About Blaziken: The Blaze Pokémon

Blaziken is known as the Blaze Pokémon. It evolves from Combusken when it reaches level 36. Blaziken is the final form of Torchic, which is a starter Pokémon.

Blaziken looks like it's wearing a sleeveless jacket. It has a V-shaped crest on its head. It also has long hair behind its head. Its face is mostly covered in feathers. Blaziken has strong, muscular legs. These legs help it jump very high, even up a skyscraper, with ease!

This Pokémon can make flames shoot from its wrists and ankles. It can use these flames to cover its feet or fists. Blaziken can also launch powerful fiery kicks at its opponents. Every few years, its old feathers burn off. Then, new, soft feathers grow back in their place.
