Blast Burn is a slightly inaccurate but very highly-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. For all intents and purposes, it is a Fire-type Hyper Beam.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, an elderly woman on Cape Brink will teach Charizard Blast Burn. Like Hydro Cannon and Frenzy Plant, the Pokémon must have a very high happiness rating.

Another way to get the move would be to clear the Mt. Battle challenge in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, then choose Cyndaquil as the prize.

Trivia

• Smeargle is the only Pokémon that is not a Template:Type2 starter Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn, due to Sketch.
• Mew, though repeatedly said on the Pokédex to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Blast Burn because it can only be taught to Fire-type starter Pokémon.
