Will blast burn make charizard relevant

This takes a few assumptions. If charizards exclusive move is blast burn, and it is the same as frenzy plant where will charizard rank compared to other fire types, I imagine that it will become the best non-legendary fire type beating flareon, but won't be able to give moltres and entei a run for their money. What do you think?

I've read that if BB is as good as Frenzy Plant for Venusaur, Charizard will out-DPS Moltres for the same level.

Moltres and Entei (obviously) will still have better TDO.

It becomes the highest-DPS fire-type attacker, #3 in TDO (behind Entei and Moltres, in that order).

It doesn't have to be the best to be usable, as long as it's not far behind. I wouldn't power up another Moltres unless it was perfect but I would no doubt max a good Charizard with BB, especially a shiny one.

The math has been done and it's in thdrshn's link. If Charizard gets a move as good as FP it'll narrowly outrank Moltres in DPS. TDO will still make Moltres overall a preferable choice provided you have the RC to invest in it.

I wouldn't mind it NOT being exactly parallel, as long as it was close in efficacy. Copying a move template is lazy. Make it an awesome three-bar Fire move, which the game currently doesn't have (note the word "awesome").

Leaf Blade or Dragon Claw fire version?

Interesting thought.

Lmaooo, same for me mate, I even wasted a fuck ton if TMs to eventually get FS/OH lol. I wish it would be possible to TM the charge move during the event to the special attack.
Now my best Charmander is somewhere around 84 Iv lol.

is Blast Burn confirmed or is this all speculation?

Fair enough you did mention in the text but not at the start. The title is "Will blast burn make charizard relevant", substituting "Would" for "Will" would be more clear that it's all hypothetical.

For the non-native speaker (not sure about the OP), they are used interchangeably so it might be a cause of confusion. It's a very educated guess nonetheless, which I can't say about a lot of posts here.
