Fire-type Pokemon are favorites of many fans, so♋ of course, some may want to make a team consisting solely of this type. With the right Pokemon, movesets, items, and abilities, Fire-types can overcome their weaknesses to Water, Ground, and Rock-types. It won't be easy though, as most teams do have Water and Ground-types!
Every little detail matters in the art of perfection in Pokemon. IVs and Natures are esp𒀰ecially tedious. To start off though, there are some Fire-type Pokemon that are more competitively viable than others.
Good Fire-Type Pokemon To Use

Alolan Marowak – With the item Thick Club🌳, Alolan Marowak gets a major🔯 attack boost. Has the ability Rock Head, which makes it not take recoil damage from great Fire-type attacks like Flare Blitz.
Moltres – Being Fire and Flying🐈-type gives it good type resistances and an immunity to Ground. Moltres can heal with Roost and use good Flying-t🔯ype moves like Hurricane.
Ho-Oh – A good choice for the same reason at Mol🍎tres. Its ability, Regenerator, allows it to heal some when switched out. It also knows the powerful move Sacred Fire.
Houndoom – Has a great Speed stat, can mega-evolve, and has access to Dark♉-type 🌃moves like Dark Pulse.

Moves To Teach Your Team
Fo༺r an all Fire-type team, there are certain moves that should be well known as they provide an advantage. Outside of Fire-type movesꩲ, there are some that can defend against their weaknesses.
Sunny Day – This move is a must-have for an all Fire-type team, as it boosts their attacks and decreases the damage of Water-type attacks. The Pokemon that uses this mo𒐪ve can also hold a Heat Rock to make it last longer.
Solar Beam 🐻– Solar Beam is super-effective against Water-types. If Sunny Day is active, Solar Beam will take less time to charge up.
F🌟ire Blast – Special Attack move that deals a ton of damage൩ with a 10% chance to Burn enemies.
Flamethrower – Has more PP and✅ accuracy ꦯthan Fire Blast and still does decent damage with a chance to Burn opponents.
Substitute – Good to use when in a pinch against a Water, Rock, or🌳 ෴Ground Pokemon. Let them waste their Hydro Pumps and Earthquakes on a Substitute.
Roar – Another defensive option against Po𒈔kemon super-ef꧋fective against Fire. Best to use in combination with Stealth Rock.
Stealth Rock – Best to use at the beginning of every battle. Can be used by Heatran, 🌼Infernape, and Alওolan Marowak,
Nasty🎶 Plot – For Special Attackers like Ninetails and Houndoom.
Toxic – Always useful for slowly wearing down opponents. Caℱn be learned by a l🍸ot of Pokemon.
Lava Plume – Spe𝕴cial Attack with high💝 power and a 30% chance to burn the target.
Protect – Allows the player to sit back for a turn without takin♊g any damage. This is especially helpful if you are wearing down your opponent with effects like Toxic and Burn.
Abilities To Look For
There are certain abilities tꦿhat work especially well with an all Fire-type team.
Drought – With this ability, y🐠ou do not need to teach your Pokemon Sunny Day. It automatically starts the moment they come to the battlefield. This is a must for anyone that has Ninetails on their team.
Flame Body – This ability makes it so every time they are hit with a close phꦜysical attack, the atta𒉰cker has a 30% chance of getting burned. Pokemon that can have this ability include Volcarona, Chandelure, Magmotar, and Moltres.
Flash Fire – Gജrants immunity to Fire-type moves.♕ The first time a Fire-type move hits the Pokemon, it will also get an increase in its Attack stat.
Other Things To Keep In Mind
To really put together an excellent unit, breed the Fire-type team with perfect IVs. For each Pokemon you pick, they may be better suited for 🍷different Natures (like Jolly is best for Arcanine and Timid for Charizard).
There are also a lot of great items they can hold 🥀that make a great difference, including Life Orb and Leftovers.
