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. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Blaziken using the Blazikenite.
Biology
Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like Pokémon. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's eyes are semicircular with yellow sclera and blue irises, and its mouth is similar to hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.
Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of martial art. These combined abilities allow it to use its former signature move, Blaze Kick. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place.
As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings, and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer, as well.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Chic
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 Mumu'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 Fire-type attack; Blast Burn.

Trivia
Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon
Origin
Blaziken is probably based on a cockfighting chicken, specifically the Japanese shamo breed, known for its upright posture and having a mane on the nape of its neck. The feathery legs resemble those of Cochin chickens. 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. It is somewhat based on the phoenix, a mythical bird of fire. This would be in reference to the fact that its feathers burn off every few years. Considering its flame and avian based origin, it may have been based on the taimatsu-maru, which are raptor or tengu-like creatures that trailed flames.
Name origin
Blaziken is a combination of blaze and chicken.
Bursyamo may be a combination of burst or burn and 軍鶏 shamo, a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.
