A friend of mine joked that Fuecoco's Evolution could be a fire and ghost-type, but the only reasoning that they gave was ghost pepper.

[@silverwolfmillennium8428]

I do actually think(and hope since my favorite type is ghost) that it will turn out as Fire/Ghost, because I see it leaning towards a more skeletal design, because anyone who says fire/dragon or fire/fairy isn’t looking into the white head of Fuecoco, and the name inspiration of FueCOCO and the movie COCO(ok a bit of a stretch but still)

[@bkgames2]

I think Fuecoco fits more with a less known, brazilian folkloric creature, the "Boitatá", which is a giant burning snake with multiple eyes across it's body. It is said that anyone that looks directly at it will go insane. Based on this, i think Fuecoco may be more likely to be a Fire/Ghost type in it's final evolution.

[@timhiltz6323]

Fire/steel maybe. It might have a armour around its body when it evolves.

[@alphblishtarl9374]

I feel they’ll want to keep the starter trio balanced against one another rather than reversing their advantages, so I feel grass/fairy, fire/steel, and water/fighting fits a lot better like how they determined dual typings for gen 6, gen 7, and the hisui trio. They’re all relatively unique typings and do not clash with their original types which is usually what they aim for.

[@gamersread2405]

I would love it if sprigitito stayed cute

[@gabrielwinterz2415]

I'm so glad you said this.

[@ThePhoenixScribe]

I had this same idea a while back and I hope it’s like this too

[@chrisjohnsen8448]

I could see Grass/Ice given how commonly people associate Sabertooth tigers with the ice age. Fuecoco could totally be Fire/Fairy, though part of me can also see Fire/Rock for a number of reasons. Quaxly could certainly gain Fighting or even Flying since... Ya know.... It's a bird. But regardless of what their types are, we all know that many people will be both overjoyed and disappointed and be unable to come to an agreement on which ones are actually good or not.

[@pixellord2370]

Some people think Quaxley might be Water/Dark as a reference to the ruthlessness of Spanish conquistadors in the 15th- 16ty century.

[@bieyang339]

I feel like grass + dark is better and if u want me to explain no cus I can't find a reason to explain other than it fits Edit: okay just rembered it was cus people portray cats as "evil" and cus sabertooh tigers to me feel like a dark type

[@timhiltz6323]

Fire rock is worst type combination, Fire Ground is better and only weak to water 4 times and also ground.

[@papercat_morningteeth1137]

I reallllllyyyyyy think fuecoco is gonna be ghost/ fire type since it’s based off a ghost pepper plus it has a skull on its face I feel like it is pretty obvious.

[@awesometoadultimate8562]

I definitely see Quaxly as Water/Fighting with a sailor theme. Other types people have been thinking about have been Water/Flying, Water/Steel, or Water/Dark. Water/Flying is too obvious and Rowlet ended up as a Ghost type so it's probably not that likely, I doubt GameFreak would want to have both Water type bird starters be part Steel, especially right after BDSP, and then I don't think people would want two Water/Dark starters in a row after Hisuian Samurott. Also, here's what I want the stats for each starter final evo to be Sprigatito (would be a fast special/mixed attacker) HP: 75 Attack: 95 Defense: 65 Sp.Atk: 105 Sp.Def: 80 Speed: 120 Total: 535 Fuecoco (bulky physical attacker) HP: 100 Attack: 125 Defense: 105 Sp.Atk: 70 Sp.Def: 80 Speed: 55 Total: 535 Quaxly (decently fast physical attacker) HP: 80 Attack: 120 Defense: 80 Sp.Atk: 80 Sp.Def: 75 Speed: 100 Total: 535

[@kris.p.bacon1361]

So Donald Duck then

[@diamonshade7484]

The water starter will not be flying cuz it would have been already which a weird decision considering rowlett had the typing

[@sorasong9708]

I'd be fine with it being Flying-type and would save me the trouble of getting one later for my team.

[@DeathLeprecon]

Quaxly could be Water/Steel just so we could have a bird starter with that typing that's actually good. I mean, when you have an abject failure like Empoleon wouldn't you want to try and make up for it.

