Fire Phys. Attacker

[OtterPops]

Who do you think is the best Fire physical attacker: Arcanine, Rapidash, or Flareon? I am not including Goukazaru because I think it works better as a special attacker and I just don't like Charizard for its 4x Rock weakness, Electric weakness, and no resistance to Ice (I don't like its looks either). I like them all equally; Rapidash was my first favorite, Flareon is my second favorite eeveelution, and Arcanine looks cool to me.

Arcanine by a mile. I don't really care for Rapidash or Flareon.

Camerupt... pretty good if you don't count the 4X weakness to water

Blazkien wins though.

Well, I kinda meant pure Fire, but I forgot to put that on the post. I like your ideas, too, though.

Flareon+No Flare Drive=One very sad SHIFTER

I like Arcanine the best as it looks the coolest and it owns, especially if you use a team of six of them in Advance Double Battle, all with Choice Band and Extremespeed.

Movepool:
Arcanaine: Thunder Fang, Flame Wheel/Flare Drive, Crunch, Aerial Ace, Return/Extreme Speed, Iron Tail

Rapidash: Poison Stab, Megahorn, Flame Wheel/Flare Drive, Quick Attack/Return, Bounce, Iron Tail,

Flareon: Fire Fang, Iron Tail, Return/Quick Attack,
Aracanine wins with movepool. He has the same amount as Rapidash, but his moves are a little more productive. He can cover his Water weakness. Second is Rapidash because she does have more variety than poor Flareon who stumbles across the finish line.

Stats:
Arcanine: HP: 90/ Atk: 110/ Def: 80/ Sp. Atk: 100/ Sp. Def: 80/ Spd: 95
Rapidash: HP: 65/ Atk: 100/ Def: 70/ Sp. Atk: 80/ Sp. Def: 80/ Spd: 105
Flareon: HP:65/ Atk:130/Def: 60/ Sp. Atk: 95/ Sp. Def: 110/ Spd: 65

HP: Arcanine
Attack: Flareon
Defense: Arcanine
Sp. Attack: Arcanine
Sp. Def: Flareon
Speed: Rapidash

Arcanine beats 'em in stats and in movepool. Battlewise, he is the better choice, but by personal preference, and I love Arcanine, I would pick Rapidash.

Thanks you guys, you helped a lot (especially your long post Grass Guardian). My personal preference is also Rapidash, but I'll probably train the other two just for fun, too.

Flareon definately, he has huge attack. Charizard is good too;006;

 

[Deathborn_606]

Arcanine, he's one of the better fire types in movepool to be worked to his stats and his stats in general are good.

 

[AJ Flibble]

Flareon. Pity is got so raped by NOT getting Flare Drive.

I haven't found a better fire type pokemon than Charizard in the games. It's super powerful. I raised my charizard on LeafGreen (the first time I played it) to level 100, and it was the strongest pokemon in my arsenal. I used it in battle after battle, to the detriment of my other pokemon, and it swept most of the gyms. The three you listed just don't compare (well, I've only used arcanine for the pokedex). Probably ninetails is the next most impressive fighter.
