Banded Typhlosion

Typhlosion is my favourite pokemon of all time ever since playing Gold when I was 8. Unfortunately he is absolutely useless. The Scarf Eruption (ScarfRuption) set is fine but I wanted to take advantage of his wide physical attacking movepool with a Choice Band set.

[SET]
Move 1: Flareblitz
Move 2: Earthquake
Move 3: Shadow Claw
Move 4: Wild Charge
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Jolly
Evs: Attack - 252/ Speed - 252/ Health - 4

This set is not any better than other physical fire sets such as Charizard Mega X, Blaziken, Infernape, etc, in fact it might be decidedly worse depending on how you want to use it. A meddling speed stat, no secondary typing, and no ability to set up hold this back against other better physical fire sets. The only time you would want to use this is if you want a Typhlosion on your team but then the ScarfRuption set is a better choice.
 
Hello, and welcome to Smogon! You need moderator approval to post here, and Typhlosion isn’t on the Viability Rankings (which are the Pokemon we write analyses for) anyway, so I’m locking this.