[@Shalakor]

@@DeathLeprecon ...Isn't Empoleon both casually and competitively viable as well as having an extensive fanbase when it comes to art design? Weird way to define abject failure. ...I mean, unless you're judging it solely on how many people prefer Piplup over its final evolution, but I'm pretty sure that speaks more to the extent of Piplup popularity over a lack of Empoleon popularity. It's like saying Emboar and Infernape were making up for the abject failure of Blaziken, and they finally stopped when they got it right with Emboar. Just to be clear, that is the opposite of the actual consensus, I was giving an exaggerated comparative example of how outlandish the argument against Empoleon was based on actual facts when looking at the statistics.

[@xKOSATx]

I actually really like the secondary types you chose. It creates a type triangle in the opposite direction of their primary types, which is an interesting dynamic

[@the.s3wers]

The fact that one of the two predicted types for Sprigatito was correct is one thing, but the fact that the bipedal design looks REMOTELY SIMILAR TO MEOWSCARADA is mindblowing

[@WelshGiraffa]

I really do hope Fuecoco is the snake representative when it fully evolves would be fun to see a Pokémon with a massive change in evolution like Remoraid I can easily see it turning into a kind of Quetzalcoatl with a chilli pepper vine body

[@yinyang4451]

I think that fuecoco should stay a crocodile because game freak can still do the zodiac thing but have their creative libertys. By the way, a male crocodile is called a bull and a female is called a cow

[@WelshGiraffa]

@@yinyang4451 considering the region is based on Spain they had a chance to make a fire cow for a starter so Fuecoco is no doubt our snake as I and many others do believe it will evolve into a Quetzalcoatl or like Prag said the Cuelebre

[@namegoeshere5220]

I'd rather have something like a spinosaurus with a sail made of flames, then do such a drastic change just to say, "see the fan theory still lives on!" Because...its just a fan theory for fun, it isn't fact in anyway. It's full of so many holes that the water starter theory is all but abandoned to most fans since Feraligatr and Swampert don't use weaponry and trying to stretch the tailfins into battle fans when it doesn't use its tail for any attacks (beyond Iron Tail, a TM) and those arm pads on Feraligatr are on the arms and not brass knuckles. Plus, the creator of Bulbasaur said it's a frog not a dinosaur so the grass theory is equally dead. I love these theories but fans need to let them go when they fall apart. The stretching people do to make Fennekin fit isnt far off from, "Oh, the new fire starter is a giraffe?...looks like we got our Ox!" Not trying to hate, but there is this weird "absolute" about this theory to some fans that just...puts me off it.

[@krimsonklaww611]

If Fuecoco DOES become a fire dragon, sprigatito would be interesting as a grass fairy. I've always had an idea of reverse typing triangles for the starters. Such as how Incineroar (fire/dark) has two type advantages against regular Decidueye, but is evenly matched against Hisuian Decidueye or Chestnaught (both grass/fighting)

[@zapperil]

Problem is , Fuecoco will only take neutral damage against Fairy due to fire typing.

many people say that Fuecoco becomes a fire/ghost type for 3 big reasons 1 - the skull shaped markings on his head 2 - the ghost pepper 3 - the Spanish boogeyman, called the Coco or Coca (wich is usually depicted with a crocodile head) also even if Fuecoco stays a 4 legged croc, it could still be part of the zodiac theory by technicality, as a male croc is known as a bull and a female croc is know as a cow (aka the ox of the chinese zodiac)

[@Geostelar4920]

I mean, to me the boogeyman would be Fairy Ala Grimmsnarl

[@namegoeshere5220]

I mean, the bull thing is such a stretch just to fit a theory. Like male whales and rhinos are called bulls. Cant the theory just be edited to say, "Many of the fire starters share animal basis with the Chinese zodiac", and us just admit a fox isnt a dog and a crocodile isnt a snake? Like the theory, but these weird stretches just kills it entirely for me.

