Effect

In battle

Generations III to IV

When a Pokémon with Blaze uses aFire-typemove, the move'spower will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.

Generations V onward

Instead of boosting Fire-type moves' power, Blaze now technically boosts the Pokémon'sAttack orSpecial Attack by 50% during damage calculation if a Fire-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same potency.

Outside of battle

Blaze has no effect outside of battle.
