Talk:Flareon (Pokémon)

Disambig?

When I wanted to access the description of a TCG booster pack, I typed "booster" and ended up here (as I forgot Booster is also the japanese name of Flareon). So the question is, should we make a disambiguation page between the Pokemon and the Booster pack? Yohrd 07:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Sure. Here's good. Just like Ghost. TTEchidna 12:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Wrong Sentence, I think?

In Generations I and II, and if Skill Swap or Gastro Acid is used, or if the opponent has Mold Breaker, the effectiveness of Fire-type moves is ½×.

The sentence I refered to in Jolteon's talk page is at most ambiguous, but this one is certainly wrong. It *has* the "and" after the first condition. Isn't it wrong? --Bbbbbbbbba 10:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Needs to be or. Changing. —darklordtrom 10:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Trivia error

A shiney Flareon does not have the same colours as a normal Eevee, but this pages is protected, and I can't edit it. Could someone fix this? Silver Eevee _talk? ^contribs! 08:03, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Dog???

Is Flareon, Vaporeon, Glacieon, Leafeon, Espeon, Umbreon, eevee, and Jolteon based on dogs, or Cats????--User:Corynofplatinum 00:08, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

According to the origin section of the page, they are most likely based on both. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 00:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

some are more dog like and some are more cat like for example the dog like ones are eevee jolteon flareon umbreon leafeon and glaceon while the cat like ones are vaporeon and espeon (Ataro 00:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC))

Trivia - Flare Blitz

Is it really trivia that Flareon is a physical attacker that can't learn Flare Blitz? You could say something like that for any move that any Pokemon doesn't know. I didn't wan't to remove it with out asking first, but I really don't think this is any more of a piece of trivia than it would be if I just said Flareon sucks competitively. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that is the real motivation behind this trivia piece. Jas61292 06:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Not really. I removed it. --jda95 06:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

"Flareon Has No Moves"

Would it be worth mentioning in trivia that Flareon has achieved meme status for its weak movepool? Kookamooka 13:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Bumping this. Kookamooka 16:11, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Once again bumping. Kookamooka 22:05, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

No, it's not notable. Ataro 22:06, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

The A

Why is the "a" in the first sentence italicized? It supposedly was added by BulbaBot, our resident MediaWiki bot... --Abcboy (talk) 22:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Never mind... I need to get an account on the forums. --Abcboy (talk) 22:15, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Gen 4 Moveset

Didn't flareon learn all its move at least twice? Infact didn't all eeveeluions have the same thing going on? - BludDMess (talk) 02:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Origin

Would it be a stretch to suggest that some traits of Flareon may have been inspired from the Lionhead rabbit? Flareon's body structure is generally stockier compared to the rest of the eeveelutions, similarly to a domestic rabbit, and the lionhead breed is known to have a thick mane and has that tuft of hair that is a trait unique to Flareon. Plus, the long ears are generally, rabbit-like.

I'd also argue that the red fox is a weak link to suggest that it serves as an inspiration for Flareon's design, as the orange coloring is only there to represent its type, and red foxes have a slim body structure (the original trivia states that Flareon and red foxes share the same body shape, but that's not really true when you compare it to the likes of Nickit and Thievul, actual red fox pokemon who are slimmer in design) compared to Flareon which has a shorter and stockier shape.

I'd like to hear some opinions about this. --Pika Pika Pi~!! (talk) 13:07, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
