A recent video featuring Fuecoco, one of the starting Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, circling around a soccer ball during a picnic and having the time of its life is taking fans by storm. As the beloved Fuecoco continues capturing the hearts of many with its care-free attitude and blank stare, it's no surprise why the fire-type crocodile is quickly became the favorite of the three.
Whether it's the way it gazes lovingly at players as they make their decision on whom they'll begin their journey with or his gradual evolution from sporting an egg on his head to a ghost crocodile with a bird, fans of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have become enamored by this gentle-looking beast. As players progress, that love continues to grow with each passing day.
In a TikTok video posted by user skylietheshark, one trainer took some time off from exploring and trainer battles to enjoy a picnic with their team. Trainers can not only bring out a table to make a wide variety of different sandwiches in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but also provide their Pokemon with toys to play with. In this cute, six-second video, Fuecoco can be seen circling around a ball that is placed on the ground, while the remainder of the team stands by and watches. What gives the video an extra element of hilarity is the fact that Fuecoco's legs don't appear to be moving as it goes "around the world."
Since the introduction of the starting three Pokemon, Fuecoco has gained notoriety for the way it presents itself to the trainer and the nature it carries. Fire-type starters usually garner more interest than the two other elements, with Charmander, Cyndaquil, and Scorbunny becoming fan favorites early on, and Fuecoco is no different. The bulky, defensive crocodile packs a great special attack which pairs well with many fire-type moves such as Flamethrower and Fire Blast, as well as ghost moves like Shadow Ball and Hex. Many experts consider players use a Bold nature for Fuecoco in their Pokemon Scarlet and Violet playthrough, as it boosts his amazing defensive stat.
As it grows, Fuecoco's carefree demeanor turns into the terrifying Skeledirge, the Ghost/Fire-type that is listed as the Singer Pokemon. While players shouldn't expect this final evolution monster to be making rounds around a ball at picnic time, they can sleep well at night knowing Skeledirge lives up to his status as a Fire-type starter, surpassing expectations with a favorable duo type, a move set meant for destruction, and the stats to wreak havoc on anyone that crosses its path.
