[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]] | |||
Hot Skitty On Wailord Action | The fan term '''HSOWA''' is an acronym that stands for '''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''. It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite the massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. | ||
The term originates from GameFAQs where, when this topic came up, the user 'Endgame' reportedly said "HOT SKITTY ON WAILORD ACTION!". The name then stuck. | |||
The reason why Wailord is included in the {{egg3|Field}}, the same group Skitty is in, in the first place is likely because whales are mammals, like most other Pokémon in the Field group. | |||
