New Pokémon Video Reveals New Pecharunt Story!

[@TyranitarTube]

Pokemon never done a mythical like this my dudes they're on some next wave right now. Now I gotta ask which side you on LOL: Team Ogerpon or Team Pecharunt

[@dadoll7099]

Ogerpon 100%, Pecharunt was just being a manipulator so it’s all its fault.

[@zexal5499]

​​@@dadoll7099 yh but it was more like he didn't know what it was doing But ogerpon is still justified Its more like pecharunt is a people pleaser

[@donellnorman9158]

Team Ogerpon. Sure Pecharunt had good intentions,but from Ogerpon’s perspective, she found her friend injured/potentially dead and these four running away with her masks. What other conclusion could she come to?

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

Ogerpon easily

[@avi3459]

Team pecharunt 😈

[@CaptainObliviousV]

A secondary theme to SV that I noticed recently, and has been cemented by Pecharunt’s backstory, is “the consequence of greed/obsession”. -Sada/Turo became obsessed with their research and it not only cost them their lives, but almost the lives of you, Nemona, Penny, and their own son Arven (let’s also not forget the neglect and struggles this boy has been through because of their absence), as well as potentially Paldea’s ecosystem. -The Treasures of Ruin were brought to life and given form from items by the greed of other people, and the greed of Paldea’s king in particular was the straw that broke the camel’s back, causing great calamity across the region and causing the empire’s collapse. -Kieran’s obsession with Ogerpon led to him acting rashly and selfishly when he found out we had met her and were actively keeping it a secret from him, resulting in the loyal three being revived, and when she wants to leave Kitakami with us, ignoring Ogerpon’s feelings and demanding that the winner of the battle is the one to get her. After he loses that last battle in Kitakami he becomes obsessed with becoming stronger to the point where he’s willing to push his family and friends away and sacrifice his own health to train. Later in the Underdepths when he’s starting to come out of his shell again, he quickly relapses at the sight of Terapagos, quickly master balling it and trying to beat us with it. When that fails and Briar, completely oblivious to Kieran’s current state of mind this entire time, enthusiastically encourages him to terastalize it, things go wrong and everyone is put in danger. Things work out in the end, and everything could’ve been avoided if we weren’t forced to lie to Kieran, but that’s besides the point I’m getting at. -I don’t need to explain Pecharunt and the Loyal Three, that’s what this video is for lol. All though, it is worth noting how this recontextualizes Pecharunt to be almost child like in nature (fitting for a momotaro parallel). Makes Mochi Mayhem feel sort of like a tantrum. Pecharunt, possibly unaware of its current situation, is taking control of people to try and tear the town apart to keep looking for the masks for the old couple, and it sees us as obstacles.

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

Yeah. Dreams are well and good, until they begin to trounce upon others. Like with Volo in PLA. His dream was incompatible with the world as it was and by extension, your own.

[@Scorpionspear77]

Hopefully once they catch it, the player has a talk with Pecharunt about how what it was doing was wrong.

[@stallsunguy0416]

The same can be said for Lusamine in base S/M, Volo in PLA, Bede & Oleana in Sw/Sh (to an extent), Lysandre in X/Y- You just made me realize this is a secondary theme to Pokémon as a franchise LMAO

[@rayshawnphoenix2135]

👏🏾👏🏾 you broke this down very well thanks a lot‼️ Despite graphics and many other disappointments what I can say is in my opinion this gen has had the best story in a long time…dare I say it’s up there with Hoenn & Unova.

[@boyboilNEO9055]

Briar should’ve known Kieran was going to use terapagos for evil but instead off stopping him she actively encouraged him to use terapagos because of her obsession with heaths research

[@thunderwearcloud]

Is it always timid? Are you not able to change it's nature?

[@Nuigi12]

I like that this is clarification that Pecharunt isn't evil, just misguided. It believed taking control of people and using them was for the better of its survival and how he could get admiration from people. It also proves that Pecharunt can influence people as it made the old couple greedy unintentionally.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

I think the more we see of the pokemon world, very very few pokemon are defined as fully evil, I think if they were there would be no way to truly befriend them. Pecharunt wanted love and affection but only found it at least in it's own mind through gifts and control which is wrong. I think things could have ended up differently if it even realized what it was doing with the mochi which I think it realized when we fight it in game as I bet it's angry due to all the time locked up and realizing it had failed.

