Combusken (Japanese: ワカシャモ Wakasyamo) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon.
It evolves from Torchic starting at level 16, and evolves into Blaziken starting at level 36.
Biology
Physiology
Combusken is a Pokémon that trains so that when it evolves, it has all the power and strength it needs. It has a feather crest on top of its head with three points. It also seems that it wears a long-sleeved jacket. It has bulging thighs that seem big compared to its body ratio. Their legs are capable of devastating kicks and it has three razor-sharp claws that can cut down trees in a single slash.
Gender differences
A female has a smaller feather crest.
Special abilities
Combusken is known as the young fowl Pokémon. One of their specialties is Double Kick.
Behavior
Wild Combusken comb through heated plains, rolling hills, slopes and mountains in search of food. They travel in small flocks of 7 to 10 Pokémon. They are often found traveling with Torchic. Whenever possible, Combusken take the opportunity to compete against other fighting type Pokémon, to hone their kicking skills.
They are very noisy and can often be heard squawking. In the mornings and in battle, their sharp cries can be heard for miles around.
Habitat
Combusken are usually found in grasslands and plains. They are sometimes found in the hills or mountains though.

In the anime
Combusken first appeared in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Nurse Joy of Slateport City was keeping a Torchic, Treecko and Mudkip for a girl who was going to start being a Trainer. The Torchic evolved and had to be hidden. After the Combusken saved a Wailord, Nurse Joy decided to keep it as a guard for her Pokémon Center.
May's Torchic evolved into a Combusken in A Shroomish Skirmish, and long after into a Blaziken in Once More with Reeling!
