Revision as of 19:09, 2 March 2019
The Fire type (Japanese: ほのおタイプ Flame type) is one of the eighteen types. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fire-type Pokémon include Blaine of Cinnabar Island, Flannery of Lavaridge Town, Flint of the Sinnoh Elite Four, Chili of Striaton City, Malva of the Kalos Elite Four, and Trial Captain Kiawe of Paniola Town. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Fire-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack.

Characteristics
Defense
Very few Fire-type Pokémon have a secondary type that negates their weakness to Water-type attacks. On the other hand, most Fire types can learn Solar Beam to counter all three of the type's weaknesses.
The Fire type grants immunity to burns and the sea of fire caused by Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge. It enables the use of Burn Up, though Burn Up removes the user's Fire type.
Offense
During harsh sunlight or extremely harsh sunlight, the power of Fire-type attacks is increased by 50%. The power of Fire-type attacks is decreased by 50% during rain, while all Fire-type moves will fail during heavy rain. When Water Sport is in the effect, the power of Fire-type moves are decreased by 50%. When used under the effect of Powder, Fire attacks will damage the user by 1/4 of its max HP instead of executing normally.
Because Fire is super effective against Grass and Bug, it combines well with Ground-type attacks.
Contest properties
In Contests, Fire-type moves are typically Beautiful moves.
Pokémon
As of Generation VII, there are 68 Fire-type Pokémon or 8.4% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Fire-type in at least one of their forms, including Primal Reversion and Alola Forms), making it the 7th most common type.

In the TCG
- Main article: Fire (TCG)
Similar to the games, Fire-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Water with no resistances. Fire-type Pokémon are strong against Grass and Metal Pokémon, whilst Colorless Pokémon can resist this type.
Trivia
- Generation V introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 17, and Generation IV introduced the fewest, with five.
- Generation V introduced the most Fire-type moves of any generation, with 11, and Generation VI introduced the fewest, with only one.
- Fire was the last type to receive a Pokémon with Water as the other type, only receiving one with Volcanion in Generation VI.
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are only two evolutionary lines of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the Chimchar and Ponyta evolutionary lines). In Pokémon Platinum, this was changed with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the Houndour and Magmar families, as well as Flareon.
- In the core series Pokémon games since Generation III, the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, including the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Pokémon Stadium series, and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the Fire type has been associated with the color red.
- Also, the Cool condition uses the same shade of orange in its status screen icon as the Fire type's icon does, despite being described as red in-text.
- Similar to Ice-type moves, all Fire-type moves were Beautiful moves in Generation III.
- Generation III is the only generation so far not to have introduced a Fire-type move with the word "Fire" in its name.
- The Fire type is able to deal the highest type-based multiplier. This is possible in harsh sunlight against a Bug/Steel-type or Ice/Steel-type Pokémon with Fluffy that has been affected by Forest's Curse. This would result in a 24× multiplier.
- The effects of Flash Fire and Blaze can further boost this to a 36× power multiplier.
- It can also achieve the lowest non-zero type-based multiplier. This is possible in rain against a dual-type Pokémon whose both types resist Fire-type attacks, with Thick Fat or Heatproof while Water Sport is in effect. This would result in a 0.02065× multiplier.
