Centiskorch (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sizzlipede}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==

Due to its violent and belligerent nature, Centiskorch will attack anything that comes near it. When in battle, Centiskorch will rear up and use its long, hot body to attack, either by slamming its searing belly into opponents like a whip or constricting them with its body.<ref name=Centiskorch>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/centiskorch/ Centiskorch | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Scolipede}} is the natural predator or prey of Centiskorch, depending on who wins the territorial fight.

When Gigantamaxed, the number of segments and legs on Centiskorch's body increases, with a total of one hundred legs, allowing Centiskorch to move incredibly fast despite its immense size.<ref name=GmaxCentiskorch /> The underside of its body turns yellow, with light-yellow concentric circles inside each section of its body. The flames from its head and telson are larger and longer and have a lighter part at the center, similar to a "X". There are small diamond shapes that dot the topside of its body periodically. It retains the exclamation point on the top of its head, but its eyes are now red and white, with yellow irises. Three red clouds float above its telson.

Gigantamax Centiskorch is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Centiferno}}.

==Trivia==

* Centiskorch has the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] [[Gigantamax]] form.

* Despite the {{p|Scolipede}} and Centiskorch evolutionary families living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both {{p|Venipede}} and Scolipede's [[Pokédex]] entries speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
