Every trainer loves Fire-Type Pokémon especially if they chase after the strongest creatures in the world. Fire-Types are one of the types that every fan can remember because they’re so prevalent in the series thanks to the starter Pokémon and their amazing attack power.
This list will discuss 10 facts about the well-known Fire-Types that players never got the chance to learn about. From Charmander’s flame to the tallest Fire-Type here are 10 interesting facts about Fire-Types that fans never knew!
10 31 Fire-Type Moves
Fire-Types are known partly for their ferocious attacks that inflict burning damage onto their enemies. Players love Fire-Types mostly because of the strong attacks that are extra powerful towards Grass-Types!
There are only a total of 31 moves for Fire-Type creatures to use and although this number may sound low it is actually high compared to a lot of other types. Players should catch a fiery partner if they want a large move set at their disposal.
9 Tallest Fire-Type
The tallest and also the heaviest Fire-Type creature in the franchise is Primal Groudon. This should come as no surprise to fans because this advanced version of the legendary Hoenn Pokémon is extremely tough both in and outside of battle.
Players should catch this fire creature if they get the chance but also be cautious because it isn’t the nicest Pokémon around. Primal Groudon is such a large beast and few creatures in the Pokémon world are as big as this one is!
8 Highest Level Evolution
Larvesta evolves at the highest level out of every Fire-Type in the series. This powerful dual Fire/Bug-Type is known for its powerful move set that is strong against many different types of Pokémon.
Larvesta evolves at a high level of 59. This level is higher than most Pokémon evolve so it’s definitely a tough one because no creature would take that long to evolve unless it was getting ready for a powerful new form.
7 Fire/Fighting-type Starters
This fact is only known by the most dedicated fans because it takes knowledge of Pokémon Typing to realize the pattern. Apparently the developers think that martial arts and flame attacks go together perfectly because most Fire-Type starters in the franchise have a secondary Typing of Fighting or at least physical components to their designs.
Blaziken, Infernape and Emboar all have the secondary Fighting-Type and the Alola and Galar Fire-Type starters don’t have the second type but they are both Pokémon that have powerful punching and kicking ability. Fans are unsure why this is but perhaps it will be a pattern forever and trainers seem to be ok with that.
6 Lowest Base Stats
Slugma is a slow fighter which is to be expected with a name like Slugma however it is also extremely weak compared to its Fire-Type friends. Its base stat total is only a tiny 150 which is ridiculously small.
Many trainers are looking for an easy Fire-Type creature to catch however perhaps its worth looking further because this Pokémon just isn’t worth the trouble at all. At least Slugma is cute to Slug lovers!
5 Charmander’s Tail
Charmander is a cute Fire-Type and a fan favorite because it was one of the first starters in the entire series. One thing that many fans don’t know is that if Charmander has its flame put out it will immediately be killed.
Trainers should be careful using this starter in battle with Water-Types because although its tail is unlikely to be extinguished it’s still a possibility. This is such a scary fact about such an adored creature!
4 Lightest Fire-Type
Sizzlipede is a tiny Pokémon and this is in part due to its secondary Bug-Type. However it also happens to be a very light Pokémon that will be easy to pick up for even the weakest trainers.
Although its weight could potentially be used as an advantage in battle, it is also a crutch because its opponents can easily slap it around the battlefield. Trainers should be careful using this Galar creature during high stakes battles.
3 Lowest Defense Of Any Fire-Type
Houndour has been regarded as a cutie by many canine lovers however it also happens to be extremely susceptible to powerful attacks. Its base defense is only 30 so anything that has a type advantage against it will quickly destroy its HP.
Luckily Houndoor evolves into the more powerful Houndoom and it will surely take revenge on any Pokémonthat may have bullied it in its previous form. Trainers should still want to catch a Houndour so they can get its terrifying evolution Houndoom!
2 Most HP For Any Fire-Type
The legendary dog Pokémon Entei has the highest HP out of every single Fire-Type and it also rivals other high HP Pokémon for having almost the largest HP stat in the franchise. Fans might expect the highest HP stat to go to Primal Groudon but apparently it doesn’t.
Entei is such a majestic beast and many Johto trainers chase after it trying to catch it to use its legendary strength to become the best trainer in the land. This is one creature that every trainer would attempt to catch if giving the opportunity and its high HP only makes it more desirable.
1 The Fire-Type Has Beautiful Attacks
In Gen-III contests were introduced and every move in the Hoenn games was ranked by different adjectives. One of the rankings was beautiful and every single Fire-Type move in the generation was considered a beautiful attack.
This is an interesting fact that many players never knew because most fans didn’t take part in these competitions. It’s cool to know that Fire-Type moves are considered beautiful and most fans consider them to be pretty to look at as well. Flamethrower is basically eye candy!
