Entei is not the best fire type attacker

Really!

I'm seing ludicruous arguments why entei is the best fire type pokemon.

Now let's get this straight. Stop tanking your opponents. Moltres does more damage, end of story.


So, but flying takes supereffective damage from more sources than a fire type only pokemon?

Eh, ok, let's have a look.

Flying is weak against ice. We'll have a look at that later.

Flying is also weak against electric and rock type attacks. OK, electric and rock type attacks? In what alternative universe did you plan to attack into electric and rock type pokemon with a fire type attacker in the first place?


Remains ice. Or let's be real, remains lapras.


Lapras has a fifty percent chance to lead into the fight with a water based primary attack. Lapras has a thirty three percent chance to slam you with Hydro Pump as a charge attack.

My first pick is not, repeat not, a fire based attacker with that high a risk of receiving water type attacks against me.


And there was this thing with ice. Who in their right mind would pick Fire Spin / Overheat over Counter / Dynamic Punch when it comes to dealing supereffective damage with STAB bonus against a target with a zero percent chance to deal super effective damage against a fighting type pokemon?
