I know he has comically short arms, and a very long neck but his form is great for a dab and he’s even leaning into it with his legs. I’d say it’s a top 10 on form if his right arm were raised. (see illustration 2 for perfect leg and arm placement in a classic form dab)

Interesting point you bring up. I think they have exactly opposite neck/arm proportions and are both doing their best to dab. I agree that Combusken has better arm positioning, but I think his neck is much much too upright compared to Typhlosion
I think this poses a more philosophical question… do you need to worry about burning yourself when your head is literally on fire? imo no, which just leaves this as an ok dab but I think considerably weaker than both Combusken and Typhlosion considering that Moltres actually has perfect neck and arm length for a deep dab
I’m not buying it. I think that you would get used to being covered in eternal hellfire and acclimate to the pain. I think Moltres is a FRAUD and a dirty clout chaser and only posed for the camera while it was cool. I’m going to expose him on instagram