[@silverwolfmillennium8428]

Here’s my theory: Fuecoco will turn out as Fire/Ghost because I see it leaning towards a more skeletal design, because anyone who says fire/dragon or fire/fairy isn’t looking into the white head of Fuecoco, and the name inspiration of FueCOCO and the movie COCO(ok a bit of a stretch but still) and also ghost peppers lol

[@MajoraZ]

I love Bromojumbo's Cuelebre/Quetzalcoatl design, and Feathered Serpents are a popular theory for Fuecoco, but as somebody who does writeups/helps history channels on Mesoamerica, the symbolism doesn't make too much sense. Mesoamerican Feathered Serpent deities have a lot of associations that could tie into different typing's, but not fire: To the Aztec, Quetzalcoatl was primarily a deity of learning and high culture, tied to song, poetry, priesthood, etc; acting as a wise ruler/who taught humankind various things; as well as to the wind in his Ehecatl aspect. Wind and the arts actually tie into each other: speech and song are depicted in Aztec art as spiral wind gusts from the mouth, hence also his signature spiral conch shell pendant, conches also producing both sound and wind, and the spiral shape tying into the iconic mesoamerican step fret motif, the coiling body of snakes, etc. It's also perhaps worth noting that the word for ruler in Nahuatl, Tlatoani, means "one who speaks", tying the rulership association Quetzalcoatl had to speech, wind, etc (though I think that's incidential, as Feathered Serpent ties to rulership long predates the Nahuas) More broadly in other Mesoamerican cultures, Feathered Serpents represented rulership/high priesthood, the dualism and boundaries of the heavens and earth, what with them having the traits of both birds that fly in the sky and snakes that slither on the ground: Early Feathered Serpent precursors such as seen in Olmec art tie into the iconography of sky--bands, which represent those boundaries and are often placed in separating thresholds in architecture, such as doorways; and Quetzalcoatl in myths often transgresses both from the heavens to the earth (such as the Toltec ruler Ce Acatl Topiltzin) and to the underworld (such as when he retrieved the mythical bones from the underworld to revive/create humanity). Quetzalcoatl to the Aztec and as mentioned in legends about the Toltec also ties into the Morning Star venus. The Teotihuacano feathered serpent also has water associations, with the Temple dedicated to the diety having aquatic reliefs featuring sea shells and in addition to a feathered serpent sculptural facade, a facade of sculptures of what's identified either as crocodiles or Teotihuacan's version of the goggled/fanged Rain God. This temple was also aligned with a canalized river, so it seemed like the river erupted forth from it (with the shimmering scales of a snake likened to the surface of water, and the flowing curves of a river to a snake's body), and the plaza in front of it even being able to be ritualistically flooded like the Roman Colosseum. (Notice also here how shells, the curving snake/river shape, etc tie into the Conches and spiral fret motifs I mentioned earlier such as with the Aztec's learning-wind Quetzalcoatl: If you google "A STUDY OF MESOAMERICAN RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM" there's a infograph showing how all those visual motifs tie into each other) So there's a lot of typings you could assign a Feathered Serpent pokemon that would tie into these: Dragon, Psychic, Flying, Fairy, Water, etc... but fire? Not so much. The thing is, though, there IS a snake associated with fire in Mesoamerican mythology! Xiuhcoatl in Aztec culture (some assert its precursor is the Teotihuacano war serpent) is a mythical rattlesnake often accompanying the sun in Aztec art, and the war god Huitzilopochtli (the Fire god Xiuhtecuhtli too in some depictions) wields the Xiuhcoatl as a weapon (interpreted as a abstraction of a sun ray, or as a zoomorphized atlatl, a sort of dart throwing projectile weapon) to defeat his sister, Coyoxququi, and their brothers the Centzon Huitznauhtin; the myth usually being interpreted as an allegory for the sun's rise over the moon and stars (though some dispute that). Xiuhcoatl itself is often adorned with star/stellar iconography, and Karl Taube argues that then "Xiuh", beyond meaning turquoise and fire, means meteor, with the darts Xiuhcoatl fires as an atlatl being meteors or comets. Alternatively, some sources liken Xiuhcoatl's darts to lightning bolts: Xiuhcoatl is also associated with the dry winter season, there bush fires can occur via lightning strikes. Taube also notes "Xiuh" can mean herb, and the pointed rattle on the end of it's tail resembles Aztec depictions of flowers or grasses/reeds, too (this design also resembles the glyph for "year" (allegedly sun rays too) and Xiuhcoatl is too associated with time, as are solar cycles, fire drills and ritual hearths etc) .There's even some iconographic links tying Xiuhcoatl to butterflies and especially caterpillars, with some arguing it was one as much as/alternatively to a snake! Now, I don't think Fuecoco is going to turn into Xiuhcoatl either, but it'd make more sense than Quetzalcoatl, fire is undoubtedly the primary association Xiuhcoatl has, with electric (lightning) psychic, fairy (stars/cosmos/comets) grass (the dry winter grasses, the tail) and even bug being other potential types there.

