Blaze (Japanese: もうか Raging Flames) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. All Fire-type starter Pokémon have this Ability and all Pokémon that have this Ability are Fire types.

Effect

In battle

Generations III to IV

When a Pokémon with Blaze uses a Fire-type move, the move's power will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.

Generations V onwards

Instead of boosting Fire-type moves' power, Blaze now technically boosts the Pokémon's Attack or Special Attack by 50% during damage calculation if a Fire-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.

Outside of battle

Blaze has no effect outside of battle.
