Ash's Fletchinder

• Nico's Fletchinder

Ash's Fletchling evolved into Fletchinder during a Sky Battle in the episode "Battles in the Sky!" It was later shown in battle with Korrina's Lucario where Lucario managed to defeat it.

Trivia

• Fletchinder is one of 4 dual-type Pokémon whose primary type is different from its pre-evolved form. The others are Steelix, Azurill, and Altaria.
• With 11 letters in its name, Fletchinder is the first Pokémon that took advantage of the increased character limit in Pokémon X & Y.

Origin

Fletchinder is based on a robin, specifically a Japanese robin. Its fire typing may be a pun on the flame robin. Fletchinder's coloration is also reverse of the flame robin, having a red body and gray chest rather than a gray body and gray chest.

Etymology

Fletchinder comes from fletch (a material in archery) and cinder or tinder.
