11Overview2233Burn 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.445566What it Does7788Powers smelting furnaces to convert raw ore into refined ingotsLights campfires, ovens, and torches for cooking and warmthLights flammable terrain (dry grass, brush piles) on demandPowers the Charizard-fueled Hot Plate cooking stationProvides Burn-themed Comfort Level boosts for nearby Fire-type Pokemon habitats991010Pokemon with Burn Specialty11111212Pokemon confirmed to carry the Burn specialty in Pokopia:13131414PokemonRarityHabitatNotesCharmanderCommonWithered WastelandEarly-game starter for Burn; first reliable Burn Pokemon for new playersCharmeleonRareWithered WastelandMid-stage form; same specialty as Charmander but stronger comfort radiusCharizardRareWithered WastelandFinal stage; required for the Hot Plate cooking stationGrowlitheCommonPalette TownAlternate early-game Burn source; easier to befriend than CharmanderArcanineRareWithered WastelandLargest comfort radius among Burn PokemonVulpixCommonWithered WastelandCompact habitat footprint; pairs well with Comfort Level decorationNinetalesRareWithered WastelandCarries both Burn and Illuminate; double-specialty valueMagbyCommonWithered WastelandFamily member of Magmar; both share the Burn specialtyMagmarRareWithered WastelandFinal-stage Burn; pairs well with Generate Pokemon for industrial setupsTorchicCommonPalette TownAlternate Palette Town option for Burn; small habitat footprintCyndaquilCommonWithered WastelandEasy to befriend; one of the friendliest Burn options for beginnersScorbunnyCommonPalette TownActive around Hot Plate cooking; pairs with Eat specialty Pokemon for kitchen automation1515How to Unlock Burn16161717The Burn specialty is unlocked naturally early in the main story when you befriend your first Burn-capable Pokemon.
