When being compared to Pokemon legends like Ho-oh and Charizard, it’s easy for other Fire-types to be overlooked.
Throughout all generations of Pokemon, Fire-types typically are known for being offensive juggernauts. Any Pokemon with a high Attack stat that can dish out Overheats and Flamethrowers is going to be a threat.
As of recently in Pokemon GO, though, the attention has been shifted to the legendary Fire-types, including Ho-oh, Entei and Moltres. While these Pokemon are fantastic, there are a handful of other Fire-types that can still work in PvP modes, albeit not as consistently.

What are some underrated Fire-type Pokemon that can still do well in battle?
#3 – Flareon
It’s not everyday that an Eeveelution goes overlooked. Flareon, however, has offensive capabilities that rival that of some of the stronger Fire-types. 246 Attack is just one point under Magmortar. The big advantage Flareon has, though, is access to both Fire Spin and Overheat – two of the best Fire-type moves. Flareon doesn’t have a nice coverage move to pair with this, but it’s still a potent Fire-type attacker.
#2 – Typhlosion
