Heat Crash (Japanese: ヒートスタンプ Heat Stamp) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation V. It is the signature move of Tepig's evolutionary line.

Effect

Generation V

Heat Crash does damage in base depending on the weight of both the user and the target; when the user is heavier than the target, more damage is inflicted. The damage can be calculated in this form:

• 120 base power, if target's weight is lower or equal to ⅕ (20%) of user's weight.
• 100 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅕ (20%) of user's weight and lower or equal to ¼ (25%) of user's weight.
• 80 base power, if target's weight is greater than ¼ (25%) of user's weight and lower or equal to ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight.
• 60 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight and lower or equal to ½ of user's weight (50%).
• 40 base power, if target's weight is greater than ½ (50%) of user's weight.

Since Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar will always have constant weights, one can find out which weight classes will receive how much base damage.

For the species Emboar as an example:

Target's Weight	Power
0 – 30 kg (0 - 66.14 lb)	120
30 - 37.5 kg (66.14 - 82.7 lb)	100
37.5 – 50 kg (82.7 - 110.1 lb)	80
50 – 75 kg (110.1 - 165.4 lb)	60
75 kg or more (165.4 lb or more)	40

Generation VI

If the target has used Minimize, Heat Crash will now never miss and deal double the damage.
