History

As a wild Pokémon

Fuecoco and Roy

Prior to meeting Roy and Liko, Fuecoco was a wild Pokémon living in Paldea. At some point it came across the Rising Volt Tacklers and joined them on their journey around the world aboard the Brave Asagi.

Fuecoco debuted in HZ002. It was first seen welcoming Liko to the Brave Asagi alongside Pawmi. During the Explorers' attack on the ship, Fuecoco joined Friede's Charizard to help Orla fuel the ship's combustion.

In HZ004, Fuecoco got surprised by Liko during one of its singing practices sessions and ran away. After the Brave Asagi made a emergency landing to fix some patches, Fuecoco accidentally slid from the aircraft and landed in the island's shore. It stole some Berries from the local wild Pokémon and food from Roy's Secret Base before being found by the boy, which heard its singing from afar. Fuecoco got embarassed and tried to run away, only for it to almost fall from a cliff if not for Roy. They bonded a little, and the boy encouraged it to sing. After hearing a nearby commotion, Roy and Fuecoco both ran toward it and helped Liko and Sprigatito to run away from the wild Pokémon. They were quickly found by the Pokémon, and Fuecoco tried to launch an Ember to scare them away, but failed, resulting in them getting captured. Friede soon came to their rescue, and Fuecoco had to part ways with Roy.

In HZ005, Fuecoco was informed by Mollie that Roy came looking for it the night before and had gifted it some Berries after not being able to find it. Wanting to see him again, Fuecoco hurried out of the aircraft and spotted the Explorers in the sea. After finding Roy, Fuecoco frantically told him that something was wrong. They partnered to face off against Zir and his Rhydon, and Fuecoco was finally able to use Ember with some encouragement in the form of singing from Roy.

Fuecoco and Liko's Sprigatito

In HZ006, Fuecoco joined in the fight against Amethio and battled alongside Sprigatito against his Ceruledge. Despite being two against one, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a Black Rayquaza emerged from Roy's ancient Poké Ball, resulting in Amethio and the other Explorers retreating. After being healed by Mollie, Friede's Charizard gave it a Poké Ball, which it presented to Roy when he returned to the Brave Asagi and allowed Roy to catch it. Afterwards, they set off on the Brave Asagi, with Roy becoming a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

With Roy

In HZ007, Fuecoco sparred against Liko's Sprigatito. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Ember and Leafage. Later, after being unable to talk to Dot, Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Fuecoco and Sprigatito faced off against Captain Pikachu and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his Double Team, Fuecoco and Sprigatito destroyed each one of Pikachu's copies after Liko figured out his behavior, with Sprigatito managing to almost score a Scratch. After a lunch break, where Fuecoco was revealed to like the spicy flavor, Fuecoco battled against Sprigatito once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a type advantage, Fuecoco was knocked out by Sprigatito's newly-learned Quick Attack, ending Roy's first ever official Pokémon battle in defeat. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea.

Personality and characteristics

Fuecoco and Charizard

Fuecoco is shown to enjoy singing and eating, as expected of its species. When there's someone nearby hearing it sing, however, it gets embarrassed and runs away. After meeting Roy, with whom it bonded over its singing, Fuecoco started to gain confidence in its singing. It's also shown to be clumsy, such as when it accidentally slid off the Brave Asagi.

Despite being a Fire type, Fuecoco doesn't seem to get bothered by water. As first seen in HZ002, Fuecoco greatly admires Friede's Charizard and looks up to it, wanting to help and be around it all the time and even becoming upset when the Flame Pokémon is not around. Mollie theorized that the reason why Fuecoco was on the Brave Asagi to begin with was to be with Charizard. When Fuecoco wants to give gifts, it stores them in its mouth, as seen in HZ006, when Fuecoco gave Roy a Poké Ball so he could catch it. Fuecoco has also been shown to like spicy flavored food.
