They aren't. It's just that everyone but is too much of a sissy to run Lava Plume

Why would it?

It's not like Fire doesn't have an equivalent move--it does.

It just has shit distribution.

>everyone is too pussy to always use a move with shit distribution
Most of the pokemon that get it are mediocre anyway. Let something like Arcanine have it.

You ever heard of boiled lobster before?

Nah, put it on a TM, then let every Fire-type have it.

It's not like there are THAT many.

Fire type Pokemon are surprisingly rare and shitty.

I never realized how little fire types there are, and how much of those few I actually like. Holy shit, that's a small number.

>>31503911
doesn't help that fire types have absolute garbage distribution in each game. You get the starters, but other families are rare as fuck.

Diamond and Pearl are the most notorious example of this.

Nearly half of the existing Fire-types are available in SM

What's the reasoning behind this? Why can every Pokemon become capable of ninja powers?
