The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Water}} moves are all commonly used offensively. Aside from {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Ice}}, and the Fire type itself, the Fire type's resistances are of little use because the other types which it resists are typically not strong offensively. Most Fire-type Pokémon do not survive too long in battle due to their typically below average defensive stats | The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Water}} moves are all commonly used offensively.

However, not only does the Fire type have six resistances, among them being key resistances to the powerful {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Fairy}} types, but it is also immune to {{status|burn}}s, making Pokémon of this type key physical attackers. Also, most Fire types can at least learn {{m|Solar Beam}} to counter all three of the type's weaknesses, although it is not reliable outside of {{weather|harsh sunlight}} due to its need to charge. | However, not only does the Fire type have six resistances, among them being key resistances to the powerful {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Fairy}} types, but it is also immune to {{status|burn}}s, making Pokémon of this type key physical attackers.
