Abilities

Ability Ability Description
Blaze Increases the power of Fire-type moves by 50% (1.5×) when the ability-bearer’s HP falls below a third of its maximum (known in-game as in a pinch).
Flash Fire
(Hidden)
When a Pokémon with Flash Fire is hit by a Fire-type move, it does not deal damage but instead raises the power of the bearer’s Fire-type moves by 50%. Subsequent hits do not raise the power even more, but the effect remains while the ability-bearer is in battle.

Best Qualities

Among the starters, Cyndaquil has the highest base Speed stat and Special Attack. However, it has the lowest base HP and Defense stat values. This means Cyndaquil must deal the damage first to gain an advantage.

Cyndaquil will be advantageous during the early game since it will execute attacks first. As Typhlosion, it will be better to assign the Pokémon as a finisher to weakened enemies. This is due to some enemies having more Defense and Special Defense during the late game.
