Pokemon Sword & Shield: Best Fire Pokemon

8: Salazzle – Best Fire Pokemon in Sword and Shield

Salazzle, while not the most powerful Fire Pokemon in Sword and Shield, still has a few useful niches.

First, its typing of Fire/Poison is still unique as of Sword and Shield. Second, while its base stats aren’t the highest, it does have strong distribution in the two most important areas: Speed and Special Attack.

Finally, it still has its signature ability: Corrosion, which allows it to poison Steel and Poison types that would otherwise be immune.

Salazzle is niche, but it at least does some things that only it can do.
