Whether you choose one from the starter lineup or wait until you run into one in the wild, Fire-type Pokemon certainly know how to turn up the heat in battle. Their impressive move pool, resourcefulness, and dual-type combinations make several Fire-types a force to be reckoned with inPokemon:Scarlet & Violet.
Despite whittling down the list of available Pokemon to 400, taken from the 1008 entries currently in existence,Pokemon Scarlet & Violetstill includes several fantastic Fire-types that are scattered throughout the map. While old favorites have made Paldea their home, Trainers can also get their hands on the newest editions to the franchise.
Updated July 24, 2025 by Blaise Santi:Pokemon Scarlet & Violethave finally seen the release of two DLC expansions:The Teal Maskand theIndigo Disk.These additional storylines introduce new locations for players to explore inScarlet & Violet, namely the region of Kitakami and the fascinating Terarium where many rare Pokemon, including every starter Pokemon, spawn. With the addition of new areas comes new Fire-types for players to hunt down, so players should make sure to check out these additional areas in the Nintendo Switch game.
10Torchlit Labyrinth
Biodiversity Is Rampant In The Terarium
The Terarium in The Indigo Disk DLCcontains four biomes: Polar, Coastal, Savanna, and Canyon. Underneath the Coastal Biome, however, is a secret system of tunnels known as the Torchlit Labyrinth. As its name suggests, there are many Fire-type Pokemon who spawn in this region, including some who aren’t in the base game.
Among these Fire-types are Magby and Magmar, Numel and Camerupt, Torkoal, Fletchling, Fletchinder, and Talonflame. For players who want to catch all the Fire-type starter Pokemon, though, they’ll have to increase biome diversity and explore elsewhere in the Terarium, though non-starter Fire-types are most common in this labyrinthian cave.
9Mossfell Confluence
Gen 1 Fans Will Love Kitakami
The Kitakami region, exclusive to the Teal Mask DLC, has several areas where Fire-types are aplenty. Mossfell Confluence in particularhas two common Fire-types: Growlithe and Vulpix. While Growlithe can be found in his Kantonian form all over the Paldea region, in Kitakami players can also obtain a Hisuian Growlithe from Perrin in the nearby Mossui Town.
Vulpix, meanwhie, only appears in The Teal Mask DLC, not the base game, making it a unique Fire-type to catch. Its Ice-type Alolan form also appears in The Indigo Disk DLC, but its Fire-type Kantonian form is exclusive to the Kitakami region.
8Infernal Pass
One Of The Six Wonders Of Kitakami
Infernal Pass is located at the top of Oni Mountain in the Kitakami region. This significant locale in Kitakami ishome to many Fire-type Pokemon, including Vulpix, Houndour, Houndoom, and Slugma. However, at night, the Ghost/Fire-type Litwick will also appear in the area.
Infernal Pass is also home to two Fire-type Tera Pokemon. There’s a Slugma on the west side of the mountain range with the Rock Tera type, while a Lampent on the east side is Grass Tera type. Elsewhere on Oni Mountain, Salandit can be found roaming in caves and on mountainsides, though finding a female to evolve will prove incredibly challenging.
7North Province (Area Three)
Caves And Grass Are Hot Spots
Area Three of North Province is agreat place to find Fire-typePokemon. In the cave area, Trainers will find Houndour, Houndoom, Salandit, and Salazzle. Another Pokemonfound here is Charcadet, one of the new 106 Pokemon introduced inScarlet & Violet.Depending on the game version, can evolve into the Fire/Psychic type Armarouge, or the Fire/Ghost type called Ceruledge.
While Litleo and Pyroar can be found roaming the grassy wilderness of North Province, there are two very special Pokemon that Trainers will want to keep an eye out for. These are Paldean Tauros (Fire-type), an incredibly rare spawn exclusive toPokemon Scarlet, and Iron Moth, a futuristic Paradox version of Volcarona, exclusive toPokemon Violet.
