  • Unearth the lore of Pecharunt's past and its battle with Ogerpon.
  • Complete postgame events to discover Pecharunt in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.

The Pokémon Company released a new video today showing off one of the new Mythical monsters added to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet in the game's latest DLC. Right now, you can play the epilogue for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, claim a Mythical Pecha Berry as one of the Mystery Gifts, and make your way to Peachy's in Mossui Town, Kitakami. There you'll find a mysterious link with the newly discovered Pecharunt. In order to play this, you'll need to complete a certain postgame event in the main game, as well as finish the stories of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero and Pokémon Violet – Part 1: The Teal Mask and Part 2: The Indigo Disk. A lot of work, but probably worth it, as we have the creature's stats and info below.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Pecharunt

Somewhere in the land of Kitakami, the Mythical Pokémon Pecharunt has been awaiting its time to reawaken. This Pokémon rolls up poison secreted from its shell to make Binding Mochi, which is served to people and Pokémon. Pecharunt then uses chains to control those who eat its Binding Mochi, which is not only delicious but also appears to bring out the deepest desires and powers of those who eat it. Pecharunt can also be very sly. For example, it will feign weakness by weeping and acting like a baby to gain the sympathy of others.

There is a theory that long ago, Pecharunt traveled to the land of Kitakami with the Loyal Three, each of whom it had subjugated using its Binding Mochi – all to obtain certain masks coveted by an elderly couple who lived with Pecharunt. Pecharunt found itself embroiled in a battle with Ogerpon over the masks – ultimately resulting in Pecharunt's defeat. It withdrew into its shell and, over time, became known to the locals as the Never-rotting Peach. What appears to be a mere decoration in a shop is, in fact, Pecharunt eagerly awaiting its time to return.​

  • Category: Subjugation Pokémon
  • Type: Poison/Ghost
  • Height: 1' (0.3m)​
  • Weight: 0.7 lbs. (0.3 kg)​
  • Ability: Poison Puppeteer

Pecharunt's Posion Puppeteer is a new Ability introduced for the first time in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. This Ability causes Pokémon that are poisoned or badly poisoned by Pecharunt's moves to also become confused. Pecharunt's new move, Malignant Chain, is an attack that launches a chain of poison that may leave its target badly poisoned.