[@GreyVictory1510]

Like a certain boy went greedy for power in the DLC.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

Another detail I've noticed from the game is that I think when you catch it, Pecharunt always has a timid nature

[@shuichisaihara53]

I really love what they did with Pecharunt's story. They really let us see every perspective of the Kitakami tale

[@MetalZuko]

Perhaps that was done in the hopes that fans do not necessarily have to choose one side or another. Me? I'm on neither team. I'm simply looking at this story the way a sensible and good-natured child would - like a cautionary tale that says even too much of a good thing can be bad.

[@MM80536]

That's why it's called the Teal Mask The theme is seeing the perspectives of others beyond the mask. Like when Kieran was mad you treated him like an outcast not considering his perspective or when Carmine made assumptions about people she didn't know anything about. It's also the mistake the villagers made about Ogerpon, all they saw was a Raging Ogre

[@MetalZuko]

[@deadlydingus1138]

Pecharunt: We outnumber you 4 to 1. Ogerpon: Then it’s a fair fight.

[@pikasheep]

Also Ogerpon: I like those odds

[@AloneTheorist]

I had a feeling given it's apparent love of dancing in the epilogue that Pecharunt was just looking for friends, it probably stayed with peachy because she reminded it of home. Look carefully at Pecharunt's pose/emote next time you talk to it, often it strikes a pose/emote that looks like it's dancing to a drumbeat.

[@AloneTheorist]

Still kinda sad that Ogerpon's friend died due to a mistake on Okidogi and Fezandipti's part, if they'd have just fled the den instead of retaliating everything would've been just peachy. Also Ogerpon can learn lash out and a number of other moves that can be super effective to the loyal three and Pecharunt as well as a lot of high critical hit rate attacks, so she would've won regardless of which of her masks her companion saved.

[@cristianjordan6357]

Right? Stomping Tantrum was a super fitting move imo. I can definitely see her using that to take em out

[@derpychicken2131]

The story literally says Ogerpon's friend rushed them first, leaving them no other choice but to fight back. They probably wouldve preferred to just flee and not fight

[@kallyle6611]

I think the trope that best describes Pecharunt here is “Even Evil Has Loved Ones.” The Pokémon itself is very greedy and clingy, but it also had people it loved very much. In fact, I think the whole “wants to be loved” schtick present in this video helps make sense of the Mochi Mayhem storyline. Pecharunt was trying to turn Kitakami into a cult that worships it, which is definitely not the mark of a “good” Pokémon.

[@matoomza007]

If you think about it. Pecharunt is also going on it's own Treasure Hunt

[@alvinbiggsjr8351]

[@eduardosolistinoco9698]

3:00 A subtle revelation. That Is without a doubt a mythical pecha Berry. Before It seemed a bit random that this berry could somehow awaken pecharunt to trigger the event, but knowing this, did being close to the berry awaken his memory of His "parents"?

[@mattheworozco5929]

In a way, the three dlc legends seem to represent a different taro of legend. Pecharunt represents Momotaro, as seen in his data name, appearance and backstory. Ogrepon could be the ogre in Pecharunt’s story, but in a different light, she could Kintaro, an orphaned child of immense strength who was raised in the mountains by a man who was seen as a monster. Which leaves Terapagos. Despite being a Paldea legend rather than a kitakami, never mind the fact that all three of them don’t originate from kitakami, he could be the tale of Urashimataro. But the turtle in the story was the princess that led the titular character to the dragon palace for treasures, similar to how terapagos’ abilities and stories led sada and Turo to area zero to unlock the secrets of terastal energy and the time machine.

[@mattheworozco5929]

Also the fact that the mythical Pecha berry was one of the items the old couple requested makes the item in game even more tragic. He was awoken by the memory of his loved ones

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

They said before Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti wanted strength, brainpower, and attractiveness respectively, but this makes it seem that Okidogi was already strong (since it was trusted to carry the gifts), Munkidori already had brainpower (since it could see into the future using psychic power), and Fezandipiti could already attract others (due to its pheromones). It looks like Pecharunt didn’t grant their wishes, but rather made them more of what they were already. It’s a tainted version of the trope of someone wishing for something only for it to turn out they already had it.

[@akhila2521]

It's great to see Pokémon connect all the dots in the backstory. Only mystery that's left is how exactly The Loyal Three got resurrected and if Pecharunt was behind that too

[@lightdarksoul2097]

Kieren had a purple aura so it could be likely or maybe whoever found Pecharunt in the forest had already found it and made mochi, not really giving pecharunt power as it was still asleep but began to wake it up when his Kieren's anger revived the three.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Kieran was at Peachy's when we were forced to lie to him, remember? That's where Pecharunt was lying dormant. I feel like Pecharunt was able to muster the strength to create one Binding Mochi, not even at its full strength, but just enough to do _something._ I could see it feeling sorry for Kieran after overhearing that we lied to him, and wanting to cheer him up with the mochi the old couple so loved. It didn't turn his eyes purple, but it did infuse him with some of Pecharunt's power, it drew out his greed for more power, since he consistently lost to us, and when he punched the Loyal Three's shrine, we see a bit of that power leaking out, and that's probably what did it. The Toxic Chains reacted to that power, and revitalized those who wore them.

