When one of them is a gen1 Fire (or even worse, Fire/Flying) type with 1 attacking move and the other is a Farfetch'd, things start to get weird.

It's fairly bad, there are no physical Fire moves in gen 1 whatsoever.

To clarify, the Phys/Special split happened in Generation 4. Prior to that whether a move was Special or Physical depended entirely on the move's type.

Physical/Special depends entirely on type, so all fire moves are special.

Look at the moves our pokemon know. Falreon's movepool isn't going to matter at all. I hope we end up with one just to hear people cry and accuse the chat of being idiots when they're ignoring the obvious.

Only through types. So all fire moves are special (which thankfully key off of Flareon's 110 Special, which isn't TOO bad. Really making its Special Defense 110 instead of its Special Attack is what killed it in later gens.)

Yes. Some types were physical, some types were special. Even if it made no sense for a particular move of that type.

Yeah, but the bigger thing is if we're going to the trouble to evolve it, best case scenario is Vaporeon so it can learn surf and we don't have to struggle with boxes.

Reading it up, it appears Stone-based evolutions cannot be cancelled.

That's one comfort I guess.

I kinda hope they get an electreon, he's pretty rad in Gen 1 and a gamble to deposit mons would be fun (if Pidgeot gets an HM first)

Well, it doesn't have the speed to outrun anything or the bulk to take any hits, so it was never going to be amazing.

But Gen 1 is probably the best time for it (except maybe gen VI) due to it's high attack and special.

Also it's going to be sweet when we try to get Flareon 11 levels so it can learn Ember with only Tackle and maybe Quick Attack, only to deny Ember.
