Prior to meeting [[Roy]], {{p|Fuecoco}} was a [[wild Pokémon]] living in [[Paldea]]. At some point, he came across the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and joined them on their journey around the world aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], after coming to admire [[Friede's Charizard]].
Fuecoco debuted in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]''. He was first seen welcoming [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to the Brave Olivine alongside {{p|Pawmi}}. During the [[Explorers]]' attack on the ship, Fuecoco joined [[Friede's Charizard]] to help [[Orla]] fuel the ship's combustion engine.

During the [[Explorers]]' attack on the ship, Fuecoco joined [[Friede's Charizard]] to help [[Orla]] fuel the ship's combustion engine.


In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Fuecoco was surprised by Liko during one of his singing practices sessions and ran away. After the Brave Olivine made an emergency landing to fix some patches, Fuecoco accidentally slid from the aircraft and landed on the [[Roy's hometown|island]]'s shore. He stole some {{Berries}} from the local wild Pokémon and food from Roy's [[Secret Base]] before being found by the boy, who had heard his singing from afar. Fuecoco got embarrassed and tried to run away, only for him to almost fall from a cliff if not for Roy's quick thinking. They bonded, and Roy encouraged Fuecoco to sing. After hearing a nearby commotion, Roy and Fuecoco both ran toward it and helped Liko and Sprigatito to run away from the wild Pokémon. They, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them after Fuecoco failed to launch an {{m|Ember}} to scare them away. After being rescued by Friede, Liko, and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and Fuecoco had to part ways with Roy.

In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Fuecoco was informed by [[Mollie]] that Roy came looking for him the night before and had gifted him some Berries after not being able to find him. Wanting to see Roy again, Fuecoco hurried out of the aircraft and spotted the Explorers in the sea. After finding Roy, Fuecoco frantically told him that something was wrong. They partnered to face off against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}, and Fuecoco was finally able to use Ember with some encouragement in the form of singing from Roy.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Fuecoco joined in the fight against [[Amethio]] and battled alongside Sprigatito against his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Despite being two against one, Ceruledge was dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a [[Black Rayquaza]] emerged from Roy's ancient {{i|Poké Ball}}, resulting in Amethio and the other Explorers retreating. After being healed by Mollie, Friede's Charizard gave it a Poké Ball, which he presented to Roy when he returned to the Brave Olivine and allowed Roy to catch him. Afterward, they set off on the Brave Olivine, with Roy becoming a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Fuecoco sparred against Liko's Sprigatito. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Ember and {{m|Leafage}}. Later, after being unable to talk to [[Dot]], Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede to hold a special training session for the rookies: this time, Fuecoco and Sprigatito faced off against [[Captain Pikachu]] and needed to land only a single hit on the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} to win the match. While they initially struggled against his {{m|Double Team}}, Fuecoco and Sprigatito destroyed each one of Pikachu's copies after Liko figured out his behavior, with Sprigatito managing to almost score a {{m|Scratch}}. After a lunch break, Fuecoco battled against Sprigatito once more to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a [[type]] advantage, Fuecoco was knocked out by Sprigatito's newly-learned {{m|Quick Attack}}, resulting in Roy's defeat. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea.

In ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'', Roy used Fuecoco in his battle against [[Brassius]] at the [[Artazon Gym]]. Fuecoco battled against his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, only to struggle before realizing it wasn't a {{type|Grass}} and that it was a {{type|Rock}}. While he was at a type disadvantage, he learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} during the battle, which dealt [[Type#Type effectiveness|super-effective]] damage to Sudowoodo. Despite managing to deal some good damage and Sudowoodo {{Tera}}stallizing into a Grass Tera Type, which gave Fuecoco the type advantage at that point, Fuecoco couldn’t stand up to the Imitation Pokémon's Terastallized power and was defeated, with Roy suffering his second official loss in a row.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]'', Fuecoco was used in a battle against [[Spinel]]'s Pokémon alongside {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as they teamed up with Liko's Sprigatito and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. During the battle, Wattrel started a fight with Fuecoco, which unintentionally allowed Fuecoco to defeat Spinel's Magneton with Ember; afterward, the two continued with their fight so Roy intervened to break up the fight and left the battle. As their bickering continued in the [[HZ017|next episode]], Roy was inspired by Friede to have them battle together to deepen their friendship and relieve some stress. Their opponent was Captain Pikachu, against whom they lost due to their lack of teamwork. Immediately after, the Brave Olivine flew through turbulence, during which Wattrel activated its {{a|Wind Power}} [[Ability]] to boost its {{m|Spark}} and protect Roy from getting hit by a rogue tree branch. Seeing this as an opportunity to overpower Captain Pikachu, Roy, Wattrel, and Fuecoco trained the entire night in preparation for a combo move. The next day, they had their rematch against Captain Pikachu, with Fuecoco launching him and his teammate up by firing Embers downward to give Wattrel enough height to catch sufficiently strong winds and activate its Ability. Despite their improved teamwork, Captain Pikachu won once again, though their relationship was shown to have grown more amicable.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Fuecoco participated in a Gym challenge set up by [[Motostoke]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Kabu]]. Fuecoco's role was to keep the {{p|Litwick}} flames lit while Sprigatito attempted to extinguish them. Though Fuecoco struggled to keep up with Sprigatito, it ended up winning due to Liko deciding Roy deserved it more. He then went on to battle alongside Sprigatito against Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}'s {{p|Rolycoly}}. The two struggled to damage Centiskorch and, despite learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Fuecoco was knocked out.

In [[HZ022]], Fuecoco battled against the Explorers alongside Sprigatito until they encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Fuecoco quickly escaped the [[Galar Mine]] with Roy, Liko, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Fuecoco was brought to the Motostoke [[Pokémon Center]] to recover from its battle with Moltres. After recovering, Fuecoco helped to battle Moltres again to calm it down. Thanks to [[Lucius]]'s {{p|Arboliva}}, the group succeeded and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Fuecoco and Wattrel teamed up with Sprigatito to battle [[Tepen]] to get the Ancient Poké Ball back from him, after he stole it from Roy. However, the three of them were put to sleep by Tepen's special {{m|Sleep Powder}} that his {{p|Foongus}} had.

In [[HZ037]], Fuecoco accompanied Roy in helping the Rising Volt Tacklers on a job assignment that involved a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}, who were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Upon finding the group, Fuecoco and Roy quickly befriended them after finding out they were only protecting their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the Krookodile and its family, they went on a rampage and tried to destroy the machinery. However, by learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm Krookodile and the others down.

Upon finding them, Fuecoco and Roy found out that they were only protecting their {{pkmn|Egg}}s and worked with them to put on a show. When the tunnel was going to collapse, Fuecoco learned {{m|Disarming Voice}} in order to prevent any more damage.
In [[HZ043]], Fuecoco was used to battle [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}. Fuecoco struggled to land any attacks after Glalie froze the battlefield with {{m|Blizzard}}, preventing Fuecoco from standing up properly. Noticing Fuecoco's frustration, Roy had him use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by Roy and Fuecoco's determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by [[Sidian]] for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.  


In [[HZ040]], Fuecoco had a practice battle against Liko's Sprigatito, and was able to counter Quick Attack this time with Disarming Voice. The practice battle was paused after Sprigatito accidentally injured Liko. Later, after Liko returned to the Brave Olivine, Fuecoco continued his practice battle against Sprigatito. He was still able to counter Quick Attack, this time with Stomping Tantrum, forcing Sprigatito to dodge it. In the end, though, Fuecoco was caught off guard by Sprigatito's newly learned {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which, unlike Leafage, he couldn’t dodge as it was guaranteed to hit him, and he ended up getting knocked out again, making this Roy‘s 2nd practice loss in a row against Liko.
In [[HZ044]], Roy had Fuecoco stun [[Chalce]] with Stomping Tantrum, keeping her from attempting to capture the Black Rayquaza. In [[HZ045|the following episode]], Fuecoco and Friede's Charizard combined their strength to take on the Black Rayquaza. Later, after witnessing Charizard be defeated, Fuecoco refused to back down and learned {{m|Flame Charge}} in the process. He teamed up with Liko's newly-evolved {{p|Floragato}} to launch an attack strong enough to send the Black Rayquaza flying backward, though he failed to do any real damage. Afterward, the Black Rayquaza took off into the skies.