[@jason38800]

and terapogus

[@nahidahamed1742]

i think both ogerpon and pecharunt were mistaken for being evil, one was an outcast due to its look and killing mon, while pecharunt was misguided, thinking it needed admiration from anyone by controlling them, and influencing their greed.

[@justatypicalyoutuber8402]

Ttar, if you recall properly, the trio wanted something too. It’s just that Pecharunt amplified their desires tenfold. Okidogi wanted to be strong, Munkidori wanted to be smart, and Fezandipiti wanted to be beautiful. They had these desires ever since but when they met Pecharunt, their desires turned into unjustified greed.

[@Markcrazeer]

Seems like they did have some of the things pecha needed rather than not having that. It just amplified them. Maybe except for dogi that likley was just a random rock ruff. Because for what pecha needed him For you don’t really need anything. But munkey and fessantat likley were psychic and fairy already but significantly less than desired. They could do whatever it was it needed them for but not as well as either party wanted. My guess slowkey and aromatise.

First of all, Pecharunt's nature will always be timid when you catch it in game Second of all, there is a little more information released on the website. Out of everything that is there, some things we haven't seen anywhere else; "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. " "It withdrew into its shell and, over time, became known to the locals as the Never-Rotting Peach"

Its a vicious Circle. Pecharant wanted love but it was cursed to bring out the greed of everyone. And thus the drug old couple without their right mind corrupted it ironically. Since pechrant is also unaware of its ability to bring out the worse of others. With this delusion. They harmed ogrepon. All this for love. and thus ogrepon with vengeance Killed them. Childlike innocence who just wanted to seek love and affection. But has an ability that it appears to be unaware of to bring out the greed of everyone..... So it was doomed to be corupted by other people's dark corruption that the others didnt even mean to do.... Wow... I had a feeling they where gonna dispell the evil pokemon stigma the 4 had but i didnt expect this. Since all pokemon are not evil but just a force of nature or manifestation of emotions not govern by the concept of right or wrong. I was wondering what they would do as a twist. To bring pecharunt and its 3 retainers to a "force of nature" so yes the creation trio, the weather trio. Dark rai, marshado, lugia etc etc yes they all created destruction and restoration, but its all purely as if they are a force of nature. A hurricane , a volcano eruption claiming lives. Or the concept of self-preservation, a war of defense, the will to live when they is only enough food left for only some people. Thats like a Baby seeking love and warmth from its parent and community but it has a cursed or aura placed on it that brings a drug like misfortune to others.

[@amberjackson4882]

Well every story has two sides. I think with the old couple and the loyal three Pecharunt knew the toxic chain could affect others but didn't know that the poison mochi would draw out someones greed.

[@tsunertoo9149]

I lovee personally how pecharunt and Ogrepon are commentarries on Golden Child Syndrome and the quiet kid in the back of the room. Pecharunt believed it was only loved because of its talents and so only used its talentts in order to find love. Meanwhile no one knew just how immensely overpowered Ogrepon is and hated her simply because her master was "ugly" according to the villagers. In the end, because of the source of where her love came fromk, ogrepon faced adversity that would have crushed the hearts of most and came out more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile Pecharunt, in the face ofadversity brought on by the consequences of his own actions. Didn't just lose everything but even ended up putting himself into a self induced coma for hundreds of years sheerly out of emotional trauma

[@elpopman2055]

Now that is a very interesting take.. It's very possible that the loyal Three was Looking For Peachrunt and They Were After Orgepon and Demanding an Explanation on What She did To Peachrunt.. They were Lousy..But they are genuinely loyal To Peachrunt Despite Their Excessive greed. But from its point of view Peachrunt Simply Told Them To Steal The masks.. It had no idea it's retainers ended Up Killing Orgepon's Trainer... What it did was wrong but i'm pretty sure it was confused and Horrified Orgepon's Bloody Rampage and Felt Guilt for getting its companions killed.

[@jakeoruru2475]

I really think the Pecharunt due to its abilities has the mentality of a 3 or four year old and has no concept of right and wrong. It just wants to make the people it loves happy regardless of consequences.

