Flash Fire doesn't work when frozen, should that be noted? [[User talk:Nyktos|Nyktos]] 01:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
The "Burned" thing has to be confirmed. Will-o-Wisp makes sense, since it's a fire move, but Google says that Flame Orb doesn't activate this, and Tri-Attack needs to be checked. In fact, Will-o-Wisp shouldn't even burn the target, since it's immune. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 03:59, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


What about being burned by using a contact move on a Pokémon who has Flame Body?[[User:Laoris|Laoris]] 14:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess the answer is "no" because of the "only when from Fire-type move" section, but does Flash Fire's power increase activate from the returned ''BRN'' of a foe Pokémon with [[Synchronize]] who has been inflicted the status? (from a Fire-type move) -- --[[User:Solovino|Solovino]] 22:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

So by exactly how much does Flash Fire "Powers up Fire-type moves if hit by a Fire move" Is it 1.5x, or what?

:From my guess, it's x1.5, from {{a|Overgrow}}'s {{tt|description|Powers up Grass-type moves from Generation IV onward}} and article. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 15:56, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

So sorry to re-ask this, but it seems no one has looked into it. So by exactly how much does Flash Fire "Powers up Fire-type moves if hit by a Fire move" Is it 1.5x, or what?

:That's what I was thinking.  All of the Pokémon with Flash fire are Fire-type, and aren't Fire-type Pokémon immune to burns? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 14:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
::Please don't put your comment in the middle of a discussion that's more than three years old. In answer to your question, yes Fire-type Pokémon are immune to burns. However non-Fire-types can have this ability temporarily through the use of Skill Swap or Trace. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 20:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

== Fire Immunity removed? ==

Is the immunity to Fire-type moves removed when the Pokémon is hit while frozen in Gens III and IV?

== Fire boost question ==

I got a little question here. After taking in a Fire-type move and getting the boost to Fire-type moves, is the boost lost when Flash Fire is switched (Skill Swap, Entrainment, Houndoom's Mega Evolution, etc) or suppressed (Gastro Acid)? I couldn't see it mentioned on this article... '''''<font color="#705898"><sub>[[Shadow Sneak (move)|Sneaking]] from page to page...

== How does the encounter work? ==

Hello. I have a question about how these 50% spawns work.
Suppose I want to find a Turtonator. It normally has a 2% Spawn Rate. However, it is on a Route with 25% Coalossal encounter, another Fire type Pokemon. What is the odds, with and without Flash Fire, that Turtonator can be found?
If Flash Fire ignores all non-Fire Pokemon odds, then Turtonator should spawn about 4.7% of the time; the average of the natural 2% and the 2/27 between itself and Coalossal.
[[User:LocalMaple|LocalMaple]] ([[User talk:LocalMaple|talk]]) 23:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Response: I cannot give you the numbers, but I am certain it is higher than 4.7%. I used this method to catch turtonator when I was looking for it and in some 20 encounters probably saw 5 turtonators. I could not figure out what the formula was though. That was also not my goal. I'd love someone to figure out the math.--[[User:NoJuice|NoJuice]] ([[User talk:NoJuice|talk]]) 04:06, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
