Torchic (Japanese: アチャモ, Hepburn: Achamo) (TOR-chick) is the Fire-type First partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region.

Biology

Physiology

Torchic is a small, chick-like Pokémon. Its soft, fluffy plumage is mainly bright orange, with tiny, yellow, developing wings, and a yellow plume of three feathers atop its head. It has a small, tan beak, and large, black eyes. It has tan-colored talons with three digits.

Gender differences

Male Torchic have a black spot on their back (somewhere near the rear end), but it's a little hard to see it.

Behavior

Torchic are very loyal and dependent on its Trainer, following behind them everywhere they would go. They are also afraid of the dark, and will begin crying if left alone at night. Many trainers find their behavior cute, however, and thus choose Torchic as their First partner Pokémon in Hoenn.Trainers who have raised Torchic describe embracing them as “like hugging fluffy bottles of hot water;” luckily for Torchic, who are often afraid of sleeping alone, their likeness to warm stuffed plushies also means that most trainers have little problem sleeping alongside them. Their cuteness and quirkiness make them consistently popular choices as First partner Pokémon in Hoenn.

Special abilities

Torchic have a fireball blazing inside its belly. When hugged, it fills its trainer with soothing warmth, as if they are holding a hot-water bottle. It can use the flame in its belly to exhale orbs of searing fire at its opponents. The fireballs that Torchic spits are of 1,800 degrees F, leaving its foes utterly scorched.

Evolution

Torchic evolves into Combusken at level 16 and then into Blaziken at level 36; it turns into Mega Blaziken with a Blazikenite that Steven Stone gives you on Route 120.
