Fuecoco: The Adorable Fire-Type Pokemon I Can't Get Enough Of:

By Lars Guo

Published: April 2, 2024


Opening message: Hi Folks! I hope you all are doing well! Here is my newest blog. This will cover what a Fuecoco is, the anime version of Fuecoco, hopes on what it would do with Fuecoco regarding anime, merchandise, etc, where would Fuecoco live, Fuecoco themed drink thoughts, Fuecoco plush thoughts, what I would do if Pokemon was real, and fun facts. As a side note, most of this is also my opinion and the fun facts covers what I would do with Fuecoco and facts about Fuecoco that would have to do with me. 


What is Fuecoco?: Fuecoco is a fire Pokemon that a trainer can obtain first on their Pokemon journey in the Paldea region. Paldea region is where generation 9's Pokemon take place. This Pokemon cannot be obtained in the wild unless you hack the game and make modifications. You can only get one in game Fuecoco unless you trade to get more. Fuecoco is a Pokemon that is a defensive tank and an offensive tank that hits hard. It is almost unheard of being able to one shot its final evolution form without being over leveled.



Is Fuecoco your only option as a starter in Paldea?: Fuecoco is one out of three Pokemon starters in Paldea. The other two are the water starter Quaxley, and the other is a grass starter called Sprigattito. 


Favorite parts of Fuecoco: It is my most valuable Pokemon on my team. I relied on it a lot during my Pokemon battles on my run with just the Pokemon starters. I can tell you that Fuecoco’s offense and defense are strong and its move pool is strong. It is also cute in its looks especially the plush and it easily became one of my favorite Pokemon overall and in that generation. Although there are a few of other Pokemon that are some favorites like Bulbasaur, Turtwig, and Torchic. 


Where did I get my first Fuecoco plush?: Tokyo Character Street which is within the Tokyo station is where I got my Fuecoco plushies.


Why do I like the plush a lot: The mini original Fuecoco that is not themed plush key chains are cute and straight to the point. The expression Fuecoco has looks adorable and the coloring is great. The plush is soft. I like the Pokemon's expression.


My thoughts on where Fuecoco live in America: I can see Fuecoco hanging out in the southern parts of America. My guess is it would not be in a city. It might be in a suburban area. It would be in a place that is on the quieter side but still quite close to food. I think Fuecoco would love the hot weather as a fire type of Pokemon. Perhaps you might see it hanging out on a beach once in a while. It would probably go to the grocery store a lot so it can eat its head off. I can see its profession being a chef if it isn’t battling Pokemon to protect their trainer. A singing career would not be a bad choice based on the anime’s depiction of Fuecoco.


Thoughts on Fuecoco before watching the anime, Pokemon Horizons: I thought Fuecoco was the adorable fire starter that packs a punch and is strong. It looked sweet but fierce in the face of battle. I think it loves food and is also very loyal.


Thoughts on Pokemon Horizons take on Fuecoco: It is a bit sad that the new Pokemon protagonist didn't have Fuecoco as its starter. I think the Fuecoco’s personality was spot on. I do wish it is stronger in the anime as it shouldn't lose to the grass starter Sprigattito as it is a type advantage against Sprigattito. It is interesting to see how adventurous Fuecoco is and how it is good at being a slight trouble maker in its own right. I do wish it was a bit stronger starting out. It felt like there was some plot armor that Fuecoco lost. The Pokemon trainer Roy, owns Fuecoco and it is interesting to see their relationship with each other. I like Fuecoco’s singing.


What do I hope to see that Pokemon Horizons does with Fuecoco: I hope that Fuecoco gets stronger and consistently beats Sprigattito. Although, plot armor wouldn't allow that. I hope to see Fuecoco evolve to its final form and show off its move called "Torch Song" which is its signature move. I would like to see Fuecoco be in more seasons of Pokemon Horizons. I also hope they have a dedicated section of the anime to show off Fuecoco’s past and why it was the way it was. I also would like to see Fuecoco compete in Pokemon contests and explore all of the Pokemon regions such as Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, etc. It would be cool to see Ash Ketchum make an appearance and make Fuecoco stronger.


What do I hope Pokemon does for Fuecoco in terms of merchandise?: I hope they make a dedicated manga about Fuecoco and how it became a Pokemon starter. I also would like to see how Fuecoco's life before Pokemon Horizons aired through an episode and/or manga. I hope this manga is in multiple languages. It would be good to have a coloring book dedicated to Fuecoco. A cookbook that is Fuecoco themed would be great. It would be great if there is a light novel on Fuecoco in all languages. I would like to see more Fuecoco merchandise in the form of plushies in a lot of sizes. It would be cool to have Fuecoco statues. I would also like the Pokemon creators to make a book on how they decided how the Pokemon starters formed from concept to final form as you see it in the anime and video games especially Fuecoco. 


Thoughts on what would be a good Fuecoco drinks: While my friend and I have yet to make themed drinks on Fuecoco or rather how to go about it, I thought a good s'mores drink would be a good contender. Fuecoco is a fire type that is sweet, loyal, loves to eat, and a fire type. I think the chocolate and warm marshmallow components would be a good way to highlight its sweetness. Using a torch to make the marshmallow a golden brown and a melted chocolate would really show off its fire typing. It loves food and s'mores are addictive and easily, for me, something I eat a lot of if you put them in front of me. It likes adventures and at least, with me, when I think of adventures, I think about camping and s’mores. I also think a golden brown marshmallow can highlight its yellow on its back and top. Another idea I have is Mexican hot chocolate. Fuecoco is a Pokemon themed around Spain. This highlights its spicy Spanish theme, adding a kick of spice would be good. Warm chocolate would bring out its love for food and having it be a hot drink would highlight its fire typing. Chocolate is also a Spanish food as well. Going off its end part of Fuecoco’s name, I could make a case for using a coconut drink as well. As it is also a pretty chill Pokemon outside of battle and thinking about relaxation, it would be another idea. For a Fuecoco color based drink, a potential idea is to use a red base color such as strawberries, raspberries, etc. I would also try to add some kind of yellow such as a golden brown marshmallow. I would use two black fondant dots for eyes, two triangle fondant dots for its nose, and a pink to show off its mouth. 


What would I do if things like Pokemon Contests and Pokemon Amenities were available in real life?: I would bring Fuecoco to Pokemon contests in the battle and appeal portion. I would bring it all around the world, becoming a Pokemon champion in all regions. I would like to try Pokemon sweets, etc. It would be cool to make them for Fuecoco. I would want to get badges. If there were a few contest rivals I would want to face, it would be Zoey, Dawn, and May. I would like to face Paul in a Pokemon match but ultimately I think I would lose due to his sheer power, moves, and perfect Pokemon stats that he would possess. I would like to defeat Ash Ketchum and Liko using Fuecoco. 


Fun Facts about Fuecoco:

  1. I had no plans on getting a Fuecoco plush until I saw it in Japan and really fell in love with its plush looks. 

  2. The Pokemon plushies I own the most of is Fuecoco. 

  3. Fuecoco has its own Instagram for its photoshoots and has its own follower group that consistently likes my post.

  4. I wish that Fuecoco could enter in Pokemon contests in all of the regions that offer them.

  5. I wish there was a way and quality for a game that allows me to play Fuecoco starting in the Kanto region and working its way to the Paldea region.
