Blaziken

() is the /-type First partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III. From Generation VI onwards it can Mega Evolve.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blaziken is a large, bipedal, humanoid bird-like or a humanoid chicken-like Pokémon that resembles a rooster. Its face, lower body, arms, and tail are bright red, with some yellow patches on its chest, and running down its legs and feet. It has a tan-colored plume of feathers surrounding its face and chest, like a mane. Two long, tan feathery plumes stem from the back of Blaziken's head. It has blue eyes with yellow sclera. Its mouth is beak-like and hooked, with small nostrils, and it has a V-shaped crest on its forehead. Its arms are long, with sharp, gray claws. It has gray claws at the bases of its yellow-feathered feet. It has a small, pointed red tail.
===Gender differences===
A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" is also smaller.
=== Behavior ===
The stronger Blazikens' foes are, the more determined Blaziken are to defeat them. Every few years, their feathers burn off from repeated exposure to fire. However, newer, softer ones regrow in their place. These feathers are important because they help Blaziken regulate their body temperatures; when they burn up, they must rest and refrain from using their fire powers until they regrow. Their awesome power and speed make Blaziken strong choices for First partner Pokémon in Hoenn.
===Natural Abilities===
Blaziken can leap incredible heights, actually being able to effortlessly transcend a 30-story building with their outstanding leg strength. They can also produce flames spout from their wrists and ankles, shrouding their feet and fists, and practices a form of martial art with these abilities to overwhelm the enemy within battle. The stronger the foe they face, the more intensely their flames burn.
==Evolution==
Blaziken is the evolved form of Combusken at level 36 and is the final evolutionary form of the First partner Pokémon, Torchic. Blaziken can further evolve into Mega Blaziken using the Blazikenite.

===Origin===
Blaziken is based on a fighting rooster or chicken, notably the which were prized in Japan for their prowess, that is bred for cockfighting. It might also draw inspiration from the Japanese myth of the , which is depicted as a giant fire-breathing chicken, or , arrogant birdlike goblins with red faces.
===Etymology===
Blaziken's name is a combination of the words "blazing" (extended from “blaze”) and "chicken". The "ken" in its name may also come from 拳, a kanji meaning "fist," which can be read as "ken." This is also the etymology of the Street Fighter series' Ken's name and said character may also be part of Blaziken's etymology, as both are fighters associated with fire. This connection may be backed up by its moveset in Pokkén Tournament, as Blaziken has several moves where it throws fireballs (Ken's Hadōken), it has the move Sky Uppercut (Ken's Shōryūken), and it has a spinning kick move (Ken's Tatsumaki Senpūkyaku).
