Torracat (Japanese: ニャヒート Nyaheat) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Litten starting at level 17 and evolves into Incineroar starting at level 34.

Biology

The fire bell on Torracat's neck ringing

Torracat is a quadrupedal, feline Pokémon. Its upper half, which includes its tail, is covered mostly in dark gray fur, while the fur on its lower half is mostly reddish orange. On its back, a stripe of reddish orange fur runs down its spine, with other two smaller horizontal stripes going across it. A similar fur pattern is seen on Torracat's face, though now it moreso resembles an upside-down double cross: the vertical stripe extends up from its head, forming a short cowlick, and the lowest horizontal stripes tilt upwards into a V-shape above its eyes, forming its eyebrows. Its eyes have yellow irises and black pupils with a red tint at the bottom and are heavily outlined in black fur. Its ears are pointed up and have light gray fur at the base. It has a short muzzle, a tiny triangular white nose, and tufts of fur sprouting from each of its cheeks, which make up its mane. Its tail is thicker the farther away from the body and ends in several tufts of fur, giving the impression it has blown up. Its forelegs are more developed than its hind legs, capable of bending iron with a single blow. Each paw has three tows, with the front ones being larger and ending on short black claws. On its tail and legs, there are two rings of opposite-colored fur.

Hanging from Torracat's neck is a round, bell-like organ, which is yellow with an orange core. This fiery organ is actually Torracat's flame sac, which produces the flames it uses to attack; when it does so, the organ sometimes flares with wing-like projections to the sides. The fire bell responds to Torracat's emotions, blazing hotter according to its spirits, and rings brightly whenever it spews fire or in the heat of battle. As seen in the Pokémon the Series episode Exhibition Unmasked!, its fire bell is also capable of absorbing flames from outside sources and converting them into its own power. In addition, Torracat's mane acts as a sensory organ, allowing it to navigate in darkness and sense hidden foes. It is also an indicator of its wellbeing, standing on end when it is in a good mood and lying flat when it is not feeling well.

Torracat loves to battle, and its relentless onslaught causes others to lose the will to fight. Outside of battle, it sometimes behaves like a spoiled child in front of its Trainer and other Pokémon, showcasing a more affectionate side to itself in comparison to its pre-evolved form. It, however, still is fickle and fitted with sharp claws, leaving those it has grown to trust marked with scratches.

Name origin

Torracat may be a combination of torrid (very hot and dry), torrar (Portuguese and Spanish for "to roast" or "to toast"), or 虎 tora (Japanese for tiger), and cat.

Nyaheat may be a combination of ニャー nyā (meow), 火 hi (fire), and heat.
