Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfighting}} chicken, specifically the Japanese {{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}} breed, known for its upright posture and having a mane on the nape of its neck. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two Ancient Egyptian deities with hawk faces. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|basan}}, a fire-breathing chicken, or possibly the {{wp|Karura}}. It is somewhat based on the {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|Phoenix}}, a mythical bird of fire. | Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfighting}} chicken, specifically the Japanese {{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}} breed, known for its upright posture and having a mane on the nape of its neck.
