About

Wooper is a Water/Ground type Pokemon introduced in the second generation of Pokemon games. The Pokémon grew into a fan favorite in the decades since it was introduced, eventually appearing in several memes, including a joke where its game sprite was paired with the word "This."

Wooper made its first appearance in Pokemon Gold & Silver, games which were released in Japan on November 21, 1999, and in North America on October 15, 2000.[1] It is the 194th Pokemon in the National Dex. Upon reaching level 20, Wooper can evolve into Quagsire.[2]

Blame The Game Awards. During TGA, Sephiroth was revealed as the new Smash Bros. Ultimate character, a notable highlight for many who watched the livestream. Another notable thing that occurred throughout this year's TGA was "Wooper Watch", a Pokemon GO tie-in event with the livestream where Pokemon GO players could catch a Wooper during specific moments. One of the hosts would be on screen saying "it's time for Wooper Watch" and Woopers would run across the screen, signalling when it's time for Pokemon GO players to catch a Wooper.

I guess these two events got some people to mash them together and create Wooper Sephiroth that you now see.
