A new Pokemon Scarlet and Purple leak claims to unveil Chochodile’s final evolution. However, some fans consider the creation “too perfect”…
On February 27, The Pokémon Company officially unveiled the start of the ninth generation. In the games trailer Pokemon Scarlet and Purplefans were able to see the three Starters: Pushed the Plant type, Hairdresser the Water type and Chochodile the Fire type.
As is the tradition for each new game, leakers try to unearth any confidential information to reveal them in advance on the internet.
As we do not currently know any of the final evolutions of the three Starters, many leaks have emerged on the various networks showing potential designs of the Pokémon.
One in particular caught the attention of part of the community. It concerns the final evolution of Chochodile. However, is this design too perfect to be true..?
There are many theories and rumors surrounding the evolution of 9G starters…
A final evolution of Chochodile “too perfect” for Pokémon Scarlet and Purple
As soon as the image of the supposed “final evolution of Chochodile” was posted online, many fans were quick to look into this leak.
Judging by the Japanese writing and the perfect pencil line, this drawing of Chochodile’s potential evolution seems entirely legit. Gradually, fans started to believe in this leak.

However, other more skeptical people suggested the idea that this drawing was “too perfect”. This led the user ModishAndElegantPony post an image by reviewing each element of the design.
Goddamn.. Anon makes a good point. I’m having a hard time refuting this. from PokeLeaks
He first wanted to praise the technical prowess of the production. “Great concept, perfectly executed” did he write or “Good design choice” speaking of the dragon’s tail and wings.
He noted that the Pokémon’s body was well proportioned with no parts too big or too small, and that there was a logical progression with the first form of the Fire-type Pokémon.
Ultimately, he judged the design to be wrong for being too conformant to Generations 1–3 design standards.
In the comments, some players share the user’s point of view: “It ticks all the boxes to be a good design, so it’s totally wrong.” or “The first thing that caught my eye was how ‘perfect’ and flawless it is for a supposed starter evolution.”
These fans therefore categorized this leak as “Fake”. The final evolution of Chochodile and the other two Starters arouses interest and curiosity from players. Game Freak should reveal more details in the coming months.
