Blaziken (Japanese: バシャーモ Bursyamo) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon.

It evolves from Combusken starting at level 36. It is the final form of Torchic.

Biology

Physiology

Blaziken is mostly red in coloration, with accentuations of beige, yellow, and gray. Blaziken appears to have long, beige-colored, hairlike feathers extending behind its head, continuing downward to envelop some of its chest and abdomen. Blaziken’s small, red-colored face is almost completely covered in feathers. It has a crest on its head with two points, which resembles the letter "V". Blaziken has three spiky extensions on the sides of its face, much like Gardevoir’s. Blaziken’s eyes are semicircular in shape, with yellow scleras and blue irises, and Blaziken's mouth is a hooked beak. The continuation of the "hair" from its head on its chest and abdomen makes Blaziken appear as if it's wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. Blaziken’s strong, muscular legs give it immense lower body strength, helping its kicking and jumping abilities. Blaziken has three fingers on each hand, resembling that of a normal chicken’s feet, with what appears to be gray-colored wristband-like markings on its wrists. Blaziken has, although rarely seen due to the shaggy feathers on the bottom of its legs, three clawed toes. Blaziken has a tuft of fire above its wrist and in combat with another Pokémon, it burns intensely as it becomes weary or stronger.

Gender differences

A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" is also smaller.

Special abilities

It can leap over a skyscraper with a single jump. It can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, cloaking its feet or fists. The stronger the foe it faces, the more intensely its flames burn. It may also launch a fiery kick at the opponent.

Behavior

It learns martial arts that use punches and kicks. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place.

Blaziken in the anime

Blaziken was first seen in Pop Goes The Sneasel. Harrison used it to defeat the Sneasel that was blocking access to the flame of Ho-Oh. Harrison later used Blaziken in a climactic battle with Ash's Charizard.

Blaziken was also seen in Destiny Deoxys under the ownership of Rafe.

In Once More with Reeling, May's Combusken evolved into a Blaziken. She brought it with her to Johto, and it was one of the Pokémon she used when she returned in A Full Course Tag Battle!.

Another Blaziken appeared in Last Call, First Round!. It was used with a Sceptile in a coordinator's appeal.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry EP265 Blaziken Ash's Pokédex No available data. EP271 Blaziken Ash's Pokédex Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon. Blaziken is able to easily leap over 30 story buildings with its great lower body strength.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry AG191 Blaziken Ash's Pokédex Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon. When it meets a powerful enemy, fire burns around its arms and legs. Its powerful legs are strong enough to leap over buildings.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP076 Blaziken Dawn's Pokédex Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon and the evolved form of Combusken. Flames surround to come out of its wrists, making its punches extremely damaging and dangerous.

In the manga

Sapphire owned a Combusken that evolved to Blaziken in Vs. Altaria when she met up with Winona. Although it was unable to win her the battle even with its increased power, subsequent training allowed it to earn her the badge and back Archie and Maxie's Pokémon into a corner twice, the second time utilizing its newly learned Sky Uppercut in conjunction with Zuzu's Muddy Water.

In the Emerald arc, it was again seen in Sapphire's team being used to fight her way into the top floor of the Battle Tower and soon learned the ultimate attack Blast Burn.

Trivia

• Blaziken is the lightest final form of a starter Pokémon, weighing 114.6 pounds (52.0 kilograms).
• Blaziken is the third Generation III Pokémon to appear in anime episodes (the first was Kecleon; the second, Wynaut) and one of the very few Generation III Pokémon to appear before the first episode of Advance Generation. It is also the only starter Pokémon from the main series to appear in the anime before its generation saga began.
• Blaziken can learn Brave Bird despite not being of the Template:Type2, due to being based on a chicken.
• Despite being based on a bird, because of its type, Blaziken is weak against Flying moves. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form Combusken.
• Blaziken is the only final form of a Hoenn Starter Pokémon that wasn't shown in the Ever Grande Conference. A Swampert was used by Morrison while a Sceptile was used by Tyson.
  • However, one owned by Harrison was used in the Silver Conference, where it was the only Hoenn Starter to be used in.
• It is the only Pokémon to learn Blaze Kick by leveling up and get STAB from the move. The only other Pokémon to learn it is Hitmonlee, a pure Template:Type2.
• A pre-alpha sketch depicts an unused Pokémon with the traits of both a Blaziken and a Latias.
• Blaziken is the only fully evolved Hoenn starter to appear in Pokepark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
• Blaziken is the only fully evolved Fire-type starter Pokémon not to have a flame on its body or head.

Origin

Blaziken is probably based on a cockfighting chicken. It bears resemblance to Horus and Ra, two Ancient Egyptian deities with hawk faces. Blaziken may also be based on the basan, a fire-breathing chicken, or possibly the Karura.

Name origin

Blaziken's name is a combination of blaze and chicken. Bashamo is likely a combination of burst or burn and 軍鶏 shamo, a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Lohgock French Brasegali From brasier and galliformes, the order of birds that contains chickens. Korean 번치코 Beonchiko Chinese (Taiwan) 火焰雞 Huǒ Yàn Jī Literally "Blazing chicken".
