Common Challenges
Not only does Hisuian Typhlosion have access to Eruption and Mystical Fire, it also has the signature move Infernal Parade, a Fire-type move with base power 90 and 90% accuracy. This move can do a lot of damage, but it also comes with a drawback: It lowers Hisuian Typhlosion’s Special Attack by two stages after use. This can make it difficult to keep Hisuian Typhlosion’s damage output high over the course of a battle.
Innovative Solutions
One way to mitigate the drawbacks of Infernal Parade is to pair Hisuian Typhlosion with a Pokémon that can raise its Special Attack. A good option for this is Amoonguss, which can use Pollen Puff to raise Hisuian Typhlosion’s Special Attack by two stages. Another good support option for Hisuian Typhlosion is Grimmsnarl, which can use Screen moves to protect Hisuian Typhlosion from status effects and Priority moves.
