Fire Fang (move)

Fire Fang is in need of spading. See its section on the spading page for more information, and how you can help. Does Fire Fang bypass Wonder Guard in Platinum?

Fire Fang (Japanese: ほのおのキバ Fire Fang) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV that may cause burn and flinching.

Effect

Fire Fang deals damage and has a 10% chance of burning the opponent. It also has a 10% chance of causing the target to flinch, if the user attacks before the target. It will bypass Wonder Guard, even if it is on a Pokémon that does not have a weakness to Fire-type moves (e.g. a Porygon2 that used Trace on a Shedinja). This does not apply to Ice Fang and Thunder Fang, however.

Trivia

• Because Fire Fang can bypass Wonder Guard, many keep at least one Pokémon with the move on them while they are battling on the internet so they can counter hackers who put Wonder Guard on all of their Pokémon.
