Sprigatito, the Grass-type starter from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, took the internet by storm immediately after its reveal in early 2022. Quickly nicknamed 'Weed Cat' by fans due to the prominent leaf pattern on its face and its green color palette, the Pokémon became the subject of intense speculation and fan art. Most of the memes surrounding Sprigatito centered on the community's collective plea for it to 'stay on all fours' during its evolution, a reference to past starters like Incineroar and Delphox becoming bipedal. Its cute, feline appearance makes it a versatile template for reaction images, wholesome content, and jokes about the Pokémon franchise's design choices.
