No. 910: Crocalor

back to awkward middle stages
So when I first saw this guy, I thought it was a jaunty sombrero. Fitting, given the Latin flair in Fuecoco's name and the Dia de los Muertos theme that Skeledirge ends up with. But in this artwork, it really doesn't look like a sombrero at all. Probably because it's intended to be a nest, for an egg.

And yeah, it could be both a hat AND a nest, but it's kinda disappointing because big wide-brimmed sombreros are awesome and birds are dumb. But I guess it explains where the bird comes from for Skeledirge.

if it sounds like I'm already trying to move along to the next evolution, it's because Crocalor is a dumpass who doesn't even have a cool hat.


Overall: 3/10

  2. Honestly there's not enough hat representation in Pokémon.

    1. An Old West cowboy Pokemon with a cowboy hat would be the greatest thing ever

    2. Agreed. Except as an animal. I don't want a cowboy getting the Hitmonchan treatment.
