What are fire-type attackers useful for?
I already have a Charizard with Ember/FB and an Arcanine with FF/FT among my top twelve attackers. They excel at destroying Exeggutor, which is the fifth-most common Gen 1 defender in my local meta (the only common Gen 2 defender is Blissey, with Tyranitar slightly less common than Exeggutor).
My second-tier attackers include three wonder Flareons with Ember/FB and a non-wonder Flareon with FS/OH (apparently a very powerful moveset). If I get a wonder Flareon with FS/OH, would it be worth powering up and what would it (and my Arcanine/Charizard) be useful for? I currently have 150k stardust (powering up a Count/DP Machamp) and 400 Eevee candy, but do not need a third Exeggutor killer.

Fire works good against Blissey. I would totally power up a FS/OH wonder Flareon to at least level 30, my 52% one at level 30 and is awesome..I wanted to power it more but the cp difference at max level is just too much. I also use my 78% level 33 Arcanine with FF/FB a lot too. All that said you are somewhat low on stardust, There might be better things for you spend it on, I dont know your gym meta etc.
Arcanine could take out a sub 2900 CP Blissey w/ FF/FB. A maxed out one could take out a 3K one provided you dodge. It's not the optimal attacker into Blissey and Snorlax, but it can take them out forsure. A FS/OH Flareon is insane, but it has a hard time taking out a Blissey by itself due it its low HP. I seldomly ever use Charizard so I can't provide any feedback w/ that one.
Btw all 3 are super useful if you ever see a Steel type like Scizor or Steelix.
