Fuecoco, known in Japan as Hogator (Japanese: ホゲータ, Hepburn: Hogēta), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and one of the first three Pokémon players may choose at the beginning of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Since its initial appearance, Fuecoco has appeared in multiple games in the series, including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise.

Classified as a Fire-type Pokémon, Fuecoco is the first stage of an evolutionary line, eventually becoming Crocalor and later Skeledirge, gaining the secondary typing of Ghost in its final form. It is one of the three Pokémon available at the start of Scarlet and Violet, alongside Sprigatito and Quaxly. Fuecoco has been met positively, primarily for its cute and appealing design.
