Flame Body has a separate chance of activation on each hit of a contact multi-hit move, and can status a Pokemon multiple times if the first status is removed by the effect of Lum Berry or similar items. Flame Body is prevented by Safeguard, but not by Substitute. Flame Body is a strange cushion against physical assaults. Pokemon such as Volcarona typically use Fighting-type assaults as an opportunity to switch in, and a lucky Flame Body activation can cripple the opponent should they lack Guts, giving your Pokemon a golden opportunity to set up. It should not be chosen on Pokemon such as Heatran and Magmortar who have more reliable abilities like Flash Fire or Vital Spirit, respectively, but it's not too bad on Pokemon stuck with it. Flame Body works best on Pokemon that have high Defense and can easily switch into physical contact attacks in order for Flame Body to activate effectively. It should also be noted that burning a Fake Out user with the aid of Flame Body is absolutely hilarious. |
