Origin
On January 10th, 2021, Redditor bwill255 made a post to /r/copypasta[1] in response to the Vaporeon copypasta,[2] which is about having sex with Vaporeon, about how Flareon is the most huggable Pokemon (shown below). The post gained over 60 upvotes in just under two years. It was reposted to /r/copypasta[3] on February 16th, garnering over 570 upvotes.
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.
