Overheat

Fire

Summary

Overheat is a Fire-type move with 130 power and 90% accuracy. When used, it inflicts significant damage but sharply lowers the user's Special Attack by two stages afterward. This trade-off makes Overheat a high-risk, high-reward move, often used to deal a powerful hit followed by potential switching out to avoid the detrimental stat reduction. It is particularly effective for Pokémon with high Special Attack stats looking to deliver a strong blow. Overheat is often seen in movesets of Fire-type Pokémon or those with the ability to learn various Fire moves through Technical Machines (TMs) or breeding.
