When it comes to type popularity in Pokémon, Fire has always been one of the most popular types in the community. Whether players prefer the Fire-type launch, the classic Fire-types from earlier generations, or the new additions in each mainline game, you can always bet that most players have a Fire-type on their team. However, with so many great Fire Pokémon to choose from, which ones are considered the best in the series?
Today, we’ll be ranking the best Fire Pokémon to use in the base game of the mainline games. This means we'll be excluding Legendary, Mythical, and Ultra Beasts from the list; otherwise, they'll dominate the majority of entries. We'll also consider factors like unique dual types, the origins of Fire Pokémon, the abilities they possess, and more.
This list is ordered from least to most recommended fire types, but all are solid choices.
