Skeledirge, the final evolution of the Gen 9 starter Fuecoco, quickly became a fan favorite in the Pokémon community for its unique Fire/Ghost typing and its signature move, Torch Song. Often depicted as a powerful croon-singing crocodile with a soul-containing firebird on its snout, Skeledirge is a staple in memes about the 'glow-up' from the goofy Fuecoco into a menacing powerhouse. It is frequently used in scenarios involving heavy metal aesthetics, dramatic entrances, or jokes about its surprising competitive dominance. Whether players are highlighting its haunting appearance or its soulful singing ability, Skeledirge has solidified its place as a symbol of the Scarlet and Violet era's distinct personality.
