I find Arcanines work well as they are a bit more tanky thank Flareons (glass cannons). Have to find what works for you for dodging etc.
Also though they are changing STAB and Effective type bonuses. You might want to look at getting a good attacking Pinsir with double bug moveset. It will be more effective than fire. Again though you will need to be good at dodging but the bonus to double effectiveness is going to be big.
