Blaze

Summary

Blaze is an ability in the Pokémon series that predominately influences Fire-type Pokémon. The main function of Blaze is to amplify the strength of Fire-type moves by 50% when the Pokémon's HP diminishes to less than one-third of its maximum. This enhancement can notably elevate the effectiveness of Fire-type moves, potentially altering the outcome of a battle when the Pokémon is in a critical state.

Intriguing facts about Blaze consist of: - Blaze is a prevalent ability for Fire-type starter Pokémon across multiple generations, including notable species such as Charizard, Blaziken, and Infernape. This establishes it as a recognized ability amongst many players who opt for Fire-type starters. - The triggering of Blaze can be tactically utilized in battles, especially if the player manages to manipulate the health of the Pokémon in such a way that it activates at a critical juncture, maximizing damage output when it is potentially most vital. - In Double or Triple Battles, Blaze can also be activated by Pokémon executing moves such as Surf or Earthquake to purposefully reduce their own HP.
