Characteristics

Defense

Very few Fire-type Pokémon have a secondary type that negates their weakness to Water-type attacks. On the other hand, most Fire types can learn Solar Beam to counter all three of the type's weaknesses. Fire has six resistances, the second most of any type after the Steel-type. Five of these resistances are shared with Steel, making Fire/Steel the type combination with the most double resistances.

The Fire type grants immunity to burns and the sea of fire caused by Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge.

Offense

During harsh sunlight or extremely harsh sunlight, the power of Fire-type attacks is increased by 50%. The power of Fire-type attacks is decreased by 50% during rain, while all Fire-type moves will fail during heavy rain. When Water Sport is in effect, the power of Fire-type moves is decreased by 67%. When used under the effect of Powder, Fire attacks will damage the user by 1/4 of its max HP instead of executing normally.

Fire is super effective against Steel, the type with the most defensive coverage. Because Fire is super effective against Grass and Bug, it combines well with Ground-type attacks.

The Fire type enables the use of Burn Up, though Burn Up removes the user's Fire type.

Contest properties

In Contests, Fire-type moves are typically Beautiful moves.

Pokémon

As of Generation IX, there are 87 Fire-type Pokémon or 8.51% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Fire-type in at least one of their forms, including Primal Reversion and regional forms), causing it to tie with Poison as the 8th most common type after Bug and before Dark and Fighting.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed.

Moves

As of Generation IX, there are 47 Fire-type moves, or 5.15% of all moves (excluding those that are Fire-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with Electric as the 6th most common type among moves, after Water and Dark and before Steel.

Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Fire-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack.

A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Fire-type Pokémon if it uses a Fire-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Forecast, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Fire-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Fire-type move, is sent out against a Fire-type opponent, if the weather is sunny, if it is holding a Fire Memory, or if it is holding a Flame Plate or Firium Z.

Fire-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming burned from the Abilities Flame Body or Synchronize.

In the TCG

Main article: Fire (TCG)

Similar to the games, Fire-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Water with no resistances. Fire-type Pokémon are strong against Grass and Metal Pokémon, whilst some Colorless Pokémon can resist this type.

Trivia

• Generation V introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 17 (including Heat Rotom and Zen Mode Darmanitan), and Generation IV introduced the fewest, with five.
• Generation V introduced the most Fire-type moves of any generation, with 11, and Generation VI introduced the fewest, with only one, Mystical Fire.
  • The Fire type, tied with the Dragon type, also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only two.
• Fire was the last type to receive a Pokémon with Water as the other type, only receiving one with Volcanion in Generation VI.
• In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are only two evolutionary lines of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the Chimchar and Ponyta evolutionary lines). In Pokémon Platinum, this was changed with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the Houndour and Magmar families, as well as Flareon.
• In most core series Pokémon games since Generation III, the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in other Pokémon media, including the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Pokémon Stadium series, and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the Fire type has been associated with the color red. The Fire type is also associated with the color red in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
  • Also, the Cool condition uses the same shade of orange in its status screen icon as the Fire type's icon does, despite being described as red in-text.
• According to the Pokédex, the hottest Pokémon are Magcargo and Camerupt, both of which can reach internal temperatures of 18,000 °F (10,000 °C). Incidentally, both Pokémon can also have the Ability Magma Armor.
• Similar to Ice-type moves, all Fire-type moves were Beautiful moves in Generation III.
• Generation II is the only generation to have not introduced a Fire-type specialist.
• The Fire type is able to deal the highest type-based multiplier. This is possible in harsh sunlight against a dual-type, non-Grass-type Pokémon with Fluffy whose both types are weak to Fire-type attacks, and that has been affected by Forest's Curse and Tar Shot. This would result in a 48× multiplier.
  • The effects of Flash Fire and Blaze can further boost this to a 72× power multiplier.
  • It can also achieve the lowest non-zero type-based multiplier. This is possible in rain against a dual-type Pokémon whose both types resist Fire-type attacks, with Thick Fat, Heatproof, or Water Bubble while Water Sport is in effect. This would result in a 0.02065× (~1/48) multiplier.
• In every Egg Group containing a Fire-type Pokémon, there are at least two Fire-type evolutionary lines. Fire is the only type with this distinction.
• The Fire-type has been paired with every type except Fairy.
  • This makes it the only starter type not to have been paired with every other type at least once.
• The Fire type is the only type without a Pokémon in the Water 1 Egg Group.
