Fuecoco (Japanese: ホゲータ Hogator) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves into Crocalor starting at level 16, which evolves into Skeledirge starting at level 36.
Along with Sprigatito and Quaxly, Fuecoco is one of three starter Pokémon of Paldea available at the beginning of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Along with Sprigatito and Quaxly, it was the first Generation IX Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a Pokémon Presents video presentation.
Biology
Fuecoco is a bipedal crocodilian Pokémon with a mostly red body and a white stomach and face. On its head are two yellow tufts of fire energy leaking from within its body, with more flames emerging should Fuecoco get excited. It has black eyes and triangular nostrils, and its mouth has three teeth, with one in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. It has stubby arms and large feet with two black toes on each foot. Fuecoco has yellow square scales on its stomach, back, tail, and the soles of its feet. These scales are warm to the touch, although they can become heated. The scales absorb external heat to be turned into fire energy.[1]
Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. Fuecoco enjoys eating, and it will rush towards any food it sees.[1]
Trivia
Origin
Fuecoco appears to be based on a baby crocodile, although it has some similarities to theropod dinosaurs. The fiery tufts on its head, its coloration, and its overall body shape together make it resemble an apple or a chili pepper.
Name origin
Fuecoco may be a combination of fuego (Spanish for fire) and cocodrilo (Spanish for crocodile).
Hogator may be a combination of 火 ho (fire), ほげー hogē (onomatopoeia for being dumbfounded), fogata (Spanish for campfire) or hoguera (Spanish for bonfire), and gator. It may also involve malagueta (type of chili pepper) or melegueta (grains of paradise; a spice).
