Blazard (Japanese: トカエン Tokaen) is a dual-typed Fire/Steel Powermon.

It evolves into Raptorch at level 17, and into Py-Rex at level 35. 

Biology

Physiology

Blazard is a small red-orange reptilian Pokemon that can stand on two legs or on all fours. It has a great resemblance to Charmander, but its head, back, and tail are covered in segmented gray armor with white spikes on the head and tail, and black trim on the limbs, neck, waist, and tail. It has two pipes on its back, and one on the tail which releases a small flame. Its large eyes are yellow with red irises, and it has a protruding tooth on each side of its jaw.

Gender Differences

None.

Special abilities

Because of its internal furnace, Blazard can shoot incredibly powerful flames from its pipes and mouth. Its constant proximity to heat also makes it resistant to fire, and it can survive temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius. It can also use Steel-type attacks, such as Metal Claw, in which it uses claws made of steel to slash at its foes, or Iron Defense, in which it hunkers down to expose its nearly inedible iron armor.

Blazard has the ability Blaze characteristic of all Fire Starters. This allows it to boost its power when its health is low.

Behavior

Blazard are quick and tempremental. When startled, they hunker low so that their armor is exposed, and if a predator persists they shoot flames from their pipes to defend themselves. When they gather in large groups, they become aggressive, relying on teamwork to take down even large and powerful enemies.

Habitat

Blazard live in hot, dry regions, such as desert scrub and savannahs.

Diet

Their diet consists of coal and Grass-type Pokemon, which they use to fuel their internal combustion chambers.

In Iron & Copper

Blazard first appeared in All Roads Lead to Kroel. It was one of the staters that Pi, Aang or Ash could have picked from Professor Parcel, but instead they chose Hiponea, Dragorsy and Satany, respectively.
