Pokémon fans have always felt the heat when it comes to taking on Fire-types, and in Pokémon Legends: ZA, you'll find no shortage of fiery friends to train, evolve, and join you on your adventures across Lumiose City in the Kalos region in Generation VI.
Pokemon Legends: ZA has dozens of Fire-type Pokemon between the base game and the Mega Dimension DLC. But which Pokémon will prove most worthy of your efforts? There are many Pokemon with weaknesses compared to the power of Fire-type Pokemon, so it is best to catch Fire-type Pokemon early.
Talon Flame
Even though it's a bit disappointing that the Scorching Pokemon was left out of the list of Mega Evolutions added in DLC for Pokemon Legends: ZA and Mega Dimensions, we're still big fans of Talonflame even if it can't go Mega (yet – we're not losing hope!).
Pokemon Legends: Best Catch in All Wild Areas in ZA
Of course you have to catch them all, but if you have to focus on just one of them…
If you're looking for a safe and reliable early game fire type to help energize your team (especially if you didn't choose Tepig as the start of your Lumiose adventure), Talonflame is a great choice! Capture all the Fletchlings around the city and level them up into one of the ferocious Fire/Flying dual-type Pokémon of your choice.
Amalog
If you're one of the many Pokemon fans who fell in love with the Charcadet evolution line in the recent Scarlet and Violet titles, you'll no doubt want to see them return in Pokemon Legends: ZA's Mega Dimension DLC as well. Capture Charcadet from one of the Dimensional Rifts and evolve it into Armarouge to enjoy a dual-type Fire/Psychic Pokemon.
The type combination means it can dish out a lot of special attack damage, so it's wise to grind those stats for Armarouge whenever possible. Give it a plus move to help it pack an even more powerful (psychic) punch!
Ceruleige
If you want to turn your hard-earned Charcadet into a non-Psychic Ghost dual-type, you can instead evolve it into Ceruledge and enjoy the terrifying greatness it brings to the battlefield. While Armarouge wins in terms of defensive ability, offensive players may want to lean more on Ceruledge instead.
Although it is not in Mega Evolution form here, we still cannot give up its power. It's a more physical attacker than a special attack, so keep this distinction in mind when building your moveset with powerful options like Flare Blitz, Bitter Blade, and more. A double immunity stack to normal and ground moves certainly can't hurt either!

We always love seeing how Pokemon teams come up with creative ways to mix typings, so it's always fun to see Fire and Ghost types in Chandelure. Unless you're on the wrong side of the battlefield. The Tempting Pokémon gained its Mega Evolution form in Pokémon Legends: ZA, and it's full of power.
After defeating Ivor for Honor and achieving Rank D in ZA Royale, Quasartico Inc. By grabbing the Chandelurite from HQ (you probably caught Litwick in the sewers under Lumiose City anyway) and doubling down on finding the Dusk Stone, you'll be able to use ZA, one of the best Fire-type Pokémon in Legends, as soon as possible.

In theory, it's always interesting to have a Pokémon with a typing that can make it weak to you, but Scovillain returns from the last Pokémon generation to make another fiery appearance. This time it uses a new Mega Evolution format that is definitely scary.
To obtain the power of Pepper, you must fight this Picante Pokémon in a rogue battle in a dimensional rift. However, once you defeat and capture this Pokémon and catch Scovilinite, which helps you summon its equally powerful powers, you'll have all sorts of nice perks that the Spicy Pepper Pokémon offers.

After helping a sickly Fennekin in one of the side missions when you first arrive in Lumiose City and then losing the railing that came with it when playing through Pokemon Legends: ZA's tutorial, Fennekin will gladly join your party in return for your efforts, earning you a powerful new Pokemon friend for your efforts.
Evolving Fennekin into its final form of Delphox allows you to enjoy even more unique type combinations with dual Fire and Psychic types. That means you can be a Special Attacker, but with such impressive base stats, it won't be a problem for you and Delphox even before you evolve into your Mega form.

Everyone loves the adorable little fire starters in the Pokémon games, but it's no surprise to see them grow into their fearsome form in their final evolution, and this is where you'll find Tepig's final form, Emboar. But what they lose in cuteness as they evolve, they more than make up for in outright power.
This Fire/Fighting type could potentially be with us from the start of our second outing on Kalos here in Pokemon Legends: ZA. If you chose Tepig at the start of the game, Emboar will be one of your first experiences using Mega Evolution to give your Pokemon pack an even more powerful punch/

Added in Pokemon Legends' Mega Dimensions DLC, ZA was among the other starters from the iconic generation of Pokemon games, and everyone's favorite Fire and Fighting dual-type chicken Pokemon is back to continue kicking ass on the battlefield.
Once you earn the stripes and catch your very own Blaziken, you'll have one of the most iconic dual-type Pokémon of all time. This solidifies the standard Fire/Fighting final starter evolution that sometimes seems broken in mainline Pokémon games, but if you're looking for a good balance between hot fire and hot moves, look no further.

As the original Fire starter, Charizard will likely remain as one of the best Fire-type Pokémon as anyone has ever been. This game has been a fierce fighter since the first generation of games, and if you pick up Charmander in the side mission where Mable gives you the Kanto starter, you're on your way to becoming one of the best.
Not only is Charizard powerful in his normal base form, but he also has two unique Mega Evolution forms in Charizard X and Charizard Y. If you're looking to double down on special attacks and primarily use fire moves, Charizard Y might be your best choice since Charizard
