33 Burn is a Pokemon Specialty in Pokemon Pokopia. Pokemon with the Burn specialty can set fire to flammable objects, power smelting furnaces used to process ores into ingots, and light campfires and torches around your island. Burn is essential for processing iron, copper, and Pokemetal into their refined forms, making it one of the cornerstone specialties for any building-focused playthrough.

3232 Befriend at least one Burn Pokemon early in the game (Charmander or Growlithe is the fastest path) to unlock smelting recipes.Place the Burn Pokemon's habitat directly next to your smelting furnace; idle Burn Pokemon will automatically power the furnace during their daily routines.Stockpile fuel materials and ores before sleeping; the Burn Pokemon will continue processing through the night cycle.For high-throughput smelting, set up multiple Burn habitats around a furnace cluster. Each Burn Pokemon contributes to total processing speed.Combine Burn with Litter-specialty Pokemon (Grimer, Muk) to recover Pokemetal Fragments from the discarded slag piles around smelting stations.
