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, and practices a form of martial art with these abilities. 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.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

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 chapter, 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.

In the TCG

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 Flying-type, 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 Fighting-type.
• 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 PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
• Blaziken is the only fully evolved Fire-type starter Pokémon not to have a flame on its body or head.
  • However, it can loose flames from it's wrists.

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. It is somewhat based on the Phoenix, a mythical bird of fire.

Name origin

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

In other languages
