I suppose I can limit its damage by giving it either low accuracy or Low PP.


Blistering Flare.......hmmmm.........not bad. Not bad at all.

Blisterinf Flare sounds awesome!! IBut if it causes damage and burn 100%, i would give it a pretty low POW and around 80% Accuracy

As for what to base a new Fire-Pokemon on, i would suggest a Kangaroo!! Maybe make it a FIre/Fighting type thats NOT a starter...

Blistering Flare sounds pretty cool. I'd make it like Dynamicpunch, 100 power, 50 accuracy.

A kangaroo Fire-type Pokémon would be interesting, but I'm pretty worn on Fire/Fighting. I'm a Blaziken purist :P

I'd really like to see a Bug/Fire-type mantis Pokémon, that sounds really cool.

I want a Fire/Poison-type that's some kind of explosive gas...not exactly sure how to do it, but it seems like a cool concept.

I really like that idea for Blistering Flame! Would make it a high risk high reward move.

Haha yeah me too as you can tell by my avatar, i just think it would be cool to get a Pokemon with that type thats not a starter for once xD

Ahh, I love Volcarona. <3 It's very easy to utilize. After one Quiver or Feiry Dance, it should be able to start sweeping immediately. Plus, thanks to its Flame Body ability, it has a great chance of crippling physical attackers down as soon as they touch it.

People who don't like volcarona are pretty rare.

Yeah, I know. It is four-times effective against rock-types, though, if I'm not mistaken, so you'd have to be sort of careful when battling them. It also gets majorly damaged if Stealth Rock is set up on your side of the field, which, y'know, is a pretty big disadvantage. :(

Volcarona is a very interesting creature. I love it's typing though, but I've never used one. I caught the one in Black 2 and it's sitting in my box on X, I think I'm gonna take it out and train it up a bit.

That's why Pokemon Z needs a giga drain TM, so many things that get giga drain only with the trainer in gen5 need it even more in gen6.

Yeah, I was looking it up and saw that it learned Giga Drain only through tutor in Gen V and was like "...whyyyyyyyy?!" Guess I should've waited to transfer it :/

Name: Superstrength79
Pick two Fire-type Partner Pokémon: Volcarona, Mega-Charizard X
Reason(s) for liking Fire-types: Not too many Fire-type Pokemon exist; always a solid starter choice.
If you could create a Fire-type pokemon, what would it be based on? If I were to make a new, Fire-type Pokemon, it would be a new starter. I like the idea of starters gaining an extra type at their final evolution stage, so I think a Fire/Grass would be neat (I was thinking about starters that each evolve into their counterpart they are strong against). Not sure what animal it would be based on, but I was thinking it could embody the essence of rebirth (kind of like Xerneas or a Phoenix). Gaining the Grass-type at the final evolution stage could mean it's ready to perform some life-task. Signature move would be some kind of exploding acorns. On second-thought... maybe this Pokemon should start as a Grass starter, and finally gain the Fire-type :)

x2 effective: Rock, Poison, Flying

1/2 effective: Electric, Steel, Fairy

1/4 effective: Grass

Bonus answers:
Volcarona (named Nova) was the first Fire-type Pokemon that I hatched via Masuda Method... it was also completely on accident! I was trying to get better IVs and wondered why the heck "this one" was yellow. Nova has 4 of 6 IVs, Timid, and eggs moves so she's still really good.

I love black dragons, so that's why my second partner is Mega Charizard-X

Hey, I know you! :P Welcome! I'd definitely like to see a Fire/Grass-type, but I think it'd be a bit contradicting as a starter. Also, Mega Charizard X is awesome, no doubt about it.

I was thinking of the starter being very plant-like (similar to Lileep). It's buds hold the Fire-power (a-thank-you) for attacks, and evolves to gain Fire-type at 3rd evolve stage. Starters tend to be cutesy though.... perhaps it could be a tree/cactus-dwelling critter.

Maybe, but there are a lot of starters that seem rehashed. How many Fire/Fight starters have there been now? My idea probably would make a decent 2-step evolution Pokemon. It sort of needs to start as Grass, then pick up Fire when it evolves.

Starters make for good candidates of type-testing though, since they usually have decent stat pools to make up for any "weak" pairings (looking at you Chesnaught).

As a starter I was thinking:

Stage 1: Fire
Stage 2: Fire
Stage 3: Fire/Grass

Or flipped around the other way to make more sense... but this is the Fire-type love thread :)

That's actually a really great idea. If it were to happen, though, don't you think it'd take some value away from the actual fire-type starter? xD;; Because of this, I think it would be better if this were a non-starter.
Nail on the head. No matter which way you switch the types, it limits the starter of the other type and I don't think it's a great idea. It would be a good Pokémon though. If you want a starter with a second type that is new or hasn't been done much before, I'd do it with Poison or Bug, which have 0 or 1 Pokémon line, respectively.

Whenever i think of what a possible fire/grass Pokemon would look like, i picture the piranha plants from Mario being in a Pokemon game xD
Now there's an interesting one, that would give Mario fans a laugh for sure. That's pretty cool though.

I must have been unclear. I was hoping it would be part of a cycle for a certain generation. Each starter grows into the type it is strong against (or weak against if that works out better for design).

Fire > Fire/Grass
Water > Water/Fire
Grass > Grass/Water

or

Fire > Fire/Water (maybe it could be a bottle of Gin? hehe don't throw stones at me!)
Water > Water/Grass
Grass > Grass/Fire

Either way you look at it, Fire/Grass needs to happen :)
