The Fire type (ほのおタイプ Honō taipu in Japanese) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
This one of the most recognized type of Pokémon, since one of the three Starter Pokémon has this type.
Fire-type moves are based in attacks of this element, with the control of it and most of them can leave the status Burn.
They are passionate and some have bad behaviour, they live in caves, volcanoes and arid zones. However, there are some other Pokémon that tend to live in green areas, like Ponyta and Rapidash. There are others that are very docile, like Growlithe, Vulpix and their respective evolutions.
Most of these Pokémon release fire from their own body, and apparently this doesn't bother them, and the flames can either grow or lower depending on the Pokémon's health and/or mood.
Famous Fire-type Pokémon Trainers include Blaine, the seventh Kanto Gym Leader; Flannery, the fourth Hoenn Gym Leader; Flint, the third member of the Sinnoh Pokémon League; Chili, one of the three Gym Leaders of Striaton City in Unova; and Malva, a member of the Kalos Pokémon League.
