Appearances

Anime

Ash's Fletchinder

• 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. However, its hunting method of flushing out prey by setting fire to grass is very similar to real-life birds like black kites. Often known as 'firehawks,' black kites sometimes hunt by carrying burning sticks and deliberately setting wildfires. If the prey doesn't get burned alive, the birds will often chase them out of the foliage, much like Fletchinder does.

Etymology

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