Torchic is a small, chick Pokémon with stubby, downy, yellow wings. Its body is covered with orange feathers. There is an orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a flame. Its two thin legs and short beak are a light brownish yellow, and the feet have three toes in front and one in the back. A male Torchic will have a small black speck on its rear that is not present in females.
Somewhere in its belly, this Pokémon has a place where it keeps a flame. This internal flame causes Torchic to feel warm if hugged. When attacked, it will shoot fireballs of 1,800 °F (1,000 °C) at its foes, leaving them scorched black. It dislikes darkness, as it cannot see its surroundings. Torchic will follow its Trainer with unsteady steps. While Torchic is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit grasslands.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
It was a popular starter in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, due to the fact that it eventually evolves into Blaziken, which is one of the few Pokémon to learn moves like Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut. After evolving, it gains a Fighting type, which can be good or bad. However, if the player keeps it as Torchic, it will learn Flamethrower, and if they evolve it, it will learn Double Kick and other physical moves. Since Pokémon X and Y, it gained a Mega Evolution.
Other Pokémon games[]
Super Smash Bros. series[]
It appears as a Pokéball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and when summoned sets an area on fire surrounding itself that damages the user's enemies. It also appears as a trophy. The following is Torchic's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

"A Chick Pokémon. It's a Fire type that has a flame sac in its belly where it produces fireballs reaching 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit--it shoots these out of its mouth. While Torchic is as cute as can be, it will evolve into the powerful Combusken when it levels up. It also then becomes a combination Fighting and Fire type."

Torchic is the only first stage of a First partner Pokémon that has a gender difference (though its own is very easily missed, being only a one-pixel difference).
It also is in the only First partner Pokémon evolutionary line in which all members have gender differences.
