Behavior
Wild Combusken roam heated fields and cragged mountains and rolling hills, even deep inside pitch-black caves looking for powerful fighting type Pokémon, even in defeat their highly respected foes.

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 Pokémon 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!
