Typhlosion

Attacker

Best Typhlosion Build - Eruption Flame Wheel Damage Guide

Advanced S-Tier current patch

Win Conditions

Manage rage correctly, land peak-rage Eruption and Flame Wheel in grouped fights, and snowball Drive Lens through safe takedowns.

Power Spikes

Level 5 Flame Wheel, level 7 Eruption, level 9 Explosive Heat Haze, and peak rage before major fights.

Team Role

Ranged special Attacker that deals sustained area damage and uses Flame Wheel for controlled engage or survivability.

Game Strategy

Early Game

  • Use Ember and boosted attacks to farm safely while building toward peak rage before committing.
  • Avoid overextending before Flame Wheel because Typhlosion's early escape tools are limited.
  • Angle boosted attacks through multiple wild Pokemon or enemies to speed up clears and poke.

Mid Game

  • Wait for peak rage before using Eruption or Flame Wheel whenever possible for extra damage and control.
  • Use Flame Wheel only when it will hit a target so Typhlosion gains shield value and follow-up crowd control.
  • Cast Eruption into grouped enemies to force them apart and open picks for your team.

Late Game

  • At Rayquaza, keep Eject Button ready and use Flame Wheel to reposition after enemy control tools are spent.
  • Use Explosive Heat Haze to shove enemies and create a damaging zone that makes Typhlosion harder to target.
  • Prioritize sustained damage from safe angles over diving deep without peak rage.

Advanced Tips

Item Synergies

  • Wise Glasses and Slick Spoon maximize Eruption's special damage, while Drive Lens rewards KOs and assists with more Sp. Atk and cooldown reduction.
  • 6 Green emblems amplify damage and 6 White emblems add enough HP to survive while Flame Wheel's shield comes online.

Matchups

  • Strong against: grouped teams, low-mobility frontlines, and objectives where Eruption can force enemies to scatter.
  • Weak against: burst assassins, crowd control before peak rage, and long-range poke that prevents Flame Wheel entry.

Additional Notes

  • Special damage Attacker build that maximizes Eruption DPS and peak-rage Flame Wheel engage value.
  • Wise Glasses, Slick Spoon, and Drive Lens stack Sp. Atk scaling, penetration, and snowball potential.
  • Flame Wheel gives Typhlosion a shield and crowd control, but must be timed carefully after its cooldown and shield nerfs.
  • Eject Button protects Typhlosion when peak rage is unavailable or Flame Wheel has already been spent.
