Ash's Torracat is the evolved form of
Ash's Litten. It evolved during a training battle with the Masked Royal. Despite getting stronger and perfecting Flame Charge, it was still no match for
Professor Kukui's Incineroar and it lost the battle on the beach.
Torracat was always a fan of the Masked Royal's Incineroar and it got to see a match against the Revengers at the Battle Royal Dome. When things started to get out of hand and the Revengers started battling unfairly,
Ash's Torracat jumped out of the gallery and hit Magmortar before it could use Fire Punch. It then ended up teaming up with the Masked Royal's Incineroar for the Revenge Match against the Revengers where it knocked out both
Mad Magmar's Magmortar and
Mr. Electric's Electivire after it learned the move Revenge during the match. The Double Royals ended up winning the match.
Alola League
In the second match of the Alola Pokémon League semifinals,
Guzma's Scizor faced off against
Ash's Torracat but Scizor quickly used U-turn and
Guzma's Golisopod came out to battle. Torracat held its own in that matchup and Golisopod fled, forcing Scizor to appear on the battlefield where it took a direct hit from Fire Blast and was knocked out. Golisopod was forced back on the battlefield and it managed to poison Torracat. Despite things not going as he planned, Guzma still vowed to win and Golisopod knocked out Torracat which then setup the rematch battle against Pikachu.
For the Alola League Exhibition Match,
Ash's Torracat faced off against
Professor Kukui's Incineroar but since their last match, Torracat got a lot stronger and it was time to show it how tough it was. The battle didn't disappoint as the two Fire-type Pokémon battled very hard and it was clear that Torracat’s flame power was getting stronger. Incineroar's strategy was to continuously use Bulk Up to increase its defense capabilities while Torracat used Flame Charge to keep getting faster. Despite its speed boost, Incineroar was used to battling many opponents at once and it could track a Pokémon’s movements 360 degrees around so it had no blind spots. Incineroar fought back with a Blast Burn but Torracat absorbed the Blast Burn into itself to increase its own firepower. With Torracat noticeably tired, Ash recalled it.
Ash's Torracat and
Professor Kukui's Incineroar battled again later on in the match and Ash reminded Torracat to keep an eye on Incineroar’s every move. They testing each other’s strengths and weaknesses but in the head-to-head clash of Bulk Up versus Fire Blast, Incineroar emerged victorious but it wasn't enough to knock it out. Finally, the two decided to use Z-Moves to finally determine the victor and the two Inferno Overdrive's collided and became a huge, high-pressure fireball in the middle of the battlefield. They both jumped into the fireball with Incineroar using Throat Chop and Torracat using Revenge and
Professor Kukui's Incineroar was defeated.
Ash's Torracat then evolved into
Ash's Incineroar but was too exhausted from the battle and evolving and was knocked out of the match.
