Crested Combuskens are a northern breed, found in icy habitats which are odd homes for fire types. Their environment has developed their plumage to grow thick, while a lack of predators allows many colors (though muted).
Contrary to how most birds are, females are the more vibrant of the two. Males lack the green-blue pigmentation on their crests and tails.
However, in recent years, populations have been decreasing in the wild. It is only because of breeding and participation in the contest community that the overall numbers of this species has been steady.

Tyler took a deep breath and let the ashy air calm her. Bring a fire-type, the smoke and soot didn’t affect her breathing as it would have any other Pokemon. She blinked for a moment, trying to collect herself. Ever since she had evolved, she had felt a strange urge to come here…
And with every step she took, the urge grew stronger. Where was she even going? All she knew was the name of the place: Reversal Mountain.She frowned and thought back to how she left. She didn’t want to leave her mother so soon after becoming a Combusken, but…
The urge was like a bad itch she just couldn’t ignore. It still hurt to remember that day…

These two are actually quite stable together. Though Ete’s over-the-top jolliness may shine through, it’s Nova’s reserved qualities that keep them in line.
“Let’s make a promise.” shiny chick responded to Nova quietly.
“A promise?”
“Yea!” Ra said with a nod. “Let’s promise to each other to never evolve into Blazikens and stay as Combuskens forever. Just you and me!”
"Forever?”
Nova glanced at the sunset and thought for a minute. Forever.. that’s a long time. Just a moment ago they were laughing at Blazikens and joked about how they don’t ever want to become ones themselves, but she didn’t think Ra would actually take it seriously. “Oh, gee, I dunno, Ra.. Are you sure you want dat?”
“Yea, I’m pretty sure! Aren’t you?”
“I dunno, Ra..” red chick repeated hesitantly as she turned her head to her friend.
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you don’t want to be a Blaziken yourself.”
“Yea, but what if I change mah mind? Like, when Im older and stuff.”
“Oh come on, Sunshine!” Ra got up on his feet and spread his wings around. “Just think about it! We’ll be the coolest Combusken duo around while everyone else will be tall and awkward Blazikens. We’ll be the best! Whadda ya think?” he asked as he stood right in front of her.
Nova chuckled kindly. He looked so excited with his little idea of them staying as Combusken, she thought that maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea. After all, Combuskens are definitely better than Blazikens!
Nova slowly got up and grinned to Ra. “Okay, okay, Shortcake, let’s be Combuskens together!”
“You promise??”
“Yea.
I promise”

“I don’t really plan on evolving.
I’m, umm.. pretty happy with being a Combusken, actually.”
Presumed extinct in the wild, enthusiasts have been working to preserve the Wild type torchic in captivity. Skittish and flighty when young, and unruly and willful as an adult, this pokemon is difficult to work with. Despite this, the breed has gained great popularity in the battle circuit in recent years.
Silkie, Ability: Fur Coat
The Silkie’s gentle nature makes it unpopular for battle, but it is often kept as a pet or contest pokemon. It has a strong parental instinct and is often used by pokemon breeders to incubate eggs and care for baby pokemon. The breed is famous for its extraordinarily soft, fur-like plumage and its black flesh and bones. It is also distinguished by its small size and the extra digit it bears on each limb.
Standard, Ability: Blaze
One of the first pokemon domesticated in Hoenn. A reliable pokemon that performs well in battle due to its strong fighting instinct, but is docile enough to be kept by children.
Showgirl, Ability: Fur Coat
A recently created breed, the Showgirl closely resembles its Silkie ancestor, save for its bald face and neck, and its even smaller size. Despite the name, this breed has the same gender ratio as other torchics.
Malay, Ability: Intimidate
The great size and fearsome expression of this breed makes it an intimidating pokemon. It has a fearless temperament that makes it well suited to use in battle or as a guard pokemon. Muscular and leggy, this breed stands upwards of seven feet high.
I took 4 days on this, but it was fun to create the shapes and colors. *u* I love chickens and Combusken (torchic line in general), so I felt the need to do this~I used my Pokesona MC for the Hoenn Combusken model!
