Fire Spin Effect

Has the user generate a blazing vortex around itself, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon it hits. The user redirects a portion of damage taken by ally Pokemon inside the vortex to itself. At the start of this move, the user receives a shield effect. This move ends if the user loses this shield. While the user is still shielded, if a set amount of time passes or if this move is used again, the user releases a heat wave around itself that deals damage to oppsing Pokemon. The more damage the user takes while the shield effect is active, the more damage this heat wave deals.

How to Use Fire Spin

Get a Good Position First

Fire Spin deals damage around Ho-Oh. However, the Pokemon's movement speed is severely reduced, making it hard to stay close to targets. It's best to get a good position first, preferably at melee range of targets, before using Fire Spin.

Using Fly, Sky Attack, or Eject Button to get into position is a great way to set up Fire Spin.

Protect Allies

A portion of the damage that allies take while they're inside Fire Spin's area will be redirected towards Ho-Oh instead. Utilize this mechanic to mitigate the damage that allies take

Utilize the Unstoppable Status Effect

Ho-Oh gains the Unstoppable status effect while using Fire Spin, making it immune to stuns and slows, and purging all debuffs it currently has. Take advantage of this effect to push the offense during fights.

Tank Damage to Increase Heat Wave Damage

When the move is used again or if the set amount of time passes, Ho-Oh realeases a heat wave around itself, dealing damage to enemies within the area. This damage increases the more Ho-Oh takes damage during Fire Spin. Utilize this mechanic to deal massive area damage.

Fire Spin Patch History

1.16.1.2 Cooldown increased from 8s to 8.5s.
