Raptorch (RAP-torch) is a dual-type Fire/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves into Archilles starting at level 29.

Along with Orchynx and Eletux, Raptorch is one of the Starter Pokémon of the Tandor region, able to be chosen at the beginning of Pokémon Uranium.

It replaced Flager as the Fire-type starter in Beta 2.0 and beyond.

Pokédex Entry[]

Pokédex entry
RAPTORCH are energetic Pokémon that require constant attention, or they will start setting their surroundings on fire.

Biology[]

Raptorch is a small, bipedal, reptilian Pokémon resembling a combination of a velociraptor and an armadillo. It has black skin with an orange underbelly and hard red plating on its forehead and back. It also sports sharp fangs, two large, rounded ears on its head like an armadillo's, and three-toed hands and feet. A bright flame burns at the end of its tail in a similar fashion to Charmander.

As a Ground-type Pokémon, Raptorch is adept at digging tunnels and will kick sand at its opponents to blind them. It can also breathe fire and use the fire on its tail to attack, and its tough plates can be used defensively to protect it from blows to its head and back. Raptorch is a loyal Pokémon that demands constant attention and care. Due to its careless nature, it will often inadvertently set its surroundings ablaze. They are fierce and fearless in battle and will defend their trainer to the end. Raptorch are very rarely found in the wild, as human encroachment into their habitat has reduced their numbers. They are most often found in plains, prairies, and wide, open spaces. They are solitary hunters during the day but gather together in underground nests at night.

Trivia[]

  • In order to get Raptorch, you must have a "offensive" personality in the Pokémon Trainer Test. To get this result, answer the questions in the following way:
    1. Attack it right away!
    2. Hyper Beam
    3. Gyarados
    4. Becoming the very best

Design Origin[]

Raptorch is based primarily based off of the clade of Dinosaurs known as Maniraptora, more specifically Dromaeosaurs and Troodontids. Raptorch also takes elements like its ears and patches of armor from armadillos. Its flaming tail and reptilian body may have been inspired by Charmander. Its Shiny palette, meanwhile, bears a strong resemblance to Yoshi from the Super Mario franchise.

Name Origin[]

Raptorch is a combination of raptor and torch. The name was suggested by Deviantart user Emmadat.
