Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Fletchinder is the Ember Pokémon — Fire and Flying middle stage between Fletchling and Talonflame. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Talonflame — not a finished raid attacker. Fire/Flying hits Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel well; Water, Electric, and Rock punish it. Evolve Fletchling up the line. Incinerate from Fletchling Community Day belongs on Talonflame.

Trainers almost never power Fletchinder for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Talonflame (and Incinerate). Against Fletchinder, lead with Water, Electric, or Rock.
