Fire

The Fire-type is one of the fifteen elemental types introduced in the first generation of Pokémon. It is considered one of the three basic elemental types a player is subjected to, as every Starter Trio contains a Fire-typed Pokémon. Choosing a Fire-typed Starter Pokémon often has an advantage over the other two, as many Pokémon encounterable early-on are weak to it. Furthermore, the Fire-type made up of fiery lizards, draconic entities, and mythical beings relating to or stylized by flames and magma.

It is to note that before Generation 4, all damaging Fire-type moves were categorized into special attacks, while afterward being split up into the physical and status categories too – depending on the move.
