[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Torchic (Japanese: アチャモ Achamo) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Combusken starting at level 16, who evolves into Blaziken starting at level 36.
Along with Treecko and Mudkip, it is one of three starter Pokémon players can choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
Biology
Physiology
Torchic are small baby birds that are covered in orange and yellow downy feathers. Their wings are underdeveloped and are almost useless aside keeping the Pokémon warm. Their legs and feet however are well developed for running and scratching. They also have a crest on their heads which vaguely resembles a flame. They also possess a flame sac much like other fire Pokémon like Vulpix and Flareon.
Gender differences
Male Torchic have a very small black speck on their rears. Females do not have this mark.
Special abilities
Like many Template:Type2s, Torchic is able to breathe fire from its beak.
Behavior
Being a young Pokémon, Torchic are naturally curious and are very inquisitive about things. Thus, they need someone to guide them and to train them. They will follow their trainer with unsteady steps. Individual personalities range from meek to headstrong. Torchic apparently don't like the dark because they can't see what's in front of them.
Habitat
Diet

In the anime
Harrison started off with a Torchic that he received from Professor Birch. It is now a Blaziken.
May has a Blaziken that she obtained as a Torchic in Get the Show on the Road!. It evolved into Combusken in A Shroomish Skirmish, and then into Blaziken in Once More with Reeling.
Ash, Max and Brock were given the task of watching over a trio of Hoenn starter Pokémon for Nurse Joy while May was practicing with her Beautifly in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Torchic of that three managed to evolve and had to be hidden.
A Torchic made a brief cameo in Setting the World on its Buneary.
In the manga
Like her anime counterpart, Sapphire also received a Torchic (nicknamed Toro) from her father Professor Birch, but, unlike May's, it isn't a crybaby, and loves battles like its Trainer. Toro evolved in Dewford Town during a battle that Sapphire was having against Brawly.
