Discover the power of Flame Body ability in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet! Unleash the potential of these fiery Pokemon as Scarlet and Violet trainers embark on their journey Learn where to find them and how to effectively utilize Flame Body's incredible benefits
Pokemon have a wide range of useful abilities that can be applied both in battles and outside of them. Among these abilities, Flame Body has gained immense popularity in the competitive and shiny-hunting communities. Excitingly, Flame Body makes a comeback in the highly anticipated Pokemon Scarlet & Violet games. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of Flame Body, players can refer to this guide for all the essential information.
What Does Flame Body Do?
The Flame Body ability has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn on the opponent when a Pokemon with this ability makes contact. This ability is highly advantageous in battles. However, there is an additional benefit to having a Pokemon with Flame Body in your party. It reduces the number of steps required to hatch an egg by half, even if the Pokemon is unconscious. It's important to note that Pokemon with Flame Body obtained through hidden abilities will require an Ability Patch to utilize this ability.
This is particularly helpful for trainers who want to save time when breeding perfect 6 IV Pokemon, giving them an advantage in ranked online matches or against friends. Trainers may also pursue shiny Pokemon, which are rare and highly sought-after, as the reduced hatch time greatly increases their chances. Discovering the hidden secrets of this ability is only part of the challenge. Finding a Pokemon with Flame Body is not a common occurrence unless you are aware of which Pokemon possess this ability, and it may require some time and effort to locate one randomly in the vast open world of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
Where to Get a Pokemon with Flame Body
There are currently 16 Pokemon that have Flame Body, and 14 of them can be found in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. These Pokemon can be obtained through Pokemon Home and The Teal Mask expansion. All 14 of these Pokemon are viable options for shiny breeders or for breeding strong competitive Pokemon.
Sizzlipede and Centiskorch are the remaining two Pokemon with Flame Body, but they are not included in the table because they cannot be obtained in Scarlet and Violet. There is a possibility that they may become available with the release of The Indigo Disk, but this has not been confirmed yet.
