Gouging Fire (Japanese:ウガツホムラUgatsuhomura) is a dual-typeFire/DragonParadox Pokémon introduced duringGeneration IX, inThe Indigo Disk.

While it is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon, Gouging Fire is said to be either an ancient relative ofEntei or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Biology

Gouging Fire is a massive lion ceratopsian hybridPokémon with somemastiff qualities. It is covered in brown fur with three green spike lines on both back legs. There is cream belly fur on its chest. It has five grey spikes on its back and a long, light gray cloud of smoke running along its entire back, resembling a tail. Gouging Fire has four gray paws. The two front paws house three small, red claws. The paws are covered with brown pads and two black cuff-like bands on its front legs and the back legs have only one. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a four-sided star with a golden ceratopsian-shaped skull headpiece. Behind the faceplate is two long brown fur with gold ends on each side of the hair. The headpiece has five gold and yellow horns on each side. At the center is two green circles with two smaller red circles inside. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It has shorter green fur around its blue eyes.

Gouging Fire is noteworthy for the large, spiky crest on its head, and is believed to have a powerful control over fire. There are scant few reports of this creature being sighted, though one short video shows it rampaging and spouting pillars of flame.^[1] It resembles an eerie Pokémon once shown once in Occulture, and it was said to be anEntei regenerated from a fossil. It is rumored that Gouging Fire can summon magma eruptions simply by roaring.^[2] Gouging Fire can superheat its furto both protect itself and burn any foes that make physical contact with it.

According toAI Sada, Gouging Fire is an ancient Pokémon related to Entei. However, according to a version of Professor Sada that appeared at theCrystal Pool, Gouging Fire is a counterpart of Entei from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Gouging Fire was brought to the depths ofArea Zero by atime machine built by Professor Sada ten years ago. 200 years ago,Heath also encountered Gouging Fire, as seen in the Scarlet Book, though it is unclear how it arrived there at the time.

Origin

Gouging Fire is based onEntei. It also resemblesceratopsian dinosaurs, most notably theStyracosaurus andSinoceratops due to both having a similar arrangement of horns around the head. Conceptually speaking, it could be inspired by theDeccan Traps, a volcanic formation in India whose activity is theorized to have had a great influence on the extinction of dinosaurs. The Deccan Traps started being formed in the Cretaceous period, the era in which ceratopsians lived. Gouging Fire's resemblance to Entei would therefore come from Entei being associated with volcanoes.

Name origin

Gouging Fire is literallygouging fire.

Ugatsuhomura can be taken literally as 穿つ炎ugatsu homura (piercing flame).
