Fire Fang (Japanese: ほのおのキバ Flame Fang) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation IV. It was TM68 in Pokémon Sword and Shield. It is TM08 in Generation IX.

It can be thought of as a counterpart to Ice Fang and Thunder Fang, having similar names and effects.

Effect

Generation IV

Fire Fang deals damage and has a 10% chance of burning the opponent. It also has an independent 10% chance of causing the target to flinch, if the user attacks before the target.

Due to a programming error, Fire Fang is always able to hit through Wonder Guard, even if the target does not have a weakness to Fire-type moves.

Generation V onwards

Fire Fang no longer bypasses Wonder Guard.

Fire Fang is no longer affected by King's Rock.
