Flame Wheel in Pokemon Survivor

Flame Wheel at a glance

What Flame Wheel does

Flame Wheel is a Fire-type trail move. You run wrapped in fire, leaving a trail of flames.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Fire-type, which is true of 76 of the 966 Pokemon. It reaches you as a new-move card when you level up, as long as one of your four move slots is free. No Pokemon begins a run with it, so you only find it on level-up cards. Each level-up draws three cards by weight from up to six new-move candidates, your move upgrades and the stat cards, so even a good move can sit out several level-ups.

It burns enemies.

Flame Wheel stats by level

At level 1, Flame Wheel deals 10 damage with a 0.28 second cooldown. At level 5 that becomes 21 damage every 0.28 seconds.

The puddles keep damaging whoever stands in them, so what you deal depends on how long enemies stay inside. The table lists every number the game gives Flame Wheel, so it has no single damage per second figure.

Flame Wheel evolution: Flare Blitz

Flame Wheel evolves into Flare Blitz when it reaches level 5 and you have taken the Sprint card at least once in the same run. Once both are true, a golden evolution card is always offered at your next level-up. Until then, the Sprint card keeps showing up with a note that it unlocks this evolution, so you do not have to hunt for it.

Flare Blitz keeps the Fire type and the same slot. Its damage goes from 21 to 38 and its cooldown stays at 0.28 seconds. The move evolution guide lists all 59 evolutions and the cards they need.

• +80% damage

How to use Flame Wheel

• Trail moves do not need a target: Flame Wheel fires on its cooldown wherever you are.
• Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel take 60% more damage from Fire moves, while Fire, Water, Rock, and Dragon take 40% less. Enemies with two types multiply both effects. See the type chart.
• The only other trail move is Toxic. The moves list compares all 64.
• Each Reflexes card multiplies every cooldown by 0.92 and each Power card multiplies damage by 1.10. After 5 Reflexes cards the 0.28 second cooldown of Flame Wheel at level 1 becomes 0.18 seconds.
• Only the move group in your active slot fires, and every move in the group keeps its own cooldown timer. A bond, which a rift win gives you, fuses loose moves into one group.
• Weather can boost or weaken Fire moves: see the weather guide.
