Fire type abilities
Fire-type Pokémon possess a range of abilities that complement their fiery nature and enhance their effectiveness in battles. Here’s a more detailed look at some of these abilities:
Blaze: This ability increases the power of Fire-type moves by 50% when the Pokémon’s HP falls below one-third of its maximum.
Flash Fire: Pokémon with Flash Fire become immune to Fire-type moves, and when hit by one, their Fire-type moves’ power is boosted by 50%.
Flame Body: Pokémon with Flame Body have a 30% chance of burning opponents when they make physical contact with them. This ability is useful for wearing down opponents over time.
Drought: Drought automatically summons intense sunlight when the Pokémon enters battle. This harsh sunlight boosts the power of Fire-type moves and weakens Water-type moves.
Flame Charge: When a Pokémon with Flame Charge uses a Fire-type move, its Speed stat increases by one stage. This can help Fire-type Pokémon outspeed opponents and gain momentum in battles.
White Smoke: Pokémon with White Smoke are immune to having their stats lowered by opponents’ moves, ensuring they maintain their strength throughout battles.
Turboblaze: Turboblaze allows the Pokémon’s moves to bypass the abilities of opposing Pokémon. This means that even abilities that would normally protect against Fire-type moves are ignored.
These abilities provide Fire-type Pokémon with a strategic edge in battles, allowing them to capitalize on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses effectively.
