Interesting.

I like Cyndaquil and Ampharos 2. The only issue I have with the Cyndaquil line is that they don't learn any good non-fire-type attacks, so they're helpless against Pokemon who resist Fire (like Rock types). Even if you move faster and burn your opponent (and your opponent only uses Physical attacks), that still doesn't even out the field due to Rock's advantage over Fire. I still train them, though.
