Hold off until at leastlevel 23 to evolve Baoppu, since it learns the new Fire-type move Flame Burst at level 22, which damages nearby opponents in addition to the target and has a solid base power of 70. It alsolearns Fire Blast at level 34, which is a powerful Fire-type attack (base power 120) that has a chance of inflicting a burn, which is also available asTM38, so you don't have to worry about waiting to level up on that one. There's a handful of other good STAB TM options for Baokkii as well, including TM11 (Sunny Day) which boosts the power of Fire-type moves, and TM59 (Incinerate) which does damage and destroys the opponent's berry.
Like the other monkeys, his defense and special defense are both pretty dismal, so it's a good idea to avoid opponents who have a type advantage.
