Blaziken

Template:Blaziken Blaziken (Japanese: バシャーモ Bashaamo) is the Fire/Fighting-type Starter Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III. From Generation VI onwards it can Mega Evolve.

Biology

Physiology

Blaziken is a large, bipedal, humanoid bird-like Pokémon that resembles a rooster. Its face, lower body, arms, and tail are bright red, with some yellow patches on its chest, and running down its legs and feet. It has a tan-colored plume of feathers surrounding its face and chest, like a mane. Two long, tan feathery plumes stem from the back of Blaziken's head. It has blue eyes with yellow scleras. Its mouth is beak-like and hooked, with small nostrils, and it has a V-shaped crest on its forehead. Its arms are long, with sharp, gray claws. It has gray claws at the bases of its yellow-feathered feet. It has a small, pointed red tail.

Gender differences

A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" is also smaller.

Natural abilities

Blaziken has the Ability Blaze. allowing it to use Fire-Type moves with up to 150% damage, but only if its HP is below 30%. In Pokémon Black and White, you can get a Torchic from Dream World with the ability Speed Boost, which makes its Speed rise every turn. This Ability is then retained when Torchic is fully evolved into Blaziken. Aside from its Abilities, Blaziken can leap incredible heights (actually being able to effortlessly transcend a 30-story building) with its outstanding leg strength. It can also make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, shrouding its feet and fists, and practices a form of martial art with these abilities to overwhelm the enemy with in battle. The stronger the foe it faces, the more intensely its flames burn.

Evolution

Blaziken is the evolved form of Combusken, and is the final evolutionary form of the starter Pokémon Torchic. Starting at level 36, Combusken can evolve into Blaziken. Blaziken can further evolve into Mega Blaziken using the Blazikenite.

Trivia

• Blaziken's base Attack is the second highest of all the final form starter Pokémon after Emboar.
• Blaziken is the only Fire-type starter not able to learn Flamethrower through leveling up.
• It is thought that Blaziken's legs are based on MC Hammer's parachute pants.
• Though Blaziken is Fire/Fighting type, it can learn Flying-type moves such as Mirror Move and Brave Bird, possibly due to the consistency of bird-like resemblances in Torchic's evolutionary chain.
• Blaziken can cause fire to erupt from its wrists, usually during fights, though they may flare up more when angry or threatened.
• Blaziken is the first non-Kalos native Pokémon with a Mega Evolution.
• Blaziken was introduced as the evolved form of one of the starter Pokémon, Torchic, in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is Torchic's final evolved form, evolving from Combusken at level 36. Its Fire-type attacks are mostly Physical, exemplified by Blaze Kick and Fire Punch, as opposed to other (Special) attacks such as Flamethrower and Fire Blast. In HeartGold & SoulSilver, you can receive a Torchic from Steven Stone.
• Blaziken was one of the first Pokémon to be featured in Pokkén Tournament, the other two being Lucario and Machamp.
• It is the first Fire-typed starter Pokémon to have the combination of Fire and Fighting types, proceeded by Infernape and Emboar.

Origin

Blaziken is based on a fighting rooster or chicken, with an anthropomorphic body shape.

Etymology

Blaziken's name is a combination of the words "blaze" and "chicken".
