ArcanineArcanine has excellent Speed and Attack, which are wonderful attributes in-game. A potential moveset I would recommend:
Arcanine @ CharcoalAbility: Intimidate- Flamethrower / Flare Blitz- Wild Charge- Extreme Speed- Crunch
TalonflameTalonflame is incredibly fast, and while its Attack and Special Attack aren’t anything spectacular, it does learn some pretty solid moves. It can be a bit recoil-heavy, however. A potential moveset:
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak / Charcoal / anythingAbility: Gale Wings if you can get it, Flame Body if you can’t- Quick Attack- Flare Blitz- Brave Bird- Steel Wing
Alolan MarowakWhile slow, Marowak can be a solid team member. It can learn powerful attacks, and is good even without Rock Head.
Marowak-Alola @ anythingAbility: Rock Head / Cursed Body- Flare Blitz- Stone Edge- Earthquake- Shadow Bone
MagmortarMagmortar has an excellent Special Attack stat, and it learns a variety of good moves. It does unfortunately require trading, but if you can trade, it’s a great asset.
Magmortar @ CharcoalAbility: Flame Body- Flamethrower / Fire Blast- Thunderbolt- Psychic- Focus Blast / Earthquake
VolcaronaVolcarona would easily be one of the best Fire types if it wasn’t so difficult to find. It starts off slowly, and evolves very late, but if you’re willing to put in the effort (and lug around a Larvesta for most of the game), then Volcarona is well worth it.
Volcarona @ Charcoal / Silver PowderAbility: Flame Body- Flamethrower / Fire Blast- Bug Buzz / Signal Beam- Psychic- Giga Drain / Hurricane
HoundoomHoundoom is a little tough to get, but it’s pretty solid. It evolves early, has good Speed and Special Defense, and has an array of solid moves it can use.
Houndoom @ Charcoal / Black GlassesAbility: Flash Fire- Flamethrower / Fire Blast- Dark Pulse- Sludge Bomb- Hyper Voice
FlareonFlareon is iffy. It doesn’t have a whole lot of options. Its movepool is shallow, and it’s outclassed – both by other Fire types, and by the other Eeveelutions.
Flareon @ CharcoalAbility: Flash Fire- Flame Charge / Flare Blitz- Quick Attack- Return- Superpower
TurtonatorIt has amazing Defense, but it’s slow, and its Special Attack isn’t the greatest. It may also be a bit tough to get, but it can serve well.
Turtonator @ Charcoal / Dragon FangAbility: Shell Armor- Flamethrower / Fire Blast- Dragon Pulse- Flash Cannon- Hyper Voice / Focus Blast
PyroarPyroar has an awful movepool and three bad Abilities, but it is fast and it sports a solid Special Attack, so it works.
Pyroar @ Silk Scarf / CharcoalAbility: Unnerve- Flamethrower- Dark Pulse- Hyper Voice- Will-O-Wisp
Oricoriodoesn’t get any reliable Fire STAB except Revelation Dance. It has a low BST as well, making it pretty useless.Torkoalis way too slow for in-game. It works, but if you’re looking for a slow special attacker, Turtonator is better.Blacephalonis very good, but you get it post-game, making it useless in a regular playthrough.
Note I didn’t include Island Scan or Ultra Wormhole Pokemon, as those take extra time to obtain and aren’t necessarily good. The only non-legendary ones that would be worth it are Charizard, Blaziken, Infernape, and Chandelure.
Hope I helped!
I know that the question was answered already but I still have some more suggestion…
Charizard got a decent good SpA and Speed, which make it fit into the Hyper Offense team. It also gained 2 Fantastic Mega Evolution, which will give you a good–or just say Fantastic mega spot. A Chamander could be obtain early which was in Route 3.My personal suggested moveset:
Charizard @ Whatever you wantAbility: Blaze-Flamethrower / Fire Blast / Heat Wave-Air Slash-Dragon Pulse-Earthquake
Chandelure was another good choice for a fire type, due to it excellent 145 SpA and the bonus Ghost type typing. Chandelure also got a decent Defensive stat of 90 in each and speed of 80 wasn’t bad. It also got 3 immunities in total with Flash Fire.A Likwik could obtain in Hau’oli Cemetery.Suggest Moveset:
Chandelure @ Charcoal / Spell Tag / Whatever you wantSuggest Ability: Flash Fire- Flamethrower- Energy Ball- Shadow Ball- Psychic
Thats all I think was good for Ultra Sun Moon, hope this helps a lot!!!
