I'm kinda indifferent towards Krabby, but I dont think its THAT bad
I agree, IMO Water Pokemon are hands down the best type in-game for Kanto
And maybe Jolteon could move over Flareon? I mean we can teach Jolteon an electric attack (shock wave) as soon as we get it. Flareon doesnt learn a fire attack until 36 Fire Spin (which sucks). The only Fire TMs are Flamethrower and Fire Blast, which either is expensive or not even availiable when we get Flareon.
Team Rocket members usaully have Zubats/Golbats and thats right up Jolteon's niche, so it isnt totally useless and it does better against the Elite Four than Flareon. To be honest, I only see Flareon having bite going for it.
