Typhlosion

Typhlosion (, ty-FLOH-zhən), known in Japan as Bakphoon (Japanese: バクフーン, Hepburn: Bakufūn), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and the final evolved form of starter Pokémon Cyndaquil. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, it was designed by Ken Sugimori and is featured in Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. Classified as a Fire-type Pokémon, it has yellow and blue fur, and is able to generate flames from its back. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Typhlosion receives a new regional variant called Hisuian Typhlosion, with Cyndaquil being one of three starter Pokémon in that game. In addition to its Fire typing, it also gains the Ghost typing. The Hisuian variant of Typhlosion has generally been well received, with praise given to its design and discussion had over the gender presentation of this form. Typhlosion became the subject of discussion due to a leak of details of various Pokémon games, including one that explored lore about Typhlosion. Due to a supposed inaccurate machine translation of this document, it was believed that this folklore depicted Typhlosion manipulating and impregnating a girl, though this was disputed by people claiming that the machine translation changed details.
