Flamexor is a legendary Fire/Steel Tank that spawns during Night in Clear weather at Volcanic Cave. It is the hardest legendary to plan around due to habitat difficulty and strict weather requirements, but Legendary Scale makes it essential for endgame builds.
Guide Overview
Flamexor is the Fire/Steel Tank legendary found in Volcanic Cave, a hard habitat typically reached around level 15. Volcanic Cave is challenging because it combines long routes, dangerous encounters, and a specific Clear weather requirement at Night. Most players encounter Flamexor while farming cheaper Fire Pokemon like Pikafire or Emberal.
Flamexor is worth the extra effort because Fire/Steel typing provides resistance to common attack types and the Legendary Scale material is one of the most valuable late-game crafting items. The tradeoff is that Volcanic Cave at Night in Clear weather is a serious commitment.
Step-by-Step Route
- 1
Confirm Night and Clear weather before entering Volcanic Cave — both are required.
- 2
Navigate past the Pikafire and Emberal sections to reach the Flamexor branch.
- 3
Use Iron Ore at the Flamexor branch — Fire Steel Pokemon are attracted to mineral bait.
- 4
Volcanic Cave is hard difficulty — come prepared with healing items for a long route.
- 5
Catch Flamexor and exit — the route is too long to combine with other goals.
- 6
Do not attempt this during the day — Flamexor only appears at Night in Clear weather.
Recommended Setup
- Recipe: Fire Boost — increases Fire damage but does not affect spawn rate; Iron Ore is the key bait.
- Weather: Night + Clear — both non-negotiable.
- Route note: Pikafire and Emberal appear in the same habitat — do not confuse their spawn branches.
- Exit: Have a clear material goal — Legendary Scale or exit after catching Flamexor.
Common Mistakes
- Entering Volcanic Cave during Day in Clear weather — Flamexor is Night-only.
- Using Iron Ore on the Pikafire or Emberal branch instead of saving it for the legendary section.
- Attempting Volcanic Cave without enough healing items — the route is too long for improvisation.
