>>56136068For any Pokémon that appear to have open flames spewing out of their bodies, it's not ACTUAL fire that they have. Otherwise, they'd be setting things on fire in the games and anime all the time. It isn't fire, but fire energy that they can manifest as real fire at will.
Just think of that episode where Ash rides a Ponyta. It doesn't trust him at first, so when Ash tries to get on its back to ride it, it makes itself hot and burns him to get him off. But once that trust is built, the "fire" is harmless. The Charmander line works the same way with its tail flame.
