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 the three first partner pokémon of Paldea available at the beginning of pokémon Scarlet and Violet. They were also the first Generation IX pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a pokémon Presents video presentation.
Fuecoco is a bipedal crocodilian pokémon with a mostly red body and a white stomach and face. Its body contains a small flame sac, which constantly leaks fire energy due to its size. The energy releases in the form of two bright yellow tufts of flame on top of its head; should Fuecoco get excited, more of these tufts of flame may emerge. As shown in the in the pokémon Horizons: The Series episode Charge! Galar Mine!, Fuecoco's tufts can emit light. Fuecoco 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, such as from warm rocks where it lies on, to be turned into fire energy.
Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. It enjoys eating, and it will rush towards any food it sees. As shown in pokémon Sleep, Fuecoco and its Evolutions are known to sometimes sleep with one eye open. While asleep, Fuecoco sometimes moves its mouth as if it is chewing.
