Fuecoco is a Snake or a Bull? Understanding the Chinese Zodiac Connection
It's a classic topic for any Pokémon fan to debate: Do the Fire Starters follow a Chinese Zodiac pattern? And after Fuecoco was introduced, the Fuecoco Zodiac Animal was heavily scrutinized by the fandom. It was believed Game Freak Zodiac Theory had been busted. Let's explore this unique Pokémon Fire Starter Theory.
What is the Chinese Zodiac Theory?
This theory was gaining popularity among Pokémon fans because of some really cool details. Each new Gen IX Fire Starter had its Fire Starter Evolution linked to a Chinese Zodiac animal! This became something fans eagerly awaited. As it stands, the Chinese Zodiac has 12 animals: Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. Of those, eight animals had clear links! So, when Fuecoco Fire Starter debuted, people believed it was over.
