User:Blake/Torchic

Torchic (アチャモ, Achamo) is one of the fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multibillion-dollar Pokémon media franchise.[1] The purpose of Torchic in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2] The name Torchic refers to both the overall species, and to individual Mudkip within the games, anime and manga series.

Known as the chick Pokémon, Torchic first appeared in 2003 in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as one of three starter Pokémon the player can choose from at the beginning of the games.[3] Torchic have appeared on the boxart for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, Pokémon Channel, and Pokémon Dash.
