The Fire type (Japanese: ほのおタイプ Flame type) is one of the eighteen types. Fire-type moves are super effective against Bug-, Grass-, Ice-, and Steel-type Pokémon, while Fire-type Pokémon are weak to Ground-, Rock-, and Water-type moves.

Additional effects

In Generation I, Fire-type Pokémon cannot get inflicted by the burn status condition by Fire-type moves. In Generation II, Fire-type Pokémon cannot get burned by Fire-type moves, but can get burned by the Normal-type move Tri Attack. Starting in Generation III, Fire-type Pokémon are completely immune to getting burned by any means. Fire-type Pokémon are also immune to the sea of fire caused by Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge, both introduced in Generation V.

During harsh sunlight (introduced in Generation II) or extremely harsh sunlight (introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), the power of Fire-type moves is increased by 50%. During rain (introduced in Generation II), the power of Fire-type moves is decreased by 50%. During heavy rain (introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), all Fire-type moves will fail. When the move Water Sport (introduced in Generation III) is in effect, the power of Fire-type moves is decreased by 67%.

If a Pokémon affected by the move Powder (introduced in Generation VI) attempts to use a Fire-type move, they take damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP and cannot execute the move (PP is still consumed).

Only Fire-type Pokémon can use the move Burn Up (introduced in Generation VII), after which the user will no longer be Fire-type.

Pokémon

As of Generation IX, 87 Pokémon or 8.49% of all Pokémon are Fire-type (counting those that are Fire-type in at least one of their forms, including Primal Reversion and regional forms), causing it to tie with Poison as the 8th most common type among Pokémon after Bug and before Dark and Fighting.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed.

Trivia

  • Generation V introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 17 (including Heat Rotom and Zen Mode Darmanitan), 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, Mystical Fire.
    • The Fire type, tied with the Dragon type, also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only three.
  • 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 most core series Pokémon games since Generation III, the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in 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. The Fire type is also associated with the color red in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
    • 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.
  • According to the Pokédex, the hottest Pokémon are Magcargo and Camerupt, both of which can reach internal temperatures of 18,000 °F (10,000 °C). Incidentally, both Pokémon can also have the Ability Magma Armor.
  • Similar to Ice-type moves, all Fire-type moves were Beautiful moves in Generation III.
  • Generation II is the only generation to have not introduced a Fire-type specialist.
  • The Fire type is able to deal the highest type-based multiplier. This is possible in harsh sunlight against a dual-type, non-Grass-type Pokémon with Fluffy whose both types are weak to Fire-type attacks, and that has been affected by Forest's Curse and Tar Shot. This would result in a 48× multiplier.
    • The effects of Flash Fire and Blaze can further boost this to a 72× 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, Heatproof, or Water Bubble while Water Sport is in effect. This would result in a 0.02065× (~1/48) multiplier.
  • In every Egg Group containing a Fire-type Pokémon, there are at least two Fire-type evolutionary lines. Fire is the only type with this distinction.
  • The Fire-type has been paired with every type except Fairy.
    • This makes it the only first partner Pokémon type not to have been paired with every other type at least once.
  • The Fire type is the only type without a Pokémon in the Water 1 Egg Group.
