Not even Jolteon?  But Jolteon is so cool!

Also, for physical fire (assuming the standard "UU" level), screw Flareon and Rapidash.  It's all about the Arcanine or movie Entei.

Even though I'd love to say Charizard, stealth rock just rapes him too much.
meh, i prefer ampharos to jolteon, and i've become used to my electric types having the static ability, it's more useful than volt absorb, and i don't know why, but i despise entei, i pretty much hate all fire and electric legends
Well, I love Fire types, but I despise Moltres. I never liked it. It's almost the same with Entei. Fire legendaries aren't as good as other Fire Pokemon or other legendaries imo...

Agreed.  Honestly, in my opinion, a lot of the legendaries aren't as good as well trained 'common' pokemon.  The same sometimes applies to starter pokemon as well.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

You could try hatching an starter and see if the hatched one gets better stat than the starter itself. I wish we could hatch legendaries, specially if they have some good egg moves to learn. If not, legendaries are usually predictable in their attacks.

Never played that gen, so I can't prove or deny that.

In general, the lower level you train Pokemon from, the more they PWN. Which is why it's actually fairly easy to PWN legendaries with other Pokemon trained to the same level, because you tend to catch them at such high levels. Thanks to the Arceus event, though, you can train Dialga, Palkia or Giratina from level 1. When i'm done with it, my Dialga is gonne OWN EVERYTHING XDXDXD

Trainning a Blissey from very low level can get up to 700 HP.

I think you're all confusing "length of training" or "time taken to train" with "having all EVs".  It's just more likely that a Pokemon you've had for a while will have their full 510 EVs, whereas a new one won't.  However, if you actually "train" the Pokemon instead of just leveling it up, you'll hit the max stats.

While being able to withstand close to anything except fighting or ground.  I'd take that any day over getting raped by 25-50% just by switching in, let alone any attack you take.

Yes, that is correct.  And his stat spread is 91 HP, 90 Attack, 106 Defense, 130 Special Attack, 106 Special Defense, 77 Speed.  Plus, he packs Flash Fire.

And that is why my Crobat in Platinum and my Dragonair in SS pwn everything.  <3
