'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Braixen}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

==Biology==
Delphox is a bipedal, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in a coat of long fur that resembles a robe. This "robe" is primarily dark red with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees. There is also a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, which is flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe". Its head is yellow with longer white fur on its cheeks. It has red eyes and a slender snout with a pinkish nose. Three tufts of red-orange fur protrude out of each ear. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand. When in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its wand to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius). Delphox uses the stick to leave burn marks on the ground. In ancient times, people used the shapes of Delphox's burn marks for divination.

===Evolution===
Delphox evolves from {{p|Braixen}} and is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Aria Delphox.png|thumb|250px|Delphox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Aria's Delphox]]====
{{an|Aria}}'s Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox sometime before ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. She is her main Pokémon, and she helped her keep the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} with her performance in the {{ci|Gloire}} {{pkmn|Showcase}} Master Class.

====[[Serena's Delphox]]====
Serena's Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.

====Other====
Delphox debuted in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Wylie]]. It was sent out to battle {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in order to settle a quarrel with {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}, but the {{pkmn|battle}} ultimately ended in a draw.

A Delphox appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It is her main Pokémon, used to assist her in her thievery.

[[Serena's Braixen]] appeared as Delphox in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Delphox appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when it evolved from Fennekin and Braixen.

==In the manga==

===Movie adaptations===
[[Merilyn]] owns a Delphox in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}'', serving the same role as in the eponymous {{pkmn|movie}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Whitley's Delphox}}
After {{adv|Trevor}} lost the {{p|Fennekin}} he was given from [[Professor Sycamore]], she was taken by [[Malva]] after finding her Poké Ball put into box filled with other Pokémon gathered from [[Vaniville Town]]. After some time, she evolved into a {{p|Braixen}}. Prior to ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', she evolved into a Delphox. Following [[Team Flare]]'s defeat, {{adv|Trevor}} took Delphox under his care. She was later given to {{adv|Whitley}}. Due to the absence of a third [[Kalos]]-centered [[core series]] game, Delphox became the first fully evolved first partner Pokémon to be owned by an antagonist in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

A Delphox appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]''.

** In Japanese, the hiragana category "きつねポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by the evolutionary lines of Vulpix and Nickit, while the katakana version "キツネポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by Fennekin and its evolutions.

===Origin===
Delphox's [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> specifically resembling the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|kitsune}} and {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, {{wp|Witchcraft|witches}} in Japanese folklore that inherit their powers from foxes. Additionally, the wand-like branch it utilizes for battles is likely a reference to {{wp|European witchcraft}} and robe-like fur and 'sleeves' derived from {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}}, while its prophetic abilities may be based on {{wp|oracles}}. Delphox and its pre-evolutions may also draw inspiration from the mage {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which uses various powerful magical spells to attack their opponents, while sacrificing brute physical strength.

Its witch-like characteristics and appearance, along with its {{t|Fire}} typing, are possible references to common {{wp|witch-hunt}}s that involved burning a victim for the accused practice of witchcraft.

====Name origin====
Delphox may be a combination of ''{{wp|Pythia|Delphic oracle}}'' and ''fox''.

Mahoxy may be a combination of 魔導師 ''madōshi'' (mage), 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic), ''fox'', and ''foxy''.
