Overheat Competitive Analysis

Overheat is a strong damage-dealing Fire-type move. With its high 120 base power in addition to the fact that it lowers the user's Sp. Atk by two stages, this move is often used as a finishing move instead of being a primary STAB. Also, Overheat is a good coverage move for non-Fire Pokemon due to the sheer amount of damage it does.

Overheat Locations

Obtain in Workout Sea

An Overheat can be found in the Workout Sea area of the The Isle of Armor DLC.
