Top Pokemon — Fire-Type

Charizard's 534 base stat total secured second place, proving its mix of Special Attack and Speed still makes it a top threat, even if it couldn't outrun Arcanine this month.

Ninetales hit rank 3 with 505 base stats, leveraging blistering Speed and Special Attack to punish slower foes in a meta that often underestimates finesse.

Rapidash galloped to fourth with a 500 base stat total, its pure Speed stat making it a nightmare for unprepared teams despite lacking special moves.

Magmar's 495 base stat total earned it fifth place, but its average defenses kept it from climbing higher in a month dominated by bulkier Fire types.

Ponyta, with 410 base stats, surprised at rank 6—trainers are clearly testing this pre-evolution for its early-game speed and future Rapidash payoff.

Charmeleon's 405 base stat total placed it seventh, showing that middle-stage evolutions can still compete when paired with the right strategy.

Growlithe, at 350 base stats, landed eighth—a niche pick for trainers who prefer Arcanine's evolution path but need a cheaper option now.

Charmander's 309 base stat total earned ninth, proof that even the starter's pre-evolution sees play, likely in creative low-tier formats.

Vulpix rounded out the list with 299 base stats—the lowest here, but its evolution into Ninetales justifies its use in May 2026's speed-focused teams.
