Inferno Move Detail

Inferno is a Fire-type move with 100 power and 50% accuracy. A defining feature of Inferno is that it guarantees burning the target if it hits, making it a high-risk, high-reward move due to its powerful effect but low accuracy. Given its ability to guaranteedly inflict the Burn status condition, which lowers the target's Attack stat and causes residual damage each turn, Inferno can be a strategic choice in matches. This move is often used by Pokémon that can benefit from high burst damage and status ailments, though its low accuracy means it is less reliable than other Fire-type moves like Flamethrower or Fire Blast.
