To intimidate its opponents, Coalossal will vigorously shake its body, scattering coal from its smoldering back.

Scarlet

It’s gentle usually but fearsome when angered. With a body that burns at over 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit, it crushes foes and turns them to ash.

Violet

Coalossal Weakness

Vulnerable

Coalossal's Rock/Fire typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Ground, Fighting, and Rock. Water and Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It resists 7 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Coalossal's physical bulk (base 120 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Stealth Rock is the priority every time Coalossal comes in. Calm nature and max HP and Sp. Def EVs keep it alive long enough to get layers down, while Heavy-Duty Boots provides hazard immunity on every switch-in. Flame Body rounds it out.

Moves

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Coalossal's Normal and Fighting coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz for same-type damage. Stone Edge and Earth Power are the payoff moves.

How to Obtain Coalossal in Scarlet & Violet

To get Coalossal, start by catching Rolycoly through walking encounters at Lv. 5-34. The chain covers 2 catchable stages before reaching the final form.

  3. Coalossal
    Step 3Coalossal ✓

  • Coalossal looks average on paper at 510 BST. But Flash Fire is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier wall on our tier list.

  • Watch for Urshifu (Water), Landorus (Ground), and Golem (Rock) when using Coalossal. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Urshifu is the most dangerous since Water moves deal 4x damage. Fighting-type attackers are also a problem. At base 30 Speed, Coalossal won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Coalossal gets Flash Fire, Steam Engine, and Flame Body. But Flash Fire is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. On wall sets, Flash Fire pairs with Coalossal's base 120 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.

  • Coalossal is leaning toward the physical side (base 80 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wall role.

  • Coalossal's hidden ability is Flash Fire. Protects against fire moves. Better than the standard options for competitive play.

Available since Sword & Shield, Coalossal appears in 2 games spanning 3 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Gigantamax form in Generation 8.
