In Pokémon UNITE, Fire Punch is Charizard's first move. It is obtained by evolving into Charmeleon at level 5 and upgrading Flame Burst into it instead of Flamethrower. The user punches forward, damaging and shoving enemies in their path. The first enemy hit is burned. The burn lasts 4s and reduces enemy Attack by 5%. At level 11 or higher, the move's cooldown is reduced by .25s every time the user damages an enemy with a basic attack.

Trivia

  • In some games, the Pokédex states that Emboar can "throw a fire punch". However, this was first said in Pokémon Black, while Emboar was unable to learn the move Fire Punch until Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
    • In the Japanese version of the Pokédex entries, the "fire punch" is written as 「ほのおの パンチ」 (in the kanji version, the equivalent is 「炎の パンチ」). Except for the addition of a space, this is almost the same as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (the Japanese name of Fire Punch). Similarly, the English Pokédex text mentions "fire punch" in lowercase, while moves like "Fire Punch" are written in title case instead.
