Fennekin (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Fire-type First partner Pokémon that made its first appearance in the sixth generation games X and Y.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Fennekin is a small, quadrupedal fox-like Pokémon. It is covered in pale yellow fur that is longer on its haunches. It has a white muzzle with longer fur on its cheeks, large, dark orange eyes, and a pointed, black nose. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen in its upper jaw. Tufts of dark orange fur cover the interior of its large ears. Fennekin also has small paws with no visible toes and slim legs. Its tail is fluffy with a dark orange tip.
Hot air is vented from Fennekin's ears, reaching temperatures of over 390 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). It uses this ability to intimidate opponents. Fennekin chews on twigs, which fill it with energy. It can be temperamental, but it tries to do its best for its Trainer.

Other Pokémon games[]
Fennekin in tandem with Emolga can be used as an assist in Pokkén Tournament. It uses Ember to stun foes in a dome of fire.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
Fennekin is a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When summoned, it will shoot a fireball a distance away with Incinerate. When a fighter touches the fire, they get stunned and take continuous fire damage until the fire fades like PK Fire. It usually shoots a couple before going away.
Trophy descriptions[]
This Fire-type Pokémon is one of the first partners in Pokémon X and Y. It enjoys eating twigs, emitting hot air from its ears as it munches. Its Incinerate attack may look like small embers when it starts, but when it hits another fighter, the embers burst into a devastating pillar of flame!
In the anime[]
Serena's Fennekin
Serena obtained one at the beginning of her journey and it becomes her main Pokémon. It eventually evolves into a Braixen. It would later evolve into Delphox between XY and Journeys.
Origin and inspiration[]
Fennekin is based on a fox, most likely a fennec fox. Its name is likely a combination of fennec and kindle.
