(Can be disabled at will unless stated otherwise. Furthermore, given that Torchic is a potential main protagonist in Sky, it gets access to the said exclusive skills [that would coincide with its IQ group])

• Course Checker: A skill all partners must know, regardless of IQ Group or amount of IQ Points, and exclusive to them. If targeting an enemy, Blaziken will instinctively check for things that will get in the way, and will stop if such an obstacle exists in an effort to conserve stamina.
• Status Checker: Blaziken knows to not beat a dead horse and use a status move that'll cause a status effect that the opponent already has.
