Biology

Fuecoco is a small red crocodilian Pokémon. It is the first stage of an evolutionary line, eventually becoming Crocalor and later Skeledirge.

Design & origin

Fuecoco is known in Japan as Hogator. The name "Fuecoco" stems from the Spanish words fuego, meaning "fire", and cocodrilo, meaning "crocodile".
