Defending as Fire

A pure Fire partner takes ×1.6 from Water, Ground and Rock. It resists six attack types at ×0.6; resistance reduces damage rather than making an attack harmless.

All six Fire moves and their evolutions

Six ways to deliver Fire damage

Ember targets the nearest enemy, while Flamethrower attacks in a short cone. Fire Spin circles your partner and Heat Wave spreads outward. Will-O-Wisp places a firing flame; Flame Wheel leaves damaging patches along your path. Choose around the space each attack covers and check its required evolution card.

Igneous Volcano: the Fire Rift arena

Lava pools break up the volcanic ground. Dodge onto safe terrain to avoid burns.

Eight legendaries are eligible for this arena: Moltres, Entei, Ho-Oh, Heatran, Victini, Reshiram, Volcanion and Chi-Yu. Entei is pure Fire; the other seven have a second type and can also use that type’s arena. Their complete typing still determines damage matchups.

Fire damage in sun and rain

The official weather guide states that harsh sunlight boosts Fire and weakens Water, while rain boosts Water and weakens Fire. Weather is a separate consideration from the type chart: check the current conditions alongside the opponent’s types.

Fire-type questions

What is Fire super effective against in PokéSurvivor?

Fire deals ×1.6 damage to a single Grass, Ice, Bug or Steel type. Against two defending types, the modifiers multiply, with a maximum of ×2.4.

What are Fire’s weaknesses and resistances?

Pure Fire takes ×1.6 from Water, Ground and Rock. It takes ×0.6 from Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel and Fairy. A second type can change these values.

Which cards evolve the Fire moves?

Ember needs Power; Flamethrower and Will-O-Wisp need Reflexes; Fire Spin needs Synthesis; Heat Wave needs Vigor; Flame Wheel needs Sprint.

Does a Fire Rift always contain a pure Fire legendary?

No. Entei is the only pure Fire entry among the eight eligible legendaries. The other seven retain their second type even when the encounter uses Igneous Volcano.
