Torchic known as the Chick Pokémon, is the Fire-type starting Pokémon in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald. In the anime, May choses a playful Torchic as her starter Pokémon because she considers it to be cute. She often uses it in battles, but avoids using it in Pokémon Contests until it evolves. The protagonist of a 6-part manga series called Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team transformed into a Torchic. Torchic is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Pokémon that can be released from a Poké Ball during battle. It engulfs nearby battlers with flames it radiates from its body by using Fire Spin.
Torchic are described by the in-game Pokédexes of the Pokémon video games as being covered by a fluffy coat of down. Their wings are small and rudimentary; however, as Torchic evolve into their later forms, Combusken and Blaziken, claws slowly protrude from their wingtips, making them potentially vicious fighters. They are small, clumsy birds, with yellowish feathers and orange bodies.
In the Pokémon universe, Torchic are known for disliking darkness because it prevents them from seeing their surroundings, regardless of their proficiency with fire techniques which can illuminate the dark. Before Torchic's legs develop fully, they stay with their Pokémon trainer, following behind with unsteady, hopping steps while they learn to walk properly. They also have a sac filled with churning fire deep within their stomach, allowing them to give literal "warm hugs" to their trainers.
This powerful fire also serves as their "ammunition" in battles; when attacked, they retaliate by spitting fire, at temperatures of over 1,800 degrees.
