The Top 5 Weakest Starting Pokemon Evolutions of All-Time

3: Typhlosion

Johto starters arguably have some of the best designs in Pokemon, but unfortunately aren’t great competitive battlers. Despite being awesome looking, Typhlosion is a pretty basic fire-type Pokemon with a very shallow move pool. It lacks the diversity needed to counter Pokemon that switch in to take it out.

Its other fire starter brethren are able to compensate in different ways. Blaziken has speed, Infernape has a great movepool, and Charizard can mega evolve into two much more powerful forms in the later games. Typhlosion just sort of remains a bland fire Pokemon with a cool design. The best it gets is Focus Blast and Solar Beam, which are only okay considering the type move coverage Typhlosion needs to actually be successful.
