Flareon is off the attackers tier list now

Not even an honorable mention.
What happened? I guess it's because of the legendary beasts not being weak to fire, and 2 of them resisting fire.
Moltres and Entei might be better, but even then, Flareon is still perfectly usable, so it should at least be an honorable mention.

Apparently Flareon has the highest DPS of all Pokemon that aren't on the list. It's still in the top 10 neutral DPS. It's also the highest CP currently available Pokemon that's not on the list.

A bit thing now is the raid meta, which isn't favorable to fire attackers. There are no elite gym defenders and only one raid boss tier 3+ (Venusaur) where Flareon has a favorable matchup.

I love my Flareon. I had it maxed out a few levels ago and it was my go to Blissey killer (no fighting pokemon at that time). However, I haven't touched it since Articuno went away. I figure that's as telling as anything else.

Autoselect tries to tell me to use Flareon against Blissey with Dazzling Gleam. (Don't have a Moltres or Entei powered up to know if it would prefer one of tjose instead.)
