Yeah it's the move pools that ruin potential good Pokemon.
Flareon has a killer Attack stat, but lack of a high-powered physical Fire attack (like Flare Blitz) keeps Flareon on the sidelines in competitive play in favor of other Fire types. We can only hope Gen VI will buff the move pools of some of the short-changed Pokemon (like giving Flareon Flare Blitz or a different high-powered physical Fire attack for example).
