Flareon

Template:Pokeinfobox

Flareon (ブースター Booster in Japanese, Flamara in German, and Pyroli in French) is a fictional species of the Pokémon franchise.

Flareon's name is derived from flare. The -eon element is common to all Eevee evolutions. Its Japanese name may refer to rocket boosters, which propel things by combustion of fuel.

Appearance

Flareon is a quadruped that bears traits of dogs and foxes. Its head, ears, torso, and legs are covered with short, red-orange fur, while large tufts of yellow fur are found between its ears, and around its neck and tail. The coloration of its fur causes many to remark that it resembles fire.

Flareon and the other eeveelutions also bear a resemblance to rabbits, which would make sense because before lab rats, many scientists experimented on rabbits.

Biology

Flareon is able to store amazing amounts of heat in its body. Although its fluffy fur (it's the furriest of all the Eevee evolutions) helps to give off excess heat by directing it along the hairs and away from the Pokémon, its body temperature may still reach or even exceed 1,650°F (about 900°C). When it uses this heat for Fire-type attacks, the fire can reach temperatures of nearly 3,100°F (about 1705°C). Flareon launches fire attacks from an internal "flame sack," an organ that lets it store this incredible amount of heat. When it is not in battle, it is possible to touch a Flareon without getting burnt, despite its internal heat.

In the video games

Flareon cannot be caught in any of the Pokémon games. It must be evolved from Eevee with a Fire Stone. Therefore, Flareon's availability depends directly on the availability of Eevee.

Flareon has the highest Attack of all of Eevee's evolutionary forms and also good Sp. Att. (though not quite as impressive as it's Attack), but its limited moveset and otherwise average stats make it the least used out of Eevee's five evolutions.

Flareon is also, however, a great "psychic slayer", with it's knowledge of shadowball (through TM) and extrememly high attack. Common moveset is: Shadowball, Return, Flamethrower, and Reflect. A speedy Baton Passer could be a Flareon's best friend.

In the anime

Flareon's first appearance in the Pokémon anime was in Episode 40, The Battling Eevee Brothers!. In this episode, Ash's party comes upon a family of four brothers who all have Eevee evolutions. The three older brothers have Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon, and they are pressuring their youngest brother Mike to evolve his Eevee, too. What they fail to notice is that he doesn't want to. When Team Rocket steals all of the Pokémon, however, Mike proves that his Eevee doesn't need evolving by beating Team Rocket when his brothers' Pokémon couldn't.

In Episode 56, The Ultimate Test!, Ash and his friends participate in the Pokémon League Admission Exam, part of which is battling using random Pokémon. Ash ends up using a Weezing while battling a Flareon, which he wins against because the Weezing's Smog caused an explosion when hit by Flareon's fire.

In Episode 185, Trouble's Brewing!, a family of sisters in Ecruteak City, like the Eevee Brothers in Episode 40, are trainers of most of the different Eevee evolutions, including Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, and Umbreon. These Pokémon help in fighting off Team Rocket. These same Pokémon reappear, with Eevee having since evolved into Espeon, in Episode 228, Espeon Not Included!, when Team Rocket kidnaps all of them. The Pokémon end up being rescued by Ash's party with help from the Espeon and its trainer.

A young male trainer trying to catch a Magcargo has a Flareon as his only Pokémon in Episode 242, Some Like It Hot!. In Episodes 353 and 354, a Pokémon Coordinator has a Flareon that she uses in Pokémon Contests and to help train May's Bulbasaur.
