Fire Pledge (Japanese:ほのおのちかいFlame Oath) is a damage-dealingFire-typemove introduced inGeneration V. It isTM144 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Along withWater Pledge andGrass Pledge, Fire Pledge is one of the battle-combo moves. AllFire-typefirst partner Pokémon and theirEvolutions can learn this move.
Effect
Fire Pledge inflictsdamage.
When two allies attempt to use Fire Pledge and eitherWater Pledge orGrass Pledge on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:
- If Fire Pledge andWater Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Water Pledge with a power of 150, and create a rainbow on the user's side of the field for four turns. The rainbow doubles the probability ofadditional effects taking place for moves used by that side of the field (including the chance of flinching caused byKing's Rock andRazor Fang, but not includingSecret Power); this effect is cumulative withSerene Grace for chances to cause a stat change or inflict a status, but not for chances to cause flinching. Due to the way certain secondary effects are handled, this can lead to anoverflow glitch.
- If Fire Pledge andGrass Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Fire Pledge with a power of 150, and create a sea of fire on the target's side of the field for four turns. The sea of fire damages all non-Fire-type Pokémon on that side of the field for 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.
If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g.paralysis,Sky Drop, etc.), no move will be executed.
Fire Pledge is unaffected by a heldFire Gem (and will not consume it). If a combined move is used, it will always receive thesame-type attack bonus no matter which Pokémon is the one executing it, or what type the combined move is.
Fire Pledge does not work inSky Battles.

Fire Pledge's regular power changed from 50 to 80.

In other games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
Fire Pledge deals damage. InSuper Mystery Dungeon, when Fire Pledge is used with Water Pledge in anAlliance, the user's party will get therainbow condition for five turns, which increases the probability of secondary effects taking place. When used with Grass Pledge, the enemies in the same room will get thesea of fire condition, which damages all opponent non-Fire-type Pokémon for five turns.
InRescue Team DX, Alliances are no longer present. Instead, when Fire Pledge is used with a teammate in a position from which it can use Grass Pledge (that is, also adjacent to the enemy), Fire Pledge's power will be increased and the enemies in the same room will get the Sea of Fire condition, which damages all opponent non-Fire-type Pokémon for five turns. 1 PP of Grass Pledge will also be used (and the teammate with Grass Pledge can still make another move on that turn). Fire Pledge's effect with Water Pledge will only activate when Water Pledge is used.
