Fire Pledge (Japanese: ほのおのちかい Fire Oath) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Fire Pledge inflicts regular damage, with double damage and an additional effect when combined with Grass Pledge or Water Pledge in Double and Triple Battles. The combined move is used by the Pokémon that moved second.
If it and Grass Pledge are used in the same turn, it will inflict damage at double the power, then will create a sea of fire on the side of the field of the target of the combined move for four turns. The sea of fire damages all non-Fire-type Pokémon on that side of the field for 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn; this effect is negated if it is raining.
If it and Water Pledge are used in the same turn, it will come out as Water Pledge, inflict damage at double the power, then create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability of secondary effects taking place on that side of the field; this effect does not stack with Serene Grace.
If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g. paralysis, Sky Drop, etc.), no move will be executed.
Similar to Grass Pledge and Water Pledge, Fire Pledge is unaffected by a held Fire Gem (and will not consume it).
Generation VI
Same as Generation V, however, the base power has increased from 50 to 80. In addition, Fire Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.
