In other games

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Pyro Ball is Cinderace's first move. It is obtained by evolving from Raboot at level 7 and upgrading Ember into it instead of Blaze Kick. The user kicks a ball of flame in a designated direction, burning and damaging enemies hit. At level 11, after this move hits, the cooldown on user's other move is decreased.
