Fuecoco
This dino–crocodile Pokémon has a cute and happy design with an out like that resembles a stuffed piquillo pepper. Its design and name represent its Spanish roots and its overall aesthetic appeals to me and the fan base. It has a short red stocky body with large short legs and tiny arms.
It has a white face that mimics a ghost or a skull mask. With red all over, apart from the white skull mask under its body.
Fuecoco is the cutest laid-back Pokémon out there that reminds you of Snorlax. It moves at its own pace and loves to eat; it runs towards any food it finds with joy to eat. The yellow squares everyone makes fun of are scales that absorb heat; they convert this heat into fire energy.
These scales are always warm and can get very hot depending on the temperature. The little yellow aura above Fuecoco’s head is fire energy leaking out of its body. Whenever Fuecoco gets excited, the flame burns brighter or grows.
