This Electric-type attack damages the user slightly on impact, which synergizes with the Reckless ability to boost its damage. This move will also benefit from Same Type Attack Bonues (STAB) due to the Emboar's Electric Tera-typing.

Emboar's base typing is Fire and Fighting, and Flare Blitz is one of the strongest Fire-type attacks in the game. Emboar also has stronger Physical attack stats, and Flare Blitz is a Physical-type move.

While Head Smash is not a Fire, Fighting, or Electric-type, it is a very strong Physical move and will be great for type coverage.
