Combusken (Japanese: ワカシャモ Wakasyamo) is a Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Biology

Combusken trains its legs by running up and down mountains. It also cuts down trees to strengthen its claws.

Physiology

Combusken is a Pokémon that trains so when it evolves, it has all the power and strength it needs. It has a feather crest on top of its head with 3 points. It also seems that it wears a long-sleeved jacket. It has bulging thighs that seem big compared to its body ratio. It has 3 razor-sharp claws that can cut down trees in a single slash.

Gender differences

A female has a smaller feather crest.

Combusken in the anime

Combusken first appeared in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Nurse Joy of Slateport City was keeping a Torchic, Treecko and Mudkip for a girl who was going to start being a Pokémon trainer. The Torchic evolved and had to be hidden. After the Combusken saved a Wailord, Nurse Joy decided to keep it as a guard for her Pokémon Center.

May's Torchic evolved into a Combusken in A Shroomish Skirmish, and soon after into a Blaziken in Once More with Reeling!
