Fennekin (Japanese: フォッコ Fokko) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Braixen starting at level 16, which evolves into Delphox at level 36.

Along with Chespin and Froakie, Fennekin is one of three starter Pokémon of Kalos available at the beginning of Pokémon X and Y.

Along with Chespin, Froakie, Xerneas, and Yveltal, it was the first Generation VI Pokémon to be revealed to the public, being revealed on January 8, 2013 as part of the Pokémon Direct broadcast.

Biology

Fennekin is a quadruped, fox-like Pokémon. It is covered in pale yellow fur that is longer on its haunches. Tufts of dark orange fur cover the insides of its large ears, and it has a white muzzle with longer fur on its cheeks. Hot air is vented from its ears, reaching temperatures of over 390 degrees Fahrenheit. It has large, dark orange eyes and a pointed black nose. Fennekin has small paws with no visible toes and slim legs. Its tail is fluffy with a dark orange tip. Instead of eating snack, Fennekin will chew on twigs. Fennekin can be temperamental, but it tries to do its best for its Trainer.
