Weak to Rock, but its strong fast move Incinerate hits hard, and it mostly runs Flame Charge for attack buffs. Some players run the two Flying moves Fly + Brave Bird, and a skilled user of that set is very tricky. A 15/15/15 at level 50 is the strongest, but a 15/12/15 Best Buddy at level 51 is used as the top spec.