Line 60: Line 65:
Fuecoco is shown to enjoy singing and eating, as expected of his {{p|Fuecoco|species}}. At first, Fuecoco would get embarrassed and run away when there was someone nearby hearing him sing. However, after meeting [[Roy]] and through his encouragement, Fuecoco started to gain confidence in his singing and started to not mind when others joined in. He is also shown to be clumsy, such as when he accidentally slid off the [[Brave Olivine]]. In addition, Fuecoco is usually a friendly and upbeat Pokémon who doesn't get upset too often, as he quickly became friends with [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. Despite this, Fuecoco has shown to have a short temper, such as when he got frustrated with {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} for interrupting it in mid-battle against [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}}.

As first seen in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part Two]]'', Fuecoco greatly admires [[Friede's Charizard]] and looks up to it, wanting to help and be around it all the time, even becoming upset when the Flame Pokémon is not around. [[Mollie]] theorized that the reason why Fuecoco was on the Brave Olivine to begin with was to be with Charizard. Fuecoco also wants to become strong like Charizard and enjoys watching it no matter what it is doing. In addition, Fuecoco seems to be very good friends with Charizard.

Roy and Fuecoco quickly formed a strong bond after meeting each other, as they thought about each other even when they were apart and went out of their way to find one another again. Their bond has led them to become partners in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' when Fuecoco stored a {{i|Poké Ball}} inside his mouth so Roy could catch him. Fuecoco, like his Trainer, is excited to battle. He would often give his all but doesn't feel bad about losing, especially when Roy assures him that he tried his best. They are also almost identical in personality and thus are the perfect match for one another.

Although he has shown to be gluttonous, Fuecoco enjoys certain types of food, such as [[berries]] and spicy flavored food. Fuecoco also enjoys eating sweets, as shown in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Roy got excited about eating the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made after they did an unexpected bake-off. Fuecoco also doesn't like sharing his food with others and would get defensive if he felt his food was being threatened. However, despite this, Fuecoco does know when to share with others, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when he offered to share his [[sandwich]] with a {{pkmn2|wild}} Wattrel.

Despite being a {{t|Fire}} [[type]], Fuecoco doesn't seem to get bothered by water. Fuecoco also has a habit of being insensitive to the feelings of others, but it is unintentional, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'' when he didn't realize that he was blocking Wattrel's sunlight and getting in its personal space, as he wanted to be close with his teammate, which has led them to argue. However, after growing closer as a team, Fuecoco got along much better with Wattrel. Still, despite his improved relationship with his teammate, Fuecoco gets into arguments with Wattrel, as shown in [[HZ023]], when they fought for a [[Grepa Berry]].

In the anime

History

Pre-series

Prior to the series, Fuecoco was a wild Pokémon living in Paldea. At some point, he came across the Rising Volt Tacklers and joined them on their journey around the world aboard the Brave Olivine, after coming to admire Friede's Charizard.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

As a wild Pokémon
Fuecoco and Friede's Charizard

Fuecoco debuted in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two). He was first seen welcoming Liko and her Sprigatito to the Brave Olivine alongside Pawmi. During the Explorers' attack on the ship, Fuecoco joined Friede's Charizard to help Orla fuel the ship's combustion engine.

In The Treasure After the Storm!, Fuecoco was surprised by Liko during one of his singing practices sessions and ran away. After the Brave Olivine made an emergency landing to fix some patches, Fuecoco accidentally slid from the aircraft and landed on the island's shore. He stole some Berries from the local wild Pokémon and food from Roy's Secret Base before being found by the boy, who had heard his singing from afar. Fuecoco got embarrassed and tried to run away, only for him to almost fall from a cliff if not for Roy's quick thinking. They bonded, and Roy encouraged Fuecoco to sing. After hearing a nearby commotion, Roy and Fuecoco both ran toward it and helped Liko and Sprigatito to run away from the wild Pokémon. They, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them after Fuecoco failed to launch an Ember to scare them away. After being rescued by Friede, Liko, and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and Fuecoco had to part ways with Roy.

Fuecoco being picked to be Roy's first Pokémon

In Found You, Fuecoco!, Fuecoco was informed by Mollie that Roy came looking for him the night before and had gifted him some Berries after not being able to find him. Wanting to see Roy again, Fuecoco hurried out of the aircraft and spotted the Explorers in the sea. After finding Roy, Fuecoco frantically told him that something was wrong. They partnered to face off against Zirc and his Rhydon, and Fuecoco was finally able to use Ember with some encouragement in the form of singing from Roy.

