How it compares

Against the other Fire charged moves

Of the 22 Fire charged moves in the game, Blast Burn is #12 by damage per second — Pyroball leads with 75 against its 34.3. It is a 2-bar move (50 energy). Per point of energy it ranks #3 (2.4). All Fire moves.

In GO Battle League it costs 50 energy for 110 power, 2.2 damage per energy — #4 of 22 Fire charged moves on that measure.

Every Pokemon listed below can only have it as a legacy move: Blaziken, Cinderace, Emboar, Delphox, Typhlosion and 4 more. A regular TM never rolls it for them — it takes an Elite TM or the event that features it.

What these stats mean

Power, energy, duration, DPS and the PvP numbers

Power: Base damage each use deals before type and stat multipliers.
Energy: Energy the move costs to fire.
Duration: Animation time. You cannot dodge or attack during it.
DPS: Damage per second — power × 1000 / duration.
PvP stats: GO Battle League runs on 0.5s turns with its own power and energy values, so they differ from the raid numbers.
