Iron Tail>Crunch imo.

I've enjoyed using a Toxic stalling Arcanine before with Leftovers. Maybe you could try that. Of course, it's not as good as the other sets because two move slots are wasted on Toxic and Protect. I'd go with Eontios' set.

OMFG................
Fire Blast>Flamethrower. It needs as much power as it get imo

One simple word. Accuracy.

Flamethrower > Fire Blast in most cases.

I don't know if Overheat is better than Flamethrower though...

Overheat is better than Flamethrower. You probably'll only be using the fire move to take down the occasional in-game Skarmory. So Overheat > FT.

One simple thing.
Fire Blast>>Flamethrower 9 times out of 10.

Also, if you use Iron Tail over Crunch, then use Overheat.

I prefer fire blast, imo.
