Causes a burn. (Hold)
Flame Orb burns your own Pokémon at the end of the first turn. This seems like a bad idea until you realize certain abilities turn this into a huge advantage!
Guts users like Ursaring get a 50% Attack boost while burned, and the burn damage is fixed at 1/16th HP per turn unlike Toxic which escalates each turn that passes. This makes Flame Orb the preferred choice for Guts sweepers! It also triggers Facade for double damage, turning what should be a hindrance into a massive power boost.
