The Fire type (Japanese: ほのおタイプ Flame type) is one of the eighteen Pokémon types. Fire type Pokémon can generate large amounts of heat and flame from their bodies and are capable of surviving extremely high temperatures without overheating or suffering from heat stroke. They can be found in all sorts of habitat types, but seem to prefer open habitats like grasslands, deserts and open mountainous woodland over dense forest or jungle. Some like Magmar, Slugma and Heatran even live inside of active volcanoes.
