However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], [[Pokémon Stadium]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-type Pokémon) are placed in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Red}} color category, as no orange category exists. | ||

* Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras|Paras}} {{p|Parasect|family}}'s double weakness to fire paired with their ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}, which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves. | * Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage.
