Capture only the best fire-type Pokemons in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet with the help of this convenient listicle.
Despite the fact that both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are two different games, finding the best fire-type Pokemons in the games isn’t that complicated. All credit goes to the majorly similar Pokedex that both these games have. However, this wasn’t an easy list to prepare. We love all Pokemons just the same, but we had to pick our favorites based on the best overall stats that each of these Fire-type Pokemons have.
KINDLY NOTE that the list we are about to present you with contains the writer’s subjective opinion and is not ranked in any way.
1. Iron Moth
Long-term Pokemon fans can appreciate Iron Moth if they are used to loving Volcarona. Both are fire-type bugs who even look similar. While the name is different, they might have similar stats as well. Iron Moth is a great Fire-type because it also is a Poison-type Pokemon and only has one weakness, and that is Ground. While we don’t have much personal experience with Iron Moth, we found that this Pokemon’s best Fire-type STAB move is Fiery Dance, which allows it to maintain its offense effectively.
2. Chi-Yu
We have all sorts of unique picks for this list. After a bug, we now have a Dark/Fire-type fish Pokemon. Chi-Yu not being primarily a Water-type is hilarious in an ironic way. However, you will stop laughing when you realize that this adorable fellow can deliver some Special Attacks and also has the Beads of Ruin ability to reduce his opponent’s Special Defense by a full quarter. You can switch between Fire and Dark type Abilities based on your needs. He is on the list for being a versatile Fire-type who can help out with enemies effectively.
3. Skeledirge
This one is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon who happens to be a reptile. He has a 110 Special Attack that can enhance his Torch Song ability to deal decent damage. He is not bad at all but is surely not the best Fire-type out there either if you don’t like Ghost-type Pokemons. While we may have our biases, we don’t believe he is the best option on the list. However, if you’re searching for the top choice in the Fire-type category, let us tell you that he has Fire Blast and Overheat attacks, which have power levels of 110 and 130, respectively.
4. Chandelure
As part of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Teal Mask DLC. Chandelure brings impressive stats to the table, and he might also be good in many team comps because he appears to be pretty versatile. You first have to catch a Litwich, evolve it into Lampent, and then evolve it into the Special Attack all-star Chandelure. You can use the Dusk Stone to get this done and then use Chandelure in your matches to fully tap into its power.
5. Volcarona
See? We weren’t lying when we said that Iron Moth looks a lot like Volcarona. He has a 550 base stat and 135 Special Attack. He has an impressive Leech Seed ability. What is better about this ability is that it is not usually seen in non-Grass-type Pokemons. The main weakness to look out for in Volcarona is Rock-type opponents because they can knock him out almost instantly.
6. Ceruledge
Ceruledge is one of the most stylish-looking Pokemons out of all the Fire-types in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, this is not the reason why he is on the list. As a Fire/Ghost hybrid, he is definitely a fun Pokemon to have. This can also be a drawback if you personally don’t prefer a Ghost-type in general. Ceruledge can use Flare Blitz, Shadow Claw, Swords Dance, and Close Combat to ensure that its enemies get a taste of defeat quickly. It won’t always be easy to make quick work of enemies with this one since he is not so heavily dependent on his Fire abilities. But you can surely have fun with the new combos.
7. Armarouge
We will close the list off with another intimidating-looking Pokemon. Armarouge has overall stats that can ensure that he maintains his position on the list of the best Fire-types. Unfortunately, he is weak against many types, including Ground, Rock, Water, Dark, and Ghost. However, the best part about him is that he is pretty resistant to the other seven remaining types. It also has a base stat total of 525, which is not bad to have at all.
