Torchic is a Fire-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Combusken starting at level 16, who evolves into Blaziken starting at level 36.
Torchic are small baby birds that are covered in orange and yellow downy feathers. Their wings are underdeveloped and are almost useless aside keeping the Pokémon warm. Their legs and feet however are well developed for running and scratching. They also have a crest on their heads which vaguely resembles a flame. They also possess a flame sac much like other fire Pokémon: Vulpix and Flareon.
Male Torchic have a very small black speck on their rears. Females do not have this mark.
Being a young Pokémon, Torchic are naturally curious and are very inquisitive about things. Thus, they need someone to guide them and to train them. They will follow their trainer with unsteady steps. Individual personalities range from meek to headstrong. Torchic apparently don't like the dark because they can't see what's in front of them.
Torchic is rare in the wild, and is most likely to be found under the possession of Trainers that choose it as a starter. However, in the wild it is most likely to be found in Hoenn.
