CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Facing an opponent, Blaziken releases flames from its wrists before striking. The more powerful the enemy, the fiercer these flames become, according to the Pokédex. Its legs let it leap over a thirty-storey building, then follow up with burning punches. This combination of spring and fire defines its fighting style. The entries also emphasise its courage: the strength of the opposition seems to fuel its momentum rather than restrain it.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Omega Ruby states that the flames on Blaziken’s wrists grow more intense before a powerful enemy. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire credits it with leaping over a thirty-storey building. These are two different aspects of its strength: the heat of its blows and the power of its legs.
