However, some Pokémon fans are still holding onto the hope that the Fire Croc Pokémon’s evolution will ultimately show that it deserves a spot in the zodiac and that Game Freak has simply taken a more surprising route with its design. This has caused Pokémon fans to question whether or not its reveal has “debunked” the zodiac theory.

Looking into Fuecoco’s released initial Pokédex information, the company categorized it as the Fire “Croc” Pokémon and its design certainly could be seen as inspired by real-world crocodiles. The release of the starters from Generation 3 to 8 strengthened the theory because each new Fire-typer starter appeared to correspond to one of the zodiac animals… until the release of Fuecoco. Charmander and Cyndaquil are somewhat looser interpretations of the zodiac animals they represent, because Charmander is considered to be a Fire Lizard Pokémon (but later on evolves into the dragon-like Charizard) and Cyndaquil is more of an echidna rather than a rat, but according to its Pokédex entry, it’s categorized as the Fire Mouse Pokémon. The Pokémon Company has not spoken about this nor confirmed anything about this theory, but the image above shows how reasonable the theory is (right?!).īased on the image, each animal on the Chinese zodiac represents a Fire-type starter since Generation 1.
