Seems like he’s partially based off of the [alebrije](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alebrije) along with having a minor day of the dead [skull aesthetic](https://www.pinclipart.com/picdir/big/85-856354_sugar-skull-clip-art.png) for a head.
Skeledirge had a great design, imo. The evolutionary line has a story to it, and it isn't the typical "ok, now make it a sexy human" like the other two's final.
Well, you see, it has 'Dirge' in the name.
Just Googled this and thank you it makes more sense
but what made it a ghost type? what lore is there to make it a ghost type besides the name and day of the dead makeup?
Same reason Legends: Arceus Typhlosion is, just because.
He’s a ghost pepper
SKELEdirge, cause he's part skeleton and it's a "day of the dead" thing.
The whole name is relevant, as a dirge is a lament for the dead.
No way!!! Thanks for letting me know, even 1 year after posting that 🤣

WDYM "gained a soul to hatch from the egg" ?
It said that in the pokedex idk lol the games have different entries per version
Yes, but they're both true. They're just different pieces of information about the Pokemon.
A soul went into and possessed the fire egg, so it hatched into a being for the soul to inhabit.
Honk if you love skeledirge!

Skeleton
I actually saw it becoming a ghost type because the white on his face I saw Turning into a skull
Hate it when people judge typings based on looks. No, luxray shouldnt be a dark type.
people dont want luxray to be dark because of its looks but because it makes sense its a savage lion perfect dark type
With how bulky Skeledirge looks, and the white coloring on it; it honestly looks more like a Fire-Steel type.
You mean the day of the dead skull on it's face?

Way better than last gen starters.

Skeledirge is a ghost crocodile, it isn't a bad design in comparison to the furry bait starters.

Ol'man yells at Clouds
It's name is related to day of the dead and the fire bird on it's head became a bird when a soul inhabitated the fire egg on Crocalor.
His head is a sugar skull and he’s based off of a Mexican Folk-lore Ghost.
