About this deal
Great chance for new players (2023) to get a cheap Fire team that works great. If you already have Chandelure (Dec 2022 CD) or better, not much need to bother.

I might have to scale down the frequency and depth of my analyses soon. More details and explanations to come, hopefully by my next article (June CD?). The subsequent projectiles deal about 25% of the first projectile. How to Use Mystical Fire Single Out Targets Unfortunately, Blast Burn Delphox is well below Reshiram, Shadows, the non-legendary trio Volcarona, Darmanitan and Chandelure, and the “outclassed legendary trio” Moltres, Entei and Heatran. This includes some future Blast Burn starters (Incineroar, Cinderace, Hisuian Typhlosion with speculative moves). It’s safe to use both indoors and out on wood burning fires and has an attractive slow burn that lasts up to an hour. Simply throw 1-3 sachets on the fire unopened and enjoy the memorable effects.
Damage
This means a few other Pokémon can possibly make use of it: Volcarona, Darmanitan, Chandelure, and future Blacephalon. Equivalent Rating (ER) and DPS of Blacephalon, Volcarona, Darmanitan and Chandelure with Mystical Fire and Overheat. Table sorted by ER. (Fire Spin on Blacephalon is speculative) In general, here’s a “tier list” of released Blast Burn starters and Flareon (an “honorary starter” and a severely underrated budget option): It gazes into the flame at the tip of its branch to achieve a focused state, which allows it to see into the future.

However, long-term players probably have Chandelure from last year’s CDs, or something better. Those are well above Delphox… So not much need to bother with this CD.IV calculator Evolution calculator Catch chance calculator PidgeyCalc CP Calculator Pokémon Manager Trading map Guides Events Research The same goes for non-shadow Hisuian Typhlosion and Skeledirge (Gen 9) if they get the best possible moves, though H-Typhlosion may be underrated and Skeledirge may be overrated. I can’t run sims on them yet. Note that Delphox is the bulkiest Blast Burn user right now, in a stark contrast to Blaziken. Only Incinerate and Skeledirge out-bulk it. Fire Spin/Mystical Fire Blacephalon will probably still perform worse than Fusion Flare Reshiram in practice, despite higher DPS. (Blacephalon has its own signature move Mind Blown anyway, if you’re willing to wait another few years.) Among starters only, Blast Burn Delphox is (and will be) the 2nd best, only behind Blaziken and tied with Emboar. But much better options exist: Reshiram, Shadows, Volcarona/Darmanitan/Chandelure.
