An elderly man, much like the woman on Cape Brink, appears on Route 228 in the Battle Zone, and will teach it to the three fully evolved Template:Type2 starters of the previous generations, as well as Infernape. He will also require that the Pokémon that is to learn the move has a high happiness rating.

Trivia

• Smeargle is the only Pokémon that is not a Template:Type2 starter Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn, due to Sketch.
• Mew, though repeatedly said on the Pokédex to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Blast Burn because the tutors only want to teach it to Fire-type starter Pokémon.
• Blast Burn is the only Hyper Beam variation that has not appeared in the anime as of Challenging a Towering Figure!.
