Concept and characteristics[edit]


Blaziken, known as the Blaze Pokémon, evolves from Combusken at level 36, and is the final form
of Torchic. Blaziken appears as if it's wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. It has a crest on its
head with two points, which resembles a letter "V". It also has long hair behind its head and a small
face almost completely covered in feathers. Its thick, alluringly muscular legs help it jump up a
skyscraper with one kick and with ease.[1] It can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles,
cloaking its feet or fists. Blaziken also has spurs on its ankle which are similar to those used
in cockfighting, and has feathers that protrude prominently from his crotch region that resemble
a phallus in some games, especially in Pokkén Tournament. It may also launch a fiery kick at the
opponent.[2] Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in
their place.[3] An early concept design of Blaziken had it combined with Latias and had a trainer on its
back.[4]

Appearances[edit]
In the video games[edit]
Blaziken's first video game appearance is in the Game Boy Advance games Pokémon
Ruby and Sapphire.[5] It is the evolved form of Combusken, which evolves from Torchic. Torchic is
one of the three starting Pokémon in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha
Sapphire that players get to choose from along with Treecko and Mudkip. It has appeared in every
main Pokémon title since. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Torchic can be obtained
from Steven Stone after obtaining all 16 badges and beating the final boss, Red. Outside of the main
series, the three of them are featured in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, Pokémon Trozei!,
the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles, the Pokémon Ranger titles, Pokémon Channel, and PokéPark
Wii: Pikachu's Adventure. Blaziken is one of several Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y that are able to
use the Mega Evolution mechanic, becoming Mega Blaziken,[6][7] though doing so is only possible by
acquiring the special event Mega Stone "Blazikenite", only obtainable by downloading a special
event Torchic to the game. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Blazikenite is
obtained from Steven Stone in the main game if the player's starter Pokémon is Torchic. Blaziken
appears as a playable fighter in Pokkén Tournament. Aside from games in the Pokémon franchise,
Blaziken appears as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In the anime[edit]
In the animated film Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, which takes place in the Hoenn Region, a Blaziken
is owned by Rafe. Another character in the Hoenn Region, May, obtains a Torchic, which eventually
evolves into Combusken and finally into a Blaziken, while trying to stop Team Rocket from stealing
Ash's Pikachu and some other Pokémon. May then uses Blaziken in the Battle Phase against
Ash's Sceptile.[8] In the Sinnoh region, May's Blaziken battles alongside Dawn's Piplup in tag battles.
[9]
 A Blaziken appears in Kalos, under the ownership of Blaziken Mask, where it saves Ash and
Pikachu after Mega Evolving. A Blaziken is also owned by Gurkinn, the grandfather of Korrina, the
fighting type gym leader in Kalos. This Blaziken fights against Korrina's Lucario.

In the manga[edit]
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Sapphire receives a Torchic (nicknamed Chic) from her
father, Professor Birch which eventually evolves into Combusken and finally into Blaziken in a bout
against Winona. It is Sapphire's most trusted team member, and is used in almost every single major
battle she had. It teams up with Ruby's "Mumu" in a double battle against Archie and Maxie at
Seafloor Cavern. In the Emerald arc, Chic is Sapphire's most used Pokémon in the numerous Battle
Dome and Battle Tower battles, and it learns the ultimate fire attack, Blast Burn, from Kimberly's
metal ring.
