Sacred Fire (Japanese: せいなるほのお Sacred Fire) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation II. It is Ho-Oh's signature move. Unlike most moves that can cause status problems, this move has a 50% chance of burning the opponent, as opposed to the usual 10%-30%.

Trivia

  • Despite Sacred Fire's change to Physical damage, its animation in DPPt still resembles that of a Special Attack.
  • Ho-Oh learns this move at level 1 in Generation II. However, in Generation III, it learns this move at the high level of 77. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this move is learned at an even higher level, 85.
