On Smogon's Movedex: Generation III Generation IV Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Blast Burn is a slightly inaccurate but very highly-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. For all intents and purposes, it is a Fire-type Hyper Beam.

Learnset

Generation III

In FireRed and LeafGreen, an elderly woman on Cape Brink will teach Charizard Blast Burn. Like Hydro Cannon and Frenzy Plant, the Pokémon must have a very high happiness rating.

Another way to get the move would be to clear the Mt. Battle challenge in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, then choose Cyndaquil as the prize.

Generation IV

An elderly man, much like the woman on Cape Brink, appears on Route 228 in the Battle Zone, and will teach it to the three fully evolved fire starters in the previous generations, as well as Infernape. He will also require that the Pokémon that is to learn the move has a high happiness rating.

Trivia

• Smeargle is the only Pokémon that is not a Template:Type2 starter Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn, due to Sketch.
• Mew, though repeatedly said on the Pokédex to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Blast Burn because it can only be taught to Fire-type starter Pokémon.
