Flamethrower Effect

Has the user blow flames in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. This move's cooldown increases the longer the user blows flames. If the user hits Pokemon from the opposing team with this move, the user recovers HP. If the user continues to hit opposing Pokemon with this move, the Pokemon are burned, decreasing their movement speed. When the burned Pokemon moves, it will leave behind scorched ground will also be burned, decreasing their movement speed.

How to Use Flamethrower

Aim with the Move Targetting Control

Flamethrower can be quite tricky to aim. Just remember that the move targetting control is the one controlling Flamethrower's direction, not the movement controls.

Move While Using It

Remember to always move around when using Flamethrower. This allows Ho-Oh to stay on top of its target while also giving it a chance to dodge attacks.

Use During Fly

If you selected Fly as Ho-Oh's other move, it's best to use Flamethrower during Fly. Since Fly gives Ho-Oh increased movement speed and Attack, and allows it to hover in the sky, Flamethrower becomes more effective.

Utilize the HP Recovery Effect

When hitting targets from the enemy team with Flamethrower, Ho-Oh recovers HP. Utilize this mechanic to stay alive during fights.

Flamethrower Patch History

1.20.1.2 Damage decreased by approx. 17%.
1.17.2.10 HP recovery increased by 20%.
