Torkoal was always the Fire Pokemon left out for me.

I mean you'd have Sugma and Mrcargo in that cave to Lavaridge, and then there was a Fire Turtle and I was all "Huh. That's odd" then I just skipped over it.

Which I suppose is a shame since The Gym Leader has one and it uses Overheat all the time >_>

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-06-2011, 03:14 PM

^Send a strong Rock/Water against it. Double resistance + Overheat's law of diminishing return = You win without a care in the world.

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

Robotazy · 01-06-2011, 05:07 PM

I don't have problems winning.

It was just kind of odd how a Pokemon I completely missed in the cave is the Flannery's Main Pokemon. >_>

Now that I think about it, the 3rd generation didn't have too many fire pokemon. At least compared to Water.

Sim Kid · 01-08-2011, 06:46 PM

I never really used this pokemon. Just seemed like there were better fire types available. Still better than Slugma and Magcargo who just unfortunately got screwed.

I prefer Numel and Camerupt.
