About
Skeledirge is the confirmed, purported final evolution of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet fire type starter Pokémon Fuecoco. The character design for the Pokémon was possibly revealed as part of a series of leaks that spread ten days before the release of the game, alongside Meowscarada and Quaquaval.
Origin
On November 8th, 2022, there was a massive leak of supposed information about the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, including the full evolution lines of Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly. That day, Redditor Hatefull_creeper2 posted the design for Skeledirge, the supposed final evolution for Fuecoco, in /r/PokeLeaks,[1] gaining over 2,800 points in eight days (shown below).
Spread
Just like Meowscarada and Quaquaval, the design of Skeledirge spread on social media and fan art followed, as some users expressed their appreciation of the Pokémon's design. For example, on November 9th, 2022, echhigoblin[2] posted art[3] that gained over 10 retweets and 138 likes in seven days (shown below, left).
