Description: A small, yellow, fox-like Pokémon, Fennekin is the Fire type starter for the Kalos region. Built similarly to a fennec fox, Fennekin is covered in yellow fur, with large tufts of bright orange fur in its ears and on the tip of its tail, as well as white fur around its muzzle and cheeks. The fur in its ears is darker because of the contantly venting heat. Both to maintain its inner body temperature and to intimidate its foes, Fennekin can vent heat upwards of 200° C.
