Flame Body (Japanese: ほのおのからだ Flame Body) is an ability that burns the foe on contact. When pokemon with this ability are attacked by a physical move there is a 30% chance that the attacker will become burned. Five Pokémon have this ability. In Emerald as well as in Diamond and Pearl, this ability halves the number of steps it takes for an egg to hatch. In order for this to work, both the Pokémon with Flame Body and the egg must both be present in the party.
