Typhlosionin Pokémon Polished Crystal
Pokédex Entry
Volcano Pokémon
Said to purify lost, forsaken souls with its flames and guide them to the afterlife. High Special Attack and Speed make it a straightforward special sweeper. It gets decent coverage with Focus Blast or Thunderpunch. One of the easier starters to use well, and most of the time my choice. You can get the alternate form later in the game but you cannot evolve into it.
