strong priority move(Mach punch), 1 good ability(Blaze), and 1 great ability Iron fist which boosts the power of Punching moves.
Cons: He has the Low defenses and Hp.
EmboarPros: High Attack, and Hp, and good S.Attack, nice movepool and 2 good abilities(Blaze) and Reckless which raises the power of recoil moves which is pretty good for him.
Cons: He has the lowest defensive stats of the 5 which counters acts his high HP, and he has terrible speed, he should only be used a wall breaker or a T-room Sweeper, he is also good as Choice scarf sweeper in the lower tiers.
Blaze by the way boosts the power of fire type moves when lowered down to 1/3 HP. For good moveset for each follow one of the links:CharizardTyphlosionBlazikenInfernapeEmboar
CharmanderPros : Good Spatk and speed, and a good movepool.
Cons : Final evo takes max damage from stealth rocks(1/4 of max HP).
CyndaquilPros : Good Spatk and speed.
Cons : limited movepool.
TorchicPros : Great Spatk.
Cons : Lame speed,and lowest def of the 5 and more physical based than special based.( DW ability, speed boost, can nullify this)
ChimcharPros : Base Atk and Spatk are the same, allowing for a gigantic movepool and all rounded moveset.
Cons : lowest spdef of the 5, and not that fast, allowing faster Waters and Grounds to OHKO him.
TepigPros : Good Atk and HP is helpful for recoil moves.*
Cons : Slow, and the spdef is just a tad higher than chimchar’s, which has the lowest spdef, and the def is only about a little more than torchic, which has the lowest def.*(DW ability reckless also helps)