[@kingdedede3814]

Damn bro I’m Mexican and I didn’t know a bunch of those things, it was fun reading that! Also, although I would really like a starter to represent Quetzalcoatl, I too doubt Fuecoco would be connected to em since Quetzal isn’t associated with fire at all... but you know Game Freak, Pokemon sometimes take wild paths when evolving, Xiuhcoatl is at least a bit more possible and would be cool as well (staying a crocodile would be nice too though)

[@dandereninja4750]

This is a great read but Europe also has winged serpents. In fact many of the earliest depictions of ‘dragons’ are simply winged serpents. One such winged Serpent was the Cuélebre of Spain which was referenced in the video.

[@MajoraZ]

@@dandereninja4750 Actually, Mesoamerican feathered serpents usually aren't winged, they usually just have feathered instead of scales and a tasseled tail, sometimes a mane of featheres around the neck. I can only think of 1 or 2 depictions with actual wings.

[@humourlessjester3584]

In my opinion Fuecoco might evolve into a Fire-Ghost type. Due to its pepper body and that white mask it has on its head I can see a possible connection to Fiesta De Los Muertos in Mexico and Ghost peppers that are imported from Mexico to Spain (I think).

about their final evos I think Fuecoco resembles a lot like totodile, its possible that it might be a pure fire type (chili+fucoco), while spriggy might be grass/fairy or grass/psychic, while quaxly is definitely going to be water/flying (hybrid of swan-seagull with pirate or captain based theme)

That typing actually sounds perfect. At the end of their evolutionary lines, their typing would put every starter on an even playing field against the other. The grass beat water beat fire beat grass is counteracted perfectly by a steel beat fairy beat fighting beat steel typing. At the end, any one of them has a near equal chance of winning a fight.

[@siobhannicolson5566]

tbh my dream spriggatito evolution is a grass/fairy or grass/psychic type lion with a GIGANTIC flower mane. there's also been a theory going around that fuecoco may evolve into a ghost type, due to ghost peppers and a mythological ghost crocodile lizard thing (I believe) and I love that theory!

[@thunderbro7218]

When gen 1 came out obviously charizard couldn’t be dragon type however i can definitely see it working for Fuecoco

[@THGMR-ox7sd]

Pokémon can have their type changed. In gen 6 when fairy type was introduced, some Pokémon changed to fairy type. Obviously charizard hasn’t changed to fire/dragon but it got a mega evolution that did.

You know after playing the games and seeing the true final Evo's, I have to wonder if they made this set to debunk all those starter theory predictions. Like Fuecoco's isn't a serpent or anything, Quaxley's doesn't really have a weapon theme (an argument could be made for a fan but that's a stretch) and Sprigatitto's isn't really and extinct animal.

