Best Fire-type attackers in-game (2026)
The strongest Fire-type attackers in-game are Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blaziken, Primal Groudon, Reshiram, and Shadow Heatran — ranked by total raid DPS at the optimal moveset.
Fire is one of the most important attacking types in-game. Steel, Grass, Bug, and Ice raid bosses are all super-effective targets — and that's a lot of meta-relevant bosses (Metagross, Genesect, Scizor, Articuno, Regice, Mega Aggron, Origin Forme Dialga).
The list below ranks the top Fire attackers by raid output. Top 3 are Megas because Mega bonuses give +30% to all matching-type attackers during their 8-hour window. Non-Mega picks at 4-12 are what you actually grind.
- MAX CP 3,305FireFlying
The premier Fire-type Mega. 159 attack base with Fire Spin + Blast Burn = top raid DPS. Use it as your Mega slot when leading a Fire raid party.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Blast Burn - MAX CP 3,258FireFighting
Dual Fire/Fighting STAB gives flexibility — Blast Burn for Fire raids, Focus Blast for Steel raids. Slightly lower DPS than Mega Y but more coverage.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Blast Burn - MAX CP 4,708Ground
Carries Fire Punch + Solar Beam coverage. Primal bonus stacks with Fire-type roster boosts. Underrated as a Fire attacker thanks to Ground STAB also.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Fire Punch - #4ReshiramMAX CP 4,620DragonFire
Dragon/Fire dual STAB. Fusion Flare is brutal damage per energy. The most accessible top-tier Fire attacker since you don't need a Mega.
MOVESET Fire Fang + Fusion Flare - MAX CP 4,295FireSteel
Shadow buff + Fire/Steel typing makes this the top non-Mega Fire DPS. Best for content where you can't lead with a Mega.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Magma Storm - MAX CP 3,305FireFlying
Shadow + Blast Burn = sneakily competitive with Mega Charizard Y per-attacker. Lower bulk means more dodging required.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Blast Burn - MAX CP 3,070FireFighting
Fast attacker — Shadow + Blast Burn — that punches above its weight. Glass-cannon, so cycle in/out frequently.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Blast Burn - MAX CP 3,772FireGhost
High raw attack stat (250+). Mystical Fire is solid charged DPE. Best non-Shadow, non-Mega attacker — a great budget pick.
MOVESET Incinerate + Mystical Fire - #9HeatranMAX CP 4,295FireSteel
Bulky Fire/Steel attacker. Magma Storm is one of the highest-DPE charged moves in the game. Easier to acquire than its shadow form.
MOVESET Fire Spin + Magma Storm - #10InfernapeMAX CP 3,070FireFighting
Best free-to-play Fire attacker. Get one from any Chimchar Community Day past. Blast Burn unlocks the role.
