Fire-types are typically strong, intimidating, and physically dominating. However, their tallest members are surprisingly not as tall as some other types, notably Water-types or Grass-types. Nevertheless, Fire-types do have quite a few among their ranks that measure either surprisingly tall or terrifyingly large.

Among the list of tallest Fire-types are starters, Legendaries, and others. These large Pokémon are typically pretty scary, combined with the fact that they are so towering. If you’re looking for which Fire-types to avoid running into in your travels because of their dizzying presence, look to these ones for the tallest among them.

10 Blacephalon and Incineroar

Clocking in at a cool but notable 5'11" (1.8 m) is two different Pokémon from Generation VII. Fire-starter Incineroar and Ultra Beast Blacephalon both tie for the same spot on this list.

Incineroar is a bit surprising, as this wrestling-inspired bipedal cat seems to have a very large presence and might measure more than at least six feet (1.8 m). But, it is just shy. Joining it is the terrifying Ghost/Fire-type Blacephalon, which is capable of throwing its large head at a target, where it will then explode.

9 Camerupt, Blaziken, Mega Houndoom, and Arcanine

Joining Blacephalon and Incineroar is a group that makes up one of the other ties on this list. In this spot, there’s quite a few Pokémon who all measure around the same height: Camerupt, Mega Houndoom, Arcanine, and Blaziken both in its regular and Mega Evolved forms.

All of these Fire-types measure about 6'03" (1.9 m). The most surprising member of this group is probably Camerupt, which doesn’t seem tall but is apparently gargantuan compared to how it appears.

8 Turtonator and Moltres

One might imagine that Moltres, as a Legendary Bird that dominates the skies, would be very tall — and it is. But, surprisingly, it has some competition from another: Turtonator. Both of these Fire-types come in at an impressive 6'07" (2 m).

For what is basically a fiery chicken, this is very intimidating. For Turtonator, it’s probably easy to guess that it’s pretty big, but that’s still impressive for its height. Both are capable of some pretty devastating Fire-type attacks, so watch out for your eyebrows.

7 Totem Salazzle and Entei

For the final tie on this list, one can turn their attention to two very different but almost-equally powerful Pokémon. Salazzle, when given to the player in its Totem-size, and the Legendary Beast Entei, both clock in at a crazy 6'11" (2.1 m).

Entei is no surprise, considering it’s a large Legendary Beast. Salazzle, on the other hand, is terrifyingly tall when in its Totem-form, however. Capable of spitting fiery poison for offensive attacks, Salazzle is best avoided by anyone under its own height.

6 Mega Camerupt

Camerupt, which probably surprised some by being on this list, returns for this spot in its Mega Evolved form. After undergoing its Mega Evolution, Camerupt grows an impressive two feet (about 60 cm), now clocking in at a whopping 8'02" (2.5 m). As a walking, breathing volcano, this is a pretty terrifying force to come across.

This Pokémon is capable of showering the surrounding area with molten lava, meaning you won’t want to be around when this literally mountainous Pokémon gets angry.

5 Coalossal

Coalossal’s name is a very obvious pun on the word “colossal,” and it’s very fitting, because this Pokémon is just that. Standing 9'02" (2.8 m) and weighing 684.5 lbs (310.5 kg), this Rock/Fire-type is a force to be reckoned with.

The Pokédex literally states that it “incinerates” those who vandalize mines. The flames that it apparently uses to do this measure 2,700 degrees Farenheit (1,500 degrees Celsius).

4 Centiskorch

Sticking in Generation VIII for a minute after Coalossal brings us to another Fire-type from the Galar region. Centiskorch, the evolved form of Sizzlipede, is a Bug/Fire-type that is extremely tall. The “height” here may be its length, but it’s still impressive, measuring 9'10" (3 m).

Able to reach an internal body temperature of 1,500 degrees Farenheit (800 degrees Celsius), Centiskorch uses its own body like a whip against its enemies. That’s one hot lash.

3 Reshiram

It’s no surprise that many of the largest and tallest Pokémon, regardless of their typing, are Legendaries. These (often ancient) behemoths are meant to be large, powerful, and dominating creatures that rule various aspects of the world and reality.

So, it’s not shocking to see a Pokémon like Reshiram on this list. This Fire/Dragon mascot Legendary from Generation V stands at 10'06" (3.2 m), and has the ability to control weather with the heat from its tail. Watch out!

2 Ho-oh

In Ecruteak City in Johto, there were once two large towers that loomed over the land. Atop these towers perched two Legendary bird Pokémon: Ho-oh and Lugia. One day, Lugia’s perch tower burned to the ground, and it fled to live in the Whirl Islands. Ho-oh also took flight, and now searches the land looking for a pure-hearted trainer.

Now, imagine the birds perched atop those towers are gigantic. Ho-oh measures 12'06" (3.8 m) in height. Imagine that wingspan!

1 Primal Groudon

The final spot on this list keeps the trend of Legendary Pokémon going with Groudon after it has undergone Primal Reversion. Original Groudon is already tall at 11'06" (3.5 m) but is not a Fire-type. Primal Groudon, however, is a Ground/Fire-type that measures a whopping 16'05" (5 m).

This giant behemoth controls land creation and is almost as tall as some of the tallest giraffes. This is one ancient creature you don’t want to cross.
