So a fun discussion question: What Pokémon do you think should have had the fire stone as an evolution method instead of what it currently has? This graph is based on SMOGONs tier listings. It is one of the mons that are VERY affected by Smogon rule changes. but OH BOY, Ninetails saved it! For those who don't understand Ninetails viability was entirely based off of its ability, so when it was banned in Smogon, it fell off. The fire stone evolutions are suprisingly few, with only ONE being post gen 1 (aside from Hisuian Archanine, but that is a form of a gen 1 mon, and since its so new I could not count it in) so I was a bit afraid that this graph would be boring. Heatran absolutely is a defensive pokemon as much as it is offensive and while Victini is often an offensive mon used to threaten mons, it still has valuable defensive utility. They both sorta kinda have defensive capability, but this is purely to take a hit and then deal a bigger hit in return. The best fire types (IE Victini and Heatran) are quite strictly offensive with Victini’s Nuke in V-create and answers to bulky waters in bolt strike and then Heatran’s Magma Storm and Taunt. It's also nice to resist uturn and steel. Having multiple crucial resistenced including ice, fairy and itself. Mono fire has it rougher but paired with a secondary typing they are often extremely reliable.

GSC move effects in general are implemented as "move scripts" with different commands doing different things. Contrary to what Bulbapedia claims, and what Showdown does (inherited by gen3), King's Rock in GSC isn't merely restricted to moves without secondary effects.
