Fans on TikTok have even proclaimed Fuecoco as their “son,” with one video expressing anguish that an enemy Pokémon appeared to “slap” the fire-type starter across the face. I’m sorry to say that Pokémon is an anime about making your pets fight each other. We’re probably going to see a lot more injured Fuecoco before it evolves into a Crocalor. For now, please enjoy his goofy little antics.

It isn’t just Fuecoco’s singing abilities that charms fans. The fire-type starter has the disposition of a small child. Just watch him drop his Chesto Berry into the ocean, and then cry about it. Damn, that’s relatable. I too have dropped my snacks onto the ground and then become inconsolable about it.

Fuecoco is good, actually. Just look at him. You can’t possibly resist the charms of that sleeping face. Pikachu left massive shoes to fill, but Fuecoco is carving out his own niche among lovable Pokémon mascots.