In The Ancient Poké Ball, Fuecoco joined in the fight against Amethio and battled alongside Sprigatito against his Ceruledge. Despite being two against one, Ceruledge was dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a Black Rayquaza emerged from Roy's Ancient Poké Ball, resulting in Amethio and the other Explorers retreating. After being healed by Mollie, Friede's Charizard gave it a Poké Ball, which he presented to Roy when he returned to the Brave Olivine and allowed Roy to catch him. Afterward, they set off on the Brave Olivine, with Roy becoming a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

With Roy
Fuecoco and his friends

In Special Training with Cap!, Fuecoco sparred against Liko's Sprigatito. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Ember and Leafage. Later, after being unable to talk to Dot, Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede to hold a special training session for the rookies: this time, Fuecoco and Sprigatito faced off against Captain Pikachu and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his Double Team, Fuecoco and Sprigatito destroyed each one of Pikachu's copies after Liko figured out his behavior, with Sprigatito managing to almost score a Scratch. After a lunch break, Fuecoco battled against Sprigatito once more to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a type advantage, Fuecoco was knocked out by Sprigatito's newly-learned Quick Attack, resulting in Roy's defeat. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea.

In Nemona and Brassius and…, Roy used Fuecoco in his battle against Brassius at the Artazon Gym. Fuecoco battled against his Sudowoodo, only to struggle before realizing it wasn't a Grass type and that it was a Rock type. While he was at a type disadvantage, he learned Stomping Tantrum during the battle, which dealt super-effective damage to Sudowoodo. Despite managing to deal some good damage and Sudowoodo Terastallizing into a Grass Tera Type, which gave Fuecoco the type advantage at that point, Fuecoco couldn’t stand up to the Imitation Pokémon's Terastallized power and was defeated, with Roy suffering his second official loss in a row.

In Quaxly, We Can Do It, Fuecoco was used in a battle against Spinel's Pokémon alongside Wattrel as they teamed up with Liko's Sprigatito and Dot's Quaxly. During the battle, Wattrel started a fight with Fuecoco, which unintentionally allowed Fuecoco to defeat Spinel's Magneton with Ember; afterward, the two continued with their fight so Roy intervened to break up the fight and left the battle. As their bickering continued in the next episode, Roy was inspired by Friede to have them battle together to deepen their friendship and relieve some stress. Their opponent was Captain Pikachu, against whom they lost due to their lack of teamwork. Immediately after, the Brave Olivine flew through turbulence, which charged Wattrel with electricity, allowing it to boost its Spark and protect Roy from getting hit by a rogue tree branch. Seeing this as an opportunity to overpower Captain Pikachu, Roy, Wattrel, and Fuecoco trained the entire night in preparation for a combo move. The next day, they had their rematch against Captain Pikachu, with Fuecoco launching him and his teammate up by firing Embers downward to give Wattrel enough height to catch sufficiently strong winds and activate its Ability. Despite their improved teamwork, Captain Pikachu won once again, though their relationship was shown to have grown more amicable.

In Kabu's Battle Training!, Fuecoco participated in a Gym challenge set up by Motostoke's Gym Leader Kabu. Fuecoco's role was to keep the Litwick flames lit while Sprigatito attempted to extinguish them. Though Fuecoco struggled to keep up with Sprigatito, it ended up winning due to Liko deciding Roy deserved it more. He then went on to battle alongside Sprigatito against Kabu's Centiskorch and Wakaba's Rolycoly. The two struggled to damage Centiskorch and, despite learning Flamethrower, Fuecoco was knocked out.

In Charge! Galar Mine!, Fuecoco battled against the Explorers alongside Sprigatito until they encountered a Galarian Moltres that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Fuecoco quickly escaped the Galar Mine with Roy, Liko, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the next episode, Fuecoco was brought to the Motostoke Pokémon Center to recover from its battle with Moltres. After recovering, Fuecoco helped to battle Moltres again to calm it down. Thanks to Lucius's Arboliva, the group succeeded and the Legendary Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In The Stolen Treasure, Fuecoco and Wattrel teamed up with Sprigatito to battle Tepen to get the Ancient Poké Ball back from him, after he stole it from Roy. However, the three of them were put to sleep by Tepen's special Sleep Powder that his Foongus had.