6Tagtree Thicket
A Legendary Pokemon Hides In Ruins
The Legendary Pokemon Chi-Yu is a member of the Treasures of Ruin alongside fellow Legendaries Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, and Ting-Lu. This Dark/Fire-type has impressive Special Attack and Special Defense stats, as well as the Beads of Ruin ability, which will cut a chunk from the Special Defense of all Pokemon on the field.
To summon this Pokemon, Trainers will have to embark on a journey to find all of the Blue Stakes scattered around North Province and Tagtree Thicket. After all of the stakes are found, Trainers will need to head to Fury Falls, go into the cave, and hit the large button. This will summon Chi-Yu, who can be caught with a quick ball.
5East Province (Area Three)
Explore The Mines To Make These ‘Mons Yours
The Mines found in Area Three of East Province have several Fire-type Pokemon hiding within them. This includes Rolycoly, Carkol, Growlithe, and Torkoal. Torkoal can only be found in this area, which makes it essential for Trainers to catch one while they have the opportunity.
Two Fire Stones can be found in Area Three of the East Province, which will conveniently allow you to evolve a Growlithe into an Arcanine. One of these can be found in the middle of the north riverbank, with the other one hidden in the ground. Fire Stones can also be used on Pokemon like Vulpix, as well as Gen 9’s new Grass/Fire-type Capsakid.
4Glaseado Mountain
These Fire-Types Keep The Locale Warm
Glaseado Mountain is an unlikely treasure trove for Trainers searching for Fire-types inScarlet & Violet. Pokemon such as Mudbray, Mudsdale, Numel, Litleo, Pyroar, Houndour, Houndoom, and Salandit make an appearance at the base of the chilly terrain. There is also a slim chance of running into Flareon, the Fire-type evolution of Eevee.
While the caves at Glaseado Mountain have slim pickings when it comes to Fire-types, there is one Pokemon that you will not want to pass up on in this area. At level 18, Rolycoly evolves into Carkol and then into Coalossal at level 34. Coalossal’s Steam Engine ability will turn a weakness into a strength, as a water attack will increase its speed exponentially.
3South Province (Area Five)
A Special Tera Pokemon Roams This Area
Fans of bird-inspired Fire-types will want to head to Area Five of South Province, with Fletchinder and Oricorio (Baile Style) spawning here. There is also a slim chance of catching Volcarona, one of the strongest Fire-types inPokemon Scarlet & Violet.
Trainers can also find and capture aFire Tera type Flareon, which adopts a crystallized appearance when itTerralizes in battle. This Pokemon can be found at the highest point of the mountain, which is located on the eastern side of South Province Area Five. Make sure you bring a Water-type to battle it, as its Fire-type moves will be super-powered.
2West Province (Area Two)
Porto Marinada Lighthouse Offers A Fiery Deal
While Rotom is an Electric/Ghost-type Pokemon, it can change its form and type depending on the household appliance it possesses. InPokemon Scarlet & Violet, you canfind Rotom near theLighthouse in Porto Marinada. Once caught, Trainers can head to the auction stand and purchase microwave in the Rotom Catalog to turn their Rotom into a Heat Rotom.
While in the West Province area, those looking to capture as many Fire-type Pokemon as possible should look out for Houndour, Houndoom, and Rolycoly, who frequently spawn in the caves of the Area, as well as Salazzle and Charcadet, who are the rarest Fire-types to appear.
1Asado Desert
This Oasis Is A Fire-Type Hot Spot
Dry, humid, and hot — just the way Fire Pokemon like it. At Asado Desert, Trainers will encounter the Pokemon Scovillain, a dual Grass/Fire type. Another useful Fire-type found here is Larvesta, which will evolve into Volcarona. This Bug/Fire Pokemon has proved itself in past generations to be one of the better Fire Pokemon choices, despite its low spawn rate.
Fans of Oricorio will be able to obtain the Baile Style while searching in the flowers. As trainers make their way through the rocky areas of the Asado Desert, they will also find Camerupt and Growlithe. ForPokemon Scarletplayers, there is an incrediblyrare Paldean Fire Taurosroaming the wilderness, just north of Asado Desert and east of Porto Marinada.