[@VictorbrineSC]

They never followed any theory or format, it was just fans coming up with conjectures and taking coincidences as facts

[@numynum]

As a Portuguese person I was a bit on edge when I saw this on my feed, given that the pokemon community simply cannot go a single second without being xenophobic (I've seen far too many comments on non serpentine Fuecoco fan evolutions that completely disregard customs such as the Coca festival because it doesn't fit with the zodiac theme and plenty of other terrible things) but you never fail to deliver quality! This was a great video and I was actually quite surprised to see someone else who sees Quaxly's final evo being Water/Fighting :D!! Keep up the good work man P.S: I want a semi bidepal weed cat bc that concept is underrated and there's not enough mons like that, plus it pleases both parties c:

[@KingJavv_editz]

Fuecoco turning into a serpentine would just make it a complete ripoff of snivy. Both snivy and fuecoco’s body shape already look alike why take it even further and make it a serpentine like serperior. If you agree with fuecoco becoming a serpentine, you’re gonna be one the pokemon fans bawiling their eyes with you can’t use the chines zodiac anymore

[@numynum]

@@KingJavv_editz tbh I have to somewhat agree I don't mind people using the zodiac theory(when people aren't blatantly disregarding designs based off of a specific culture that is), but I definitely disagree with it Not only because... Cyndaquil exists but also because to me, someone who studies character design it always felt like a really basic reading of the starters Like... Really? There's so much that goes into designs such as Delphox, Inceneroar, Typhlosion and etc... And the most a lot of people took from them was the Chinese Zodiac? Come on man :x (plus it's an extremely restrictive theme to go by, I doubt all of the designers really bother with such a thing) TLDR: I don't care much for the theory, I disagree with it, would much prefer Fuecoco to remain a crocodile /lizard like. That's my own 2 cents. No biggie

Hey love your fakemon vids

[@MrAuthor3DS]

- I also considered Grass/Rock, if Sprigatito-3 takes elements of Tezcatlipoca (an Aztec god associated with jaguars and obsidian mirrors). - I had actually considered Fire/Fairy as a possibility for Fuecoco-3...though more in the direction of a winged serpent being very similar to a seraphim, a type of angel. - Some of Quaxly's names seem to relate to hairstyles, so perhaps its crest could become more prominent - and even weaponized - as it evolves. Maybe as a...mohawk? A halberd-like mohawk? Double wordplay, heh.

[@kayokango]

I really REALLY do not want Fuecoco to turn into a snake. It was intensely stupid when Snivey did it, and this would be no different. Besides, the whole fire starter zodiac thing has been utterly busted since gen 2. Even if they are, or at least were going for it, it was always disingenuous.

[@JcShadowmonster]

Thank you! There's nothing rat like about Cyndaquil!

[@tkfarms7882]

Personally, I've always felt that the 'themes' that people attach to the starters based on type are a stretch; yes, even the Chinese zodiac theory (Cynaquil is not a rat and Fennekin is most certainly not a dog), so it disproportionately annoys me when people blindly assume that Game Freak is 'doing this' on purpose when the theories are hardly watertight. Also, I have zero qualms whatsoever about a bipedal Sprigatito evolution, and think that it could actually be really cute. Just, please, don't go the Incineroar route, because Incineroar already exists and while it's not horribly hideous, I personally think it's on the ugly side.

[@chunkymonkey7983]

Right!? The water weapon theory and extinct grass theory make even less sense...

I had the same idea of Sprigatito becoming something like a Smilodon/Puss in Boots but remaining on all fours and Fuecoco going into the direction of Quetzalcoatl. Quaxly on the other hand, while still maintaining the sailor/concistador/pirate direction, when looking at it's feet, I think it would rather go in the direction of a Blue footed booby, a coastal bird related to gannets and which is found on the Galapagos islands and the western coasts of Ventral and South America,

I like your prediction of typing because all the secondary types are strong against their main typing weakness like how the fire guy is fairy and grass guy is steal and although fire is four times weakness any fairy moves are not effective

[@Decapitationtrain]

Literally every single one of these was better than the end result.

