touch? on the speed EVs.................
 
Anyway? it's best to use FT. More PP and accuracy than FB, with a minor AP sacrifice. OH=bad, unless you can somehow get a Fire-type with Haze that has decent SA stats. Otherwise, ya have to switch it pretty much right away.
 
Flamethrower is for things that don't die in 2 hits :)
 
Overheat goes on Fire Types that attack physically more, or on non-Fire types that want to OHKO things weak to Fire (Primeape, for example, uses Overheat to whipe out Skarmory =0)

Fire Blast>Flamethrower on Fire Types that are basically hit and run. Having 85% accuracy, it is higher than Hydro Pump, Thunder, and Blizzard, therefore making it the better of the 120 power attacks (Solar Beam has 100% but it takes two turns, so meh). It also has 10% chance to Burn, so thats always a nice bonus. Fire Blast goes on monsters with high Special Attack and can die easily.

Flamethrower goes on Fire Types that don't have massive Special Attack, but can last battles longer.

Heat Wave (on the monsters that can use it) is my favorite move, because it has good accuracy like Flamethrower, has 5 more base power, and has 20% chance to Burn, which is higher than all other Fire moves, other than Sacred Fire (50% wtf).

So, basically, DrumZard should get Blast or Overheat. Flareon should get Overheat. Entei should get Flamethrower. Houndoom should get Blast. Special Attack Charizard should get Heat Wave. Reversal Blaziken should get Heat Wave. Typhlosion should get Fire Blast. There are others, but yeah.

lol it was English. Just not basic english, it used some fancy, bigger words.

Enlightening: to show or make better

Upon: in the text, it is used to describe Blur looking down to Heat Wave, 'looking down upon', as if it were inferrior
 
Flamethrower:I use FT only as a base attack to kill those that really deserve to die
Heat Wave:HW is great because It attack 2 opponents in double battle.The main downfall of HW is that it has lower accuracy than FT,I would use PP up in order to make it more constant to use.
Fire Blast:It blows away mostly everything!FB has a low accuracy,even lower than Heat wave I dont use this unless your in a hole and you need a prayer
Over Heat:I dont use this much either,but I prefer it over FB.I dont like the idea that it puts down Sp.Attack
 
In my opinion, they are both equal, since they both have two disadvantages, Overheat runs out of power depending on how much you use it, and Fireblast is not usually too accurate. I preffer Overheat more.
 
Heat Wave is best. Overheat lowers Special, so it sux. Fire Blast has 20 more power but less chance to Burn and lower accuracy. Thrower is just average =x
 
When you do your math, then its a no brainer which one of these is a better choice. I don't like doing math either, but I did it.

Overheat
Power: 140
PP: 5
Factor: 140 x 5 = 700 (-100 = 600), (-2 off of Sp.Atk everytime for 3 turns)
Extra: Does extreme damage once it hits, then its reduced.

Fire Blast
Power: 120
PP: 5
Factor: 120 x 5 = 600 (-250 = 350)
Extra: Does heavy damage once it hit.

Flamethrower
Power: 95
Accuracy: 100
PP: 15
Factor: 95 x 15 = 1425
Extra: Does medium damage and can't miss by itself.

Heat Wave
Power: 100
Accuracy: 90
PP: 10
Factor: 100 x 10 = 1000 (-100 = 900)
Extra: Causes medium damage once it hits and can hit 2 Pokemon at the same time.
 
And that is the kind of post I like to see in movesets, Khold, not the posts of 'OMG you suck' that have been predominant the past few days. I'm not happy with the way you've been taking over (not just Khold, but Mana and Shuckle as well), so although I've been away a few days, now you gits can't get away with flaming people for being ignorant of things anymore. Fear and respect the Toothmeister.

And since all has been said on this topic that needs to be, this can be closed
