Flash-Fire

Flash Fire is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides significant strategic advantages to the Pokémon that possess it. When a Pokémon with Flash Fire is hit by a Fire-type move, it absorbs the attack without taking any damage and subsequently boosts the power of its own Fire-type moves by 50%. This effect remains active until the Pokémon is switched out or faints.

Effects: - Immunity to Fire-type Moves: Pokémon with Flash Fire are unaffected by Fire-type moves, making them excellent counters against Fire-type Pokémon. - Power Boost: Upon activation, the power of the Pokémon’s Fire-type moves increases by 50%. This boost can turn otherwise mediocre Fire-type moves into potent attacks, providing a significant offensive advantage. - Chain Immunity: Flash Fire can be activated multiple times, allowing continuous use of the boosted power as long as the Pokémon stays in the battle and is repeatedly hit by Fire-type moves.