[@MrFlyerRow]

For me, I would like to see Fuecoco with the double types Fire / Ground. None of the fire starters got this combination, only Camerupt got it. Plus it's a chili pepper, it doesn't grow in trees but near the ground. And his legs give me the impression that it's well anchored in the ground, therefore his final evolution could be powerful and heavy. For Quaxly, well it's a bird / duck. I know it could be kinda obvious and lazy but Water / Fly it's all I can see. Maybe Fighting or Dark because Navy Army or Pirate stuff but hey, it could be the first water starter to fly. And Sprigatito. It could be kinda bold, even strange but they did that in Arceus with Voltorb so it's not impossible. Yeah, Grass / Electric. Because I would like to see a kind of forest beast like a lynx / tiger able to camouflage itself in the bushes to hunt. And when he runs, (as a quadruped duh) he produces friction with his thick coat and thus produces static electricity. And if its final evolution is a smilodon, it could be a cool idea to see it using his "saber-tooth" as a conductor for its electrical attacks, like Thunder Fang! So, for me, It'll be Grass/Electric - Fire/Ground - Water/Fly

[@xaviermarkham4935]

bromojumbos fuecco design is the coolest fakemon i think i've ever seen

[@zachmcmullen2741]

I've had ideas for all three - grass/poison Chimera, fire/fairy* dragon turtle, water/steel Waved Albatross. All take from the theme "gen 1 true typings", literally for Sprigatito, jokingly for Fuecoco (dragons are a fairy tale), and metaphorically for Quaxly (a water tank). I like Quaxly's most because it becomes a tropical Empoleon, and would also look physically opposite to match the climate change. Fuecoco's "kotatsu" look would fulfill the desire to stand on a flat mobile surface while pointing dramatically forward, or lazing about when it's a bit cold outside. Sprigatito stays quadrupedal and has a Girafarig aesthetic that I need at least one of in each region. Each also pulls from a different historic direction - North for Greek Sprigatito, East for Chinese Fuecoco, and West for Galapagos** Quaxly. Fun facts for Quaxly if the Galapagos Albatross angle pans out - these birds like to travel 1000 km (621 miles) East to reach Peru, they're favorite foraging site. Imagine an especially sturdy bird decided to fly especially far East and reach Spain, and make a Pokemon out of that.

[@goozgaming9940]

I think fuecoco will be fire ghost as he's a ghost pepper and also got a skull on his face. I can see quaxly becoming dark or fighting type, (mostly fighting) because of the whole navy captain thing. Maybe even giving him the steel typing since he is based off of a Spanish warrior, who wears a steel helmet. Maybe sprigatito would be fairy, but it's very obscure

[@marcosgomez8692]

I am from Spain and I think it’s important to say that Quaxly has a inverted version of the political party “pp” (partido popular) drawn on his hat (this party is mainly voted by people that have a lot of money). Also, his hat can also be seen as a hairstyle, this hairstyle is called “pelo cazo” and it’s mainly used by teens whose parents have a lot of money and live in wealthy areas, this kind of people are called “Cayetanos” or “pijos”. I don’t know, someone might find this interesting.

[@LuckyOwI777]

It's also possibility that only one or two of them will gain a secondary type, and the other(s) stay mono-typed. Not predicting this, but it's a possibility, and it wouldn't be too crazy. It's happened quite a few times

[@ItsStormCentral]

If Fuecoco does indeed end up being something relating to Quetzalcoatl, then it would somewhat match the snake zodiac thus proving the fire starter-zodiac relation.

[@chunkymonkey7983]

Except the fire zodiac thing is dumb and Fuecoco is not going to turn into a snake.

[@Cobalt-Lotus]

For the water one I think it should be like a pop singer or something like that because it looks like he has a pompadour which would tie some origins back to Spain or italy

[@Sakuyamon]

I want that Quetzalcoatl evo of Fuecoco! That looked so cool and a perfect as an evo. I doubt the actual evo will be that perfect.

[@christianshark6678]

I actually think that Fuecoco could lean less towards snake & more towards the cocollona for a very fitting reason. The Coco from Spanish & South American folk tales has a body that is very round & almost coconut like. This could be used as a middle stage as a makeshift cocoon similar to Shelgon, who then becomes a full on dragon/crocodile with butterfly wings as a cocollona. Also the Quelebre is such an obvious idea for a regional Dunsparce evolution if they don’t use it for Fuecoco or a legendary.
