Blaziken (), known as in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and the evolved form of Combusken, which evolves from Torchic. It first appears in the Pokémon: Master Quest anime episode Pop Goes the Sneasel. It is later available in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, with Torchic being one of the first Pokémon available to the player. Since their initial appearance, they have appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. It is classified as both a Fire and Fighting-type Pokémon, and is given a new form called Mega Blaziken in Pokémon X and Y.

Blaziken was the first design created for Ruby and Sapphire, designed by Ken Sugimori who intended to see if people would accept a humanoid Pokémon. It was also intended to be seen as an ugly Pokémon, meant to reference colored chicks once they grow up. It is capable of fighting with kicks and punches, creating fire from its wrists and jumping large distances. It appears in the Pokémon TV series before the release of Ruby and Sapphire, and the character May eventually obtained one through evolving her Starter Pokémon.
