Fire
Fire
types usually have high Attack and good Special. They are not often seen
in advance play due to their weakness to Water, the most common element,
and their mediocre moves and stats.

Flamethrower,
95 power, 99.6% accuracy, 9.8% chance to burn
A
good attack. With STAB, it can be a more reliable alternative to Fire
Blast, due to better accuracy and more PP.
Fire
Blast, 120 power, 84.4% accuracy, 29.7% chance to burn
More
powerful than Flamethrower, but less reliable. Recommended on Pokémon
with little staying power, such as Magmar.
Fire
Pokémon
Arcanine
Good
Speed, high HP and great Attack, but fairly crappy Defense and Special.
Oh, and he's a cute doggy. Arguably the best Fire type.
Type: Fire
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 383
Attack: 318
Defense: 258
Speed: 288
Special: 258
Movesets:
Reflect/Body Slam/Fire Blast/Hyper Beam
Relflect to boost the pitiful Defense, Body Slam for the chance to
paralyze, Fire Blast for STAB, and Hyper Beam as a finisher.
Alternatively, use Double-Edge instead of Body Slam and/or Dig over
Hyper Beam.
Flareon
Brilliant
Attack and Special, spoilt somewhat by average HP, crappy Defense and
Speed. It's Attack doesn't really mean much when it doesn't get STAB for
any physical moves. Still, it looks cool, and I like it.
Type: Fire
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 333
Attack: 358
Defense: 218
Speed: 228
Special: 318
Movesets:
Focus Energy/Body Slam/Fire Blast/Hyper Beam
Focus Energy to crank up the critical hits, and Hyper Beam as the
finisher.
Reflect/Double-Edge/Flamethrower/Hyper Beam
More of the same.
Moltres
All-round
good stats, particularly Special, but one of the worst moves lists in
existence.
Type: Fire/Flying
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 383
Attack: 298
Defense: 278
Speed: 278
Special: 348
Movesets:
Double Team/Rest/Fire Blast/Sky Attack
With maximum evade, the turn used to power up Sky Attack becomes
inconsequential.
Double-Edge/Hyper Beam/Fire Blast/Fly
Devastating all-out offense.
Ninetales
Great
Speed and Special and the ability to learn some very useful moves, most
notably Confuse Ray.
Type: Fire
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 349
Attack: 250
Defense: 248
Speed: 298
Special: 298
Movesets:
Confuse Ray/Reflect/Body Slam/Fire Blast
Confuse Ray and Reflect give Ninetales some much-needed
survivability.
Double Team/Rest/Flamethrower/Dig
Double Resting variant.
Charizard
A
Pokémon very popular amongst newbies, only its Speed stands out. But
hey, it looks awesome in the anime.
Type: Fire/Flying
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 359
Attack: 266
Defense: 254
Speed: 298
Special: 268
Movesets:
Reflect/Slash/Earthquake/Fire Blast
My preffered moveset.
Double Team/Rest/Swords Dance/Swift
Swift Dancer. It's often pointed out that this moveset is too risky for
Charizard, because it is.
Double Team/Rest/Counter/Flamethrower
A very odd set, this. It's designed to directly fight the standard Swift
Dancing Mew (Swords Dance/Swift/Earthquake/Softboiled). Double Rest
makes the enemy switch Mew in. Earthquake can't hit Flying types, so
they'll use Swift. Charizard should survive it in time to Counter, and
blam! Dead Mew. Being the only Fying type to learn Counter, Charizard is
the only monster who can use this strategy. But can you get Charizard
set up without it dying? Probably not.
Magmar
Good
Attack and Speed, plus the ability to learn Confuse Ray.
Type: Fire
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 333
Attack: 288
Defense: 212
Speed: 284
Special: 268
Movesets:
Confuse Ray/Body Slam/Fire Blast/Seismic Toss
If Body Slam paralyzes, it could be very annoying when combined with
Confuse Ray. Fire Blast gets STAB. Seismic Toss is really just a filler
move.
Confuse Ray/Body Slam/Fire Blast/Psychic
More of the same, but with added Psychic.
Rapidash
High
Attack and great Speed. Every other stat is average at best. Also, poor
moves compatability. Rapidash can still be fun to use, although it is
the worst Fire type.
Type: Fire
Max stats at Level 100
HP: 333
Attack: 298
Defense: 238
Speed: 308
Special: 258
Movesets:
Reflect/Body Slam/Hyper Beam/Fire Blast
The same as the standard Flareon.
Agility/Body Slam/Horn Drill/Fire Blast
With the boosted speed from Agility, and the possibility of the enemy
being paralyzed by Body Slam, Horn Drill's effectiveness rises. Fire
Blast is again there for the STAB, and because Rapidash can't learn
Flamethrower.
