Characteristics

Fire is a very poor type defensively. Ground, Rock, and Water moves are all very common, while most of the Fire-type's resistances are of little use. Fire-type Pokémon will not survive very long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile.

Offensively, Fire is much more useful. The ability to deal super effective damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in physical moves, as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high Defense but a low Special Defense and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more.

Quantity-wise Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among them, of which there are four legendaries and four starter Pokémon. So technically, only 9 Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with Hoenn and Sinnoh's Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto dex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time).

Trivia

  • Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't are new in Generation IV, meaning that in Hoenn Contests, all Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
  • There is yet to be a Fire-type with a secondary type that nullifies its Water weakness.
  • All Fire-types are resistant or immune to Fire-type moves, unless one considers Heathran that loses its trait.
  • It is interesting to note that in the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used underwater, as well as Fire-types like Charmander being able to battle underwater, when it says Charmander dies if its flame goes out.
