About the Flame Body ability
Flame Body is one of 112+ abilities in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Each Pokémon has one active ability at a time, drawn from a list of 1-3 possible abilities per species (the third slot, when present, is the Hidden Ability — only accessible via Tera raids, Mass Outbreaks, or Ability Patch).
Official game text: Contact with the Pokémon may burn the attacker.
How it works: The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with Burn when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pok�mon.
How to get a Pokémon with Flame Body
If Flame Body is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Flame Body. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Flame Body is the Hidden Ability of one of the 1 Pokémon listed above, you'll need either:
- To catch the Pokémon from a 5-star or 6-star Tera raid
- To use an Ability Patch (consumable from picnic crafting / raid rewards) on a Pokémon that already has Flame Body as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
