Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Defense carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Coal Pokemon still yields 3 Defense EVs per fight on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Its body is a colossal stove. With Gigantamax energy stoking the fire, this Pokémon’s flame burns hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
When Galar was hit by a harsh cold wave, this Pokémon served as a giant heating stove and saved many lives.
Coalossal Weakness
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.

| 2x (Weak) | Fighting, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Fairy |

Coalossal Guide
In Sword & Shield, Coalossal looks average on paper at 510 BST. But Flash Fire is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier wall on our tier list. Bodypress with Weakness Policy is the standard set.
In Sword & Shield, 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 a physical attacker with 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.
In Sword & Shield, Coalossal's hidden ability is Flash Fire. Protects against fire moves. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
Game Availability
