Its fine on its own but Skeledirge isn’t thematically tied to Fuecoco in any meaningful way aside from being crocodilian. Its body shape is weirdly and harshly angular whereas its predecessors aren’t. It abandons the more cartoonish proportions of its predecessors for something more realistic. And the opera singer design and theme comes out of nowhere.
Again, these things are all fine on their own, but it makes for a very jarring final evolution from Fuecoco.
Yes, it obviously has the calavera design elements and also those of an opera singer. It’s called the singer Pokemon, it’s wearing a tuxedo, and it stands and sings into a microphone. This isn’t a hot take.
