In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 590, Gouging Fire plays as a high-end Pokémon with strong numbers across the board. Its standout stat is Defense at 121, while Special Attack (65) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Fire, Dragon typing leaves Gouging Fire with 3 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 10 makes Gouging Fire a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
