We will talk more about weather effects in battle down below in terms of moves, but the weather is always about half the battle, and the weather conditions are important for picking your best counters. If you look at the table above, they are sorted into the counter types.

In Rainy, you’re better off using water, in Partly Cloudy use your rock types and in Sunny give your ground types a spin! In neutral weather, use your best counters from the various typings, and if you do not have a full team of one type (ie. A full water type team), fill in the extra spaces with your best Pokémon from the other counter types. No shame in a mixed typing team of well-rounded counters.

Typhlosion Stats and Move Set

	Typhlosion Fire
Max CP	3266
ATK	223
DEF	173
HP	186
Weak to
Resists
Fast moves	Shadow Claw Ember Incinerate
Charge moves	Thunder Punch Overheat Fire Blast Solar Beam Blast Burn*

*Denotes a legacy move only obtainable via Elite TM.

As far as fast moves go, all of your optimal counters will resist Ember, making it the easier move to go against. Not that Shadow Claw will hit super effective against any Pokémon that you will probably use, but not having the resistance tends to make it hit a little harder.

For charge move, the red sirens go off for Solar Beam! Solar Beam hits super effectively against every normal counter listed above, except for the dragons. It is a very good coverage move but could make a duo run of it a little tighter than it should be, especially in sunny weather. Fire Blast is the weaker of the one bar, fire type, charge moves, so that would be the easiest charge to go up against.

Weather Effect on Battle

As mentioned above under our counters list, the weather is half the battle! Here is a visual representation of how the weather will play a role in your battle against Typhlosion!
