Monferno in Pokemon Survivor

Monferno at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Monferno has 99 HP, 112 speed and a 1.13x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is about average, its speed is above average and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 48.5, which puts it at rank 522 overall, rank 63 of 107 among Sinnoh Pokemon and rank 47 of 76 Fire-types and 50 of 68 Fighting-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Monferno sits next to Clodsire one place above it and Sudowoodo one place below it.

Monferno moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Monferno starts every run with Ember: a fireball at the nearest enemy.

The level-up cards can then offer 16 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 8 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Fire moves: Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Flame Wheel
• Fighting moves: Karate Chop, Aura Sphere

Weaknesses and resistances

Monferno takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), Flying (1.6x), and Psychic (1.6x). It resists Bug (0.36x), Fire (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Dark (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 8 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Monferno are the ones whose first type is Water, Ground, Flying, or Psychic. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Fire or Fighting moves do not hit harder just because Monferno shares the type.

How to get Monferno

Monferno is part of the Sinnoh banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (30% for Uncommon) and then picks one of the 20 Uncommon Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Monferno a 1.5% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 67 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 30 coins, or 90 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

A rarity-2 Pokemon like Monferno can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Monferno exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Monferno as an enemy

Monferno can show up as a regular enemy from 1:10 into the run (enemy tier 2 and 3). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is zoner: it drops damaging zones on the ground after a short warning.
