Don't, Moltres and Entei are way better. Also, flareon, charizard, etc.

Dont judge yet if u are planning on drafting a team wirh poke draft its in the 6th spot of best fire attack so its gone be in your poke draft fire team so maube depending om your plan. (But change shadow claw to ember for use)

Pokedraft isn't a reason to power up anything until you draft that pokemon into your team. Nobody is saying OP should delete it, if they need it for something later, like pokedraft, they should power up then, not now.

Nope it’s outclassed right now and will likely be extremely outclassed in the near future

It's far from useless with blast-burn and I assume you've got plenty of candy. If you've got plenty of dust, you might use it once in a blue moon, but if dust is short it's not stunning. Basically it's Charizard level without the flying advantage.

And charizard has fire spin, to add on to his usefulness. A higher CP arrange also, I think.

Charizard and Typhlosion have the same base stats.

It's better than Heatran DPS wise.

Yes, with the caveat that what we know about Heatran is from data mining. When Heatran is finally released, then we'll know exactly what it gets. Could be that they set it up with Fire Blast, and will give it Overheat on release.

That said, what we do know about it is the best info we have, but it's not the final word.

I wouldn't say it's useless, but it does nothing unique.

You could argue that it potentially has advantages over Moltres and Charizard because of it's mono typing, e.g. versus ice. However, Entei and Flareon also fall into that niche and both are slightly better than Typhlosion. Entei's TDO is much higher as well. I'd say if you have either of these at high level already then Typhlosion will add nothing to your line up.

Ty's fast move is what really lets him down. Ember is sub-par and Shadow Claw is more or less irrelevant (at least here anyway). If there should be a move rework where he's granted a better move (similar to how Feraligatr was given Waterfall), then he could be a strong contender.

I have one at CP 2416 86% with 15 atk
But i like to try a unique challenge, so it will be usefull for me in fire typing pokemons
If you prefer using best team for your squad, there are many better fire type for battle, either legendary or not...
