The Fire | The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Water}} moves are all very common, while most of the Fire type's resistances are of little use. Most Fire-type Pokémon will not survive too long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a glass cannon; a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile. The biggest flaw Fire types have is that all Fire-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Water}}, with the exception of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Reshiram}}, which is a dual {{t|Dragon}}/Fire type. | ||
However, not only does the Fire type have five resistances, among them being a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Ice}}, but it is also immune to {{status|burn}}s, making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers. Also, most Fire types can at least learn {{m|SolarBeam}} to counter all three of the type's weaknesses. | However, not only does the Fire type have five resistances, among them being a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Ice}}, but it is also immune to {{status|burn}}s, making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers.
