Flash Fire (Japanese: もらいび Received Fire) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Eighteen Pokémon can have this Ability, all of which are Fire types.
Effect
In battle
Flash Fire makes the Pokémon immune to Fire-type moves and will activate when hit by one. When activated, the power of the Pokémon's Fire-type moves is increased by 1.5×. While subsequent hits by Fire-type moves will not provide further increase in power, the Pokémon remains immune to their effects.
Flash Fire will not activate if the Pokémon is protected from the Fire-type move.
Generations III and IV
Flash Fire will not work while the user is frozen.
Generation V
Flash Fire is active even if the user is frozen.
Outside of battle
Flash Fire has no effect outside of battle.
