Biology

Sizzlipede is an insectoid Pokémon with a long, flat body. Its thorax and head are mainly red-orange with dark brown sections across its body and yellow rings on its underside which can get very hot. Two fiery whiskers protrude from its face, and it uses its short stubby legs to move around.

Sizzlipede uses its coils to wrap around the prey before using its heated body to cook it. Sizzlipede, much like its evolved form Centiskorch, can generate heat using the flammable gas stored within its body. Once the prey is cooked to well-done, it will voraciously nibble at them piece by piece until the last morsel. Sizzlipede is related to Skorupi, with the two sharing a common ancestor. It is a similar species to Venipede, but often gets into fights with it whenever the two meet.

Evolution

Sizzlipede evolves into Centiskorch.

Trivia

• Sizzlipede and its Evolution were designed by James Turner.[1]
• Sizzlipede is the lightest Pokémon to learn Heat Crash.
• Despite the Scolipede and Centiskorch evolutionary lines living in different parts of the Galar region, both Venipede and Scolipede's Pokédex entries speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
• Sizzlipede and its evolved form, Centiskorch, are the only Fire-type Pokémon with a multiped body.

Origin

Sizzlipede seems to be based on centipedes, like Orphaneus brevilabiatus, also known as the fire centipede due to its bioluminescence. It may also be inspired by millipedes with the same ability, like the Sierra luminous millipedes. Its category suggests it also takes inspiration from radiators.

Name origin

Sizzlipede may be a combination of sizzle and millipede or centipede.

Yakude may be a combination of 焼く yaku (to burn) and 蚰蜒 yasude (millipede) or 百足 mukade (centipede).
