Delphox (Japanese: マフォクシー, HepburnMafokushii) (DELL-fox[1]) is a Fire/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It is the final evolution of Fennekin, the Fire-type starter from Kalos.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Delphox is a tall, bipedal foxlike Pokémon. It has a long and pointy distinctly vulpine muzzle with a round orange nose. Its eyes are flame-orange. The fur on its chest is bright yellow, and it has a white patch on its belly. Delphox's body is mainly covered in long, shaggy maroon fur, resembling a robe or dress, with bright orange flame-shaped patches on either side. Its long, thin arms are covered in fluffy maroon fur that appear to be the sleeves of its robe. It has large bright yellow ears with long orange fur tufts protruding from the inside; these fur tufts grow hotter when Delphox becomes excited. It has a bushy yellow distinctly foxlike tail.

Delphox has small clawed black feet and paws. It is dexterous with its hand-like paws, and can pick up objects, as it is seen with a flaming branch that it uses as a wand when fighting.

Behavior[]

Trainers are often struck by the considerable changes in personality their Fennekin have undergone once they become Delphox. While Fennekin tend to be temperamental and moody, Delphox are remarkably calm and collected. They retain their dedication to their trainers and drive to perform well that they had as Fennekin, however. Delphox carry wand-like sticks that they can ignite with psychic energy. When not in use, they store these sticks within the tufts of fur on their wrists. Delphox can stare at the fire at the tips of their branches to achieve a heightened state of focus and glance into the future. They can further focus their psychic energy on these flames to utilize the technique Mystical Fire or create flaming vortexes reaching 5,400 °F (3,000 °C), entrapping and incinerating foes within.

Even today, Delphox have remained a popular choice for trainers starting their journeys in the Kalos region because of their impressive grace and composure, both during and outside of battle.

Natural abilities[]

A Delphox uses its flaming branch as a wand to emit blasts of flame. One also uses pyromancy by gazing into the flame at the tip of its branch to achieve a focused state, allowing it to see into the future. Delphox can create vortexes of flame to sweep away their opponents.

Evolution[]

Delphox evolves from Braixen at level 36 and is the final evolved form of Fennekin.

Trivia[]

  • Delphox is the first fully evolved fire type Starter Pokémon since Generation II that isn't part fighting type.
  • At only base 69, Delphox has the lowest Attack of all fully evolved Starter Pokémon.
  • Delphox weighs 86 pounds, making it the lightest of all fully evolved Starter Pokémon.
  • Delphox and its pre-evolved forms are represented in the Chinese Zodiac alongside the rest of the current Fire-type starters; in Delphox's case, it would be the Dog zodiac.

Origin[]

Delphox is based on a fennec fox and kitsune, a fox from Japanese mythology that is associated with fire as well as having the ability to turn into beautiful women, possibly explaining Delphox's more anthropomorphic figure. It may also be based on kitsune-mochi, sorcerers who derive their powers from kitsune. Its fur design is also reminiscent of the cloaks of sorcerers. It may be based on the mage class in some RPG games as well.

Its witch-like characteristics and appearance, along with its Psychic typing, are possible references to common witch-hunts that involved burning a victim for the accused practice of witchcraft.

Etymology[]

Delphox comes from Delphic oracle and fox.

Its Japanese name, Mafokushī, comes from 魔法 (mahō, magic), fox, and foxy (literally meaning fox-like, figuratively meaning attractive and seductive, as its design invokes that of a human woman). It may also incorporate focus, as magic would likely involve a lot of mental focus and also due to its psychic typing.
