Torchic (Japanese: アチャモ Achamo) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Combusken starting at level 16, which evolves into Blaziken starting at level 36.

Along with Treecko and Mudkip, Torchic is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Hoenn available at the beginning of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire.

Biology

Torchic is a small, chick Pokémon with stubby, downy, yellow wings. Its body is covered with orange feathers and a fluffy coat of down. There is an orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a flame. Its two thin legs and short beak are a light brownish yellow, and the feet have three toes in front and one in the back. A male Torchic will have a small black speck on its rear that is not present in females.

Within Torchic's belly, this Pokémon has a flame sac filled with a burning fire. This internal flame causes Torchic to feel warm if hugged. The warmth feels similar to a warm water bottle. As long as Torchic is alive, the internal flame will burn continuously. When attacked, it will shoot fireballs of 1,800 °F (1,000 °C) at its foes, leaving them scorched black. It dislikes darkness, as it cannot see its surroundings. Torchic will follow its Trainer with unsteady steps. While Torchic is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit grasslands. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy.

Evolution

Torchic evolves into Combusken, which evolves into Blaziken.

Trophy information

"A Chick Pokémon. It's a Fire-type that has a flame sac in its belly where it produces fireballs reaching 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit--it shoots these out of its mouth. While Torchic is as cute as can be, it evolves into the powerful Combusken when it levels up. It also then becomes a Fire and Fighting combination."

Trivia

Concept Art of Torchic

Concept art from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire portrays a different Torchic design, with large floppy ears and a flame-shaped marking on the back of its head.
Torchic is the only first stage of a first partner Pokémon that has a gender difference (though its own is very easily missed, being only a one-pixel difference).
- It also is in the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line in which all members have gender differences.
Torchic is the only first partner Pokémon to consist only of a head and legs.

Origin

Torchic is based on a chicken hatchling. In particular, Torchic's bright orange coloration is based on painted chicks, which are chicks whose feathers are dyed with paint and are typically sold during festivals and fairs.^[1] It may also be specifically based on the basan, a legendary fire-breathing chicken in Japanese folklore.

Torchic's gender difference may be based on vent sexing, a chick sexing technique that originated in Japan, where feces is squeezed out of the chick in order to open its cloaca, allowing the chick sexer to observe whether it has a bump inside its cloaca. Normally only male chicks have this bump.

Name origin

Torchic may be a combination of torch and chick (a baby bird).

Achamo may be a combination of 赤ちゃん akachan (baby) and 軍鶏 shamo (a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting).

+'''Torchic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アチャモ''' ''Achamo'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].
-'''Torchic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アチャモ''' ''Achamo'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon.  Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] players can choose from at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
+It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Combusken}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Blaziken}} starting at [[level]] 36.
-Torchic comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
+Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Torchic is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].
 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+Torchic is a small, chick {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with stubby, downy, yellow wings. Its body is covered with orange feathers and a fluffy coat of down. There is an orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a flame. Its two thin legs and short beak are a light brownish yellow, and the feet have three toes in front and one in the back. A male Torchic will have a small black speck on its rear that is not present in females.
-Torchic are small baby birds that are covered in red 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 {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Flareon}}.
-====Gender differences====
-Male Torchic have a very small black speck on their rears. Females do not have this mark.
-====Special abilities====
+Within Torchic's belly, this Pokémon has a flame sac filled with a burning fire. This internal flame causes Torchic to feel warm if hugged. The warmth feels similar to a warm water bottle. As long as Torchic is alive, the internal flame will burn continuously. When attacked, it will shoot fireballs of 1,800&nbsp;°F (1,000&nbsp;°C) at its foes, leaving them scorched black. It dislikes darkness, as it cannot see its surroundings. Torchic will follow its {{pkmn|Trainer}} with unsteady steps. While Torchic is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.  It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].
-===Behavior===
+===Evolution===
-===Habitat===
+Torchic evolves into {{p|Combusken}}, which evolves into {{p|Blaziken}}.

-===Diet===

-==In the anime==
-[[Image:May's Torchic.jpg|thumb|Torchic in the anime]]
-{{an|May}} has a {{TP|May|Blaziken}} that she obtained as a Torchic in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Combusken}} in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', and then into Blaziken in ''[[AG190|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 [[May's Beautifly|her Beautifly]] in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''. The Torchic of that three managed to evolve and had to be hidden.
-==In the manga==
-Like her anime [[inter-media counterparts|counterpart]], {{Special|Sapphire}} also received a Torchic (nicknamed Chaka) from her father [[Professor Birch]], but, unlike May's, it isn't a crybaby, and loves battles like its trainer. Chaka evolved in [[Dewford Town]] during a battle that Sapphire was having against [[Brawly]].
-==In the TCG==
-{{main|Torchic (TCG)}}
-==In the TFG==

 ==Trivia==
-* Torchic and its evolutions are the only {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] without an actual flame on them anywhere. In addition, it is also the only Fire starter Pokémon whose English name didn't start with a '''C''' and who's Japanese name didn't start with '''ヒ''' ''hi''.
+[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|thumb|250px|Concept Art of Torchic]]
-* Torchic has the lightest weight of all the basic forms of the [[Starter Pokémon|starters]].
+* Concept art from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} portrays a different Torchic design, with large floppy ears and a flame-shaped marking on the back of its head.
-* Torchic is the only fire starter that {{Ash}} has never owned. (He owned a [[Ash's Charizard|Charmander]], a {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and, recently, a {{AP|Chimchar}}).
+* Torchic is the only first stage of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] (though its own is very easily missed, being only a one-pixel difference).
-* Torchic is the only starter Pokémon (besides {{p|Pikachu}}) allowed inside [[Amity Square]].
+** It also is in the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line in which all members have gender differences.
-* Torchic is also the first starter Pokémon based on a bird. The second is {{p|Piplup}}.
+* Torchic is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
-* Even though Torchic has no arms, it is able to learn {{m|Mega Punch}} by tutoring in {{game|Emerald}}.
 ===Origin===
-It appears to have been based on a {{wp|chicken}} hatchling.
+Torchic is based on a {{wp|chicken}} hatchling. In particular, Torchic's bright orange coloration is based on painted chicks, which are chicks whose feathers are dyed with paint and are typically sold during festivals and fairs.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It may also be specifically based on the {{wp|Basan (legendary bird)|basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken in Japanese folklore.
+Torchic's gender difference may be based on {{wp|Chick sexing#Vent sexing|vent sexing}}, a {{wp|chick sexing}} technique that originated in Japan, where feces is squeezed out of the chick in order to open its {{wp|cloaca}}, allowing the chick sexer to observe whether it has a bump inside its cloaca. Normally only male chicks have this bump.
 ====Name origin====
-Torchic's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|torch}}'' and ''chick''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 赤子 ''akago'', baby, and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'', a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.
+Torchic may be a combination of ''{{wp|torch}}'' and ''chick'' (a baby bird).
+Achamo may be a combination of 赤ちゃん ''akachan'' (baby) and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'' (a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting).
