Flareon 100% - FS/FT or FS/OH
Luckily I hatched a second 100% Eevee and it evolved into Flareon, which I had hoped for.
Moveset is E/FT. That means a Fast TM is logical I think, but how about Flamethrower?
I like two bar moves for flexibility and speed in this case. The damage would be the same as FB, a bit less than OH.
Can anyone who uses this moveset share his experience?

If you need raw DPS, Overheat is better.
But Flamethrower has several advantages.
1: Multi bar, can be used with 50 energy, no over-charging energy bar
2: Short duration, can even fit in between Exeggutor's Confusions
3: If Flareon has 60 energy and is about to faint, you can still throw a flamethrower, but not an overheat.
I have a F/O that I previously powered up for Blissey and a F/Ft that I recently powered up for Articuno. For regular gym fighting, F/O is great against Blissey with Z/Dg, but against most other defenders that I want a fire attacker for (especially after a little motivation loss) I prefer F/Ft for faster energy use, less wasted energy, and less overkill.
