Blaze (ability)

Blaze is an ability introduced in Generation III. So far, 7 Pokémon have this ability. All Fire-type Starter Pokémon have this Ability, although it's not exclusive to them, and all Pokémon that have this Ability are Fire types. There are 3 Abilities that are variations of Blaze: Overgrow, which affects Grass-type Attacks, Torrent for Water-type Attacks and Swarm for Bug-type Attacks.

In Battle
Blaze increases the power of Fire-type moves by 50% (1.5×) when the ability-bearer's HP falls below a third of its maximum (which is called "in a pinch" in-game).

Outside of Battle
Blaze has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia

 * Of Blaze and its variants, Swarm is the only Ability that none of the Starters have.
 * Also, Swarm has the most Pokémon with this Ability, with 12, while Torrent has the least, with only 4.
