Thread: Charizard vs Typhlosion

Typhlosion because of the fire collar.

I like both but Charizard is awesome fire/flying type combo doesn't compare to Typhlosion. Plus Charizard is just beast with his moves.

They are both about even in a fight. I like them both equally, but I'll choose Typhlosion because most people chose Charizard.

Charizard. Better design, great movepool and typing.

Charizard all the way!

Charizard. His design might not be the most original, but neither is Typhlosion's. Charizard's Movepool is huge, and despite the added weaknesses and the pesky 4x weakness to Rock, immunity to Earthquake and ability to use both STABs efficiently with a Movepool that works for his best offensive Stat puts Charizard at an edge.

As it is, Typhlosion is just a failed copy. Yep, exact same Stats in the exact same places bug me much more than repeated Types. Both are stupid reasons to complain anyway. That aside, I prefer Charizard, because he can do much more stuff than Typhlosion.

Charizard looks great and it learns Dragon-type moves. Charizard for me.

Typlosion. My first starter, man did I love that thing. Lvl 100 in a pc in b/w now. Maybe I'll fight elite four with her.





One thing to say to all the zards!
Typlosion used rock slide. Nuff said.

1. I prefer Charizard for its neat design

2. Typhlosion because of those darn stealth rocks crippling my Charizard

3. Probably Charizard for his Belly Drum moveset back in Gen 4, which means high-powered EQ = dead Typhlosion

Typhlosion for sure, I'm sad that he's got the exact same stats as Charizard and that his move pool isn't great but he's definitely got the best design.

Which one of these guys do you prefer? Typhlosion

Which one is more useful overall? Charizard or Typhlosion. Honestly I think it depends on the game you're playing in and your personal battling style.

Which one would win in a battle? Typhlosion.

Only thing Charizard has over Typhlosion is the bigger movepool and an immunity to Earthquake. Nice improvements to be sure, but it also comes with plenty of weaknesses. In the modern pokemon world you're far to likely to run across Stone Edge. And in terms of this battle a well placed Wild Charge can do Charizard some serious damage.

I chose Typhlosion because it was easy to solo the Johto region AND win the league with only one Typhlosion. Plus, it's also fairly easy to solo the Kanto regions afterwards with only Typhlosion

Meanwhile, I found it hard to solo Kanto with Charizard.

I choose Typhlosion, because in usual combat, Typhlosion can cover all of it's weaknesses with Solarbeam, allowing more room for extra moves. This is also why I prefer pure fire-types over most dual types.

But no one would use Solarbeam unless your fire type is under the sun, because it wastes two turns and allows your opponent to switch to one of his/her Pokemon who resists grass types. It's why I recommend Grass Knot or Energy Ball as an alternative, but very few fire types have them.

I'm not really into fire types, but i like Typhlosion better. I like his design more than the dragon.
