Crocalor (Japanese: アチゲータ Achigator) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It evolves from Fuecoco starting at level 16 and evolves into Skeledirge starting at level 36.

Biology

Crocalor is a bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon. Its body is mostly red, but its face and chest are white, and its hands and feet are black. It has yellow rectangular scales covering its back and tail, and a pattern of black and yellow stripes on its chest. Its face has a long snout, red square cheeks, a pattern of two red triangles resembling nostrils, and a hook-like upper jaw. When Crocalor opens its mouth, three pairs of canine teeth can be seen lining its lower jaw. Atop Crocalor's head is an orange mass of fire energy shaped like a nest, with yellow squares patterning it. This "nest" contains a yellow, glowing, egg-shaped fireball on top, borne out of Crocalor's fire energy and overflowing vitality.

Crocalor's internal flame sac has a valve that connects to its vocal cords. As a result, Crocalor lets out guttural cries as it releases fire from its mouth.

Trivia

Origin

Crocalor resembles a crocodile, and the nest on top of its head resembles a Mona de Pascua, a traditional Spanish cake from Catalonia sometimes served with a hard-boiled egg or egg-shaped confectionery on top; but it could also vaguely resemble a bouquet of Mexican marigold, or a sombrero hat. Its overall appearance and affinity towards vocal performance make it vaguely similar to a mariachi player, as seen with the vest design on its chest. It also loosely resembles La Calavera Catrina, given the calavera pattern on its face and the sombrero. Crocalor caring for an "egg" atop its head may also be inspired by the observed maternal behavior in crocodiles.

Name origin

Crocalor may be a combination of crocodile and calor (Spanish and Portuguese for heat).

Achigator may be a combination of あちち achichi (hot!), mariachi, and alligator.
