Question about playing against a pokemon's strongest stats.

[Daysoo]

In the process of making an Eeveelution team.
Come down to the UU two... Flareon and Glaceon.

With Flareon, I'm wondering which stat I should train up.
He has a naturally good Physical Attack stat, but no good Physical moves.
He has some good Special moves, but less-than-awesome Special Attack.
Which would hit harder?
Giving him a +Sp.Atk nature/characteristic, with better moves?
Or giving him a +Atk nature/characteristic, but with lower power physical attacks, like Fire Fang?
How could I calculate this?

Quick reference:

Thanks for any help in advance, and please keep the "MAKE A REAL TEAM" comments to yourself. ;D

Flareon is a tricky one, and I say have a good special move just in case, but you'll want to check his nature, and see if that affects it's attack or special attack first. It never hurts to have a mixture of both, though.

Hope the Eevee team works well for you.

There is no Flareon on my team yet.
I'll breed for one when I know what to breed for.
If it turns out he'll deal more damage if I give him a +Atk nature and physical, I'll breed for the +Atk nature and put EV points into Attack.
If he would deal more damage with a +SpAtk nature and special moves, I'll breed for the +SpAtk nature, and put EV points into SpAtk.

I would use this set: (Credits to Smogon cause I know nothing about Flareon)

Flareon @ LKeftovers
Adamant
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spd
-Will-o-Wisp
-Toxic
-Fire Fang
-Return / Iron Tail

Until wii meet again,

DESSUUUUU!!!!
I'm assuming your not using a BP team, from what you've told me about your team so far. Try this out(note: made off the top of my head)

Flareon @ Choice Band
Naughty
144 HP, 252 Attack, 112(ZOMG 112!!!!) Special Attack
Flare Blitz
Overheat
Thunderfang
Return

Should be obvious. Tell me what you think

Flareon can't learn Flare Blitz or Thunder Fang, dude. <_<
If he could, he might get a bump to BL. XD

I don't know too much about Glaceon...but this is what I think...

Glaceon @Choice Specs/Wise Glasses (I prefer Wise Glasses)
Modest
EV's: 252 Spd/128 HP/120 Sp. Atk
-Ice Beam
-Water Pulse
-Shadow Ball
-Hail/Mirror Coat
---Ice Beam is obvious and Water Pulse can deal with Fires. The last move is up to you but since you said you were having an Eeveelution team I don't think they can weather Hail so put Mirror Coat there instead.

 

[mood4food77]

actually, with hail up, you can run blizzard over ice beam

100% accuracy ftw

 

[Eevee4ssbb]

i was making a eevee team 2 and glaceon is imo the best
ice beam
shadow ball
water pulse
?????

that would be rite. but u dont want his other eeveelution team to be damaged by Hail.

 

[Eevee4ssbb]

hmm i have that problem 2

 

[Terywj [태리]]

yea that's why ice beam works best on an eeveelution team.

 

[Eevee4ssbb]

im goona agree
i tried making eevee team.....not a good idea

 

[ss118]

Lol, I assumed too much out of Flareon.

I like eeveelution teams in advance: you didn't have to pick between two of them.

 

[Tha L@wl]

shadow ball
water pulse

glaceon would be better IMO if it had a bit more HP and a bit more speed...
but i think jolteon is obviously the best....

 

[axemangx]

Flareon has the worst moveset choices ever. Period. >_>

Yeah, that's why he's UU.
So, still no answer to my question on which would hit harder?
Is there no known way to calculate it?
