Strategy & play
How Gouging Fire ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Blaze Blitz) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 260 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
- Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥115 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Gouging Fire ex
- Exploit its Water weakness — ≥115 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