In HZ037, Fuecoco accompanied Roy in helping the Rising Volt Tacklers on a job assignment that involved a group of Sandile and its evolved forms, who were disturbing some archeologists. Upon finding the group, Fuecoco and Roy quickly befriended them after finding out they were only protecting their Eggs. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the Krookodile and its family, they went on a rampage and tried to destroy the machinery. However, by learning Disarming Voice, Fuecoco managed to calm Krookodile and the others down.

In HZ043, Fuecoco was used to battle Coral's Glalie. Fuecoco struggled to land any attacks after Glalie froze the battlefield with Blizzard, preventing Fuecoco from standing up properly. Noticing Fuecoco's frustration, Roy had him use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by Roy and Fuecoco's determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In HZ044, Roy had Fuecoco stun Chalce with Stomping Tantrum, keeping her from attempting to capture the Black Rayquaza. In the following episode, Fuecoco and Friede's Charizard combined their strength to take on the Black Rayquaza. Later, after witnessing Charizard be defeated, Fuecoco refused to back down and learned Flame Charge in the process. He teamed up with Liko's newly-evolved Floragato to launch an attack strong enough to send the Black Rayquaza flying backward, though he failed to do any real damage. Afterward, the Black Rayquaza took off into the skies.

Personality and characteristics

Fuecoco and Roy

Fuecoco is shown to enjoy singing and eating, as expected of his species. At first, Fuecoco would get embarrassed and run away when there was someone nearby hearing him sing. However, after meeting Roy and through his encouragement, Fuecoco started to gain confidence in his singing and started to not mind when others joined in. He is also shown to be clumsy, such as when he accidentally slid off the Brave Olivine. In addition, Fuecoco is usually a friendly and upbeat Pokémon who doesn't get upset too often, as he quickly became friends with Liko's Sprigatito and Dot's Quaxly. Despite this, Fuecoco has shown to have a short temper, such as when he got frustrated with Wattrel for interrupting it in mid-battle against Spinel's Magneton.

As first seen in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two), Fuecoco greatly admires Friede's Charizard and looks up to it, wanting to help and be around it all the time, even becoming upset when the Flame Pokémon is not around. Mollie theorized that the reason why Fuecoco was on the Brave Olivine to begin with was to be with Charizard. Fuecoco also wants to become strong like Charizard and enjoys watching it no matter what it is doing. In addition, Fuecoco seems to be very good friends with Charizard.

Roy and Fuecoco quickly formed a strong bond after meeting each other, as they thought about each other even when they were apart and went out of their way to find one another again. Their bond has led them to become partners in The Ancient Poké Ball when Fuecoco stored a Poké Ball inside his mouth so Roy could catch him. Fuecoco, like his Trainer, is excited to battle. He would often give his all but doesn't feel bad about losing, especially when Roy assures him that he tried his best. They are also almost identical in personality and thus are the perfect match for one another.

Fuecoco and Wattrel

Although he has shown to be gluttonous, Fuecoco enjoys certain types of food, such as Berries and spicy flavored food. Fuecoco also enjoys eating sweets, as shown in The Bittersweet Truth, when he and Roy got excited about eating the sweets that Murdock and Mitchell made after they did an unexpected bake-off. Fuecoco also doesn't like sharing his food with others and would get defensive if he felt his food was being threatened. However, despite this, Fuecoco does know when to share with others, as seen in An Unexpected Picnic!, when he offered to share his sandwich with a wild Wattrel.

Despite being a Fire type, Fuecoco doesn't seem to get bothered by water. Fuecoco also has a habit of being insensitive to the feelings of others, but it is unintentional, as seen in Special Training Time! when he didn't realize that he was blocking Wattrel's sunlight and getting in its personal space, as he wanted to be close with his teammate, which has led them to argue. However, after growing closer as a team, Fuecoco got along much better with Wattrel. Still, despite his improved relationship with his teammate, Fuecoco gets into arguments with Wattrel, as shown in Fiery Galarian Moltres, when they fought for a Grepa Berry.
