Here's why you can't directly "use" it in Platinum:
* Abilities are passive: Abilities are inherent traits that passively affect a Pokémon's stats, moves, or interactions. You can't manually activate them.
* Blaze triggers automatically: The Blaze ability only activates when a Pokémon's HP falls below a certain threshold, making it a passive effect.
* No ability changing: In Pokémon Platinum, there's no way to change a Pokémon's ability. You can't make a Pokémon with a different ability learn Blaze.
How Blaze works:
The Blaze ability boosts Fire-type moves by 1.5x when the Pokémon's HP falls below ⅓. This means you don't have to "use" Blaze; it activates automatically when the conditions are met.
Finding Pokémon with Blaze:
* Breeding: You can breed Pokémon with the Blaze ability to pass it on to their offspring. However, this requires finding a Pokémon with Blaze in the first place.
* Events: Some events in Platinum may have distributed Pokémon with Blaze. However, these events are usually time-limited.
In summary: You can't directly use the Blaze ability in Pokémon Platinum. It's a passive ability that activates automatically under specific conditions.