I feel like this explains how our boy Kiki got influenced yet not possessed. The old couple became greedy without being “possessed”, but influenced. Though Pecharunt was weak, its mere presence in that moment of betrayal could easily have influenced/infected Kiki, it was obviously still alive. I personally believe it was influencing the woman who owned Peachy’s to keep it safe. She never sold it and probably had it out on display as a way to draw people in with its sweet scent, Pecharunt easily could’ve influenced/convinced her to keep it like it did the couple.

[@yeatweichin9825]

I believe that，both Kieran and Briar are influenced by Pecharunt in Teal Mask，but no one really noticed that unless us（not even the player character，is US who playing the games） In Indigo Disk，both Pecharunt‘s influence are even stronger and hardly control，but somehow they snapped up from Pecharunt’s effect.

The best case for Pokémon not being naturally evil off rip is Darkrai. He controls and is the cause of Nightmares in the Pokémon world, and they consider him evil for that, when buddy just wants to be left alone and realized nightmares was the best solution for that.

[@wyawardclown]

eh, that's always been weird phrasing to me. like, are they trying to say that no pokemon is born evil? like, i can get behind that, but i could also make a similar case for humans, so like. they ain't special. are they trying to say that pokemon can only be influenced by humans to become evil? the mystery dungeon games contradict that. weird. weirdweirdweirdWEIRD. and anyways, pecharunt is definitely still evil. yeah, its desire for the old couple's love definitely makes me sympathise with it, but like. it's still morally bankrupt. it has no guilt manipulating the old couple and the loyal three (and in mochi mayhem, essentially the entire town), no guilt regarding the theft of the masks, and no guilt regarding TAKING THE LIFE OF ANOTHER LIVING BEING. yeah, maybe if i grew up with the natural ability to semi-mind control the people around me without any consequence whatsoever, i'd also become quite the messed up individual, but. no matter what road i took to get there, the end result is still that i'm a bad person.

Pokémon are not evil unless the trainers are!! That’s from the very first Pokémon season it never left my head

[@seronimo__7735]

That's true. The only other "evil" Pokemon is the more vicious Koraidon/Miraidon, and it was influenced by Sada/Turo

[@DMP64]

This is truly an unfortunate chain of events... Wait... CHAIN OF EVENTS, DID THEY PLAN THIS???

[@jamesperrott1]

I don’t see how this makes Ogerpon look evil lol. She straight up got robbed and got revenge

[@rosenrot234]

For pecharunts perspective she is. He wasn't in the cave. He figured all was well and then suddenly boom. All three of his friends are dead and he's about to get hit really really hard to the point of being in a coma

[@jamesperrott1]

@@rosenrot234 no from pecharunts perspective she isn’t. Even if she wasn’t in the cave it’s obviously revenge

I meant in Pechas perspective she is the evil one. Because again. They didn't tell anyone to murder anyone. Just steal. @@jamesperrott1

[@LemurFrenzy212]

I loved this short, and it was so unexpected to see! It only makes me want voice acting in the games though, it felt so good to be told a story like this.

[@JarMan3]

If you look at it from both sides, both of them aren’t in the right or the wrong. Ogrepon and Pecharunt have similar stories of happiness and loss. It’s really hard to pin the blame on either of them.

[@elegant_lilligant]

The number 88 is NOT meant to be evil, it symbolizes good luck in Japanese folklore.

[@harkharring2572]

Oh interesting. I assumed the 8s were supposed to be chains

[@Browntown747]

In Chinese mythology 8 is a lucky number and 88 is more double luck however 888 isn’t good but bad since it adds up to 24 in Chinese mythology numbers that end in 4 means death

[@elegant_lilligant]

@@harkharring2572 It also represents chains too!

[@OJ-Scrimpson]

Yo the fact that they DIDN'T have to dump this lore, but they did it anyways! Love it!

[@Shinrius]

Now that i remember the only mythical that have a similar introduction by youtube video was meltan and melmetal but gamefreaks step up even more with this one

[@shadowbullet1222]

technically Ogrepon and Pecharunt is not at fault here because they have good intention and reasons why they did those things. In Pecharunt's defense he just like to please the old couple who is taking advantage of him because he loves his family. And in Ogrepon's defense, they killed the only friend she have and stole their masks. So bottom-line, I think the one who is fault here is the greed of the old couple. Too bad that this lore drop is not available in game, I mean it is well fitted on the epilogue?

[@GustavoJua15]

The couple's greed itself came about due to the mochi they were fed. So it was Pecharunt's own power which came back to bite the poor little guy.

[@Gimas96]

I wouldn't be surprised if the old couple desires came from pecharunt itself,he wished to gift the couple these items and the mind controlled couple asked for what pecharunt wanted to gift them.The story infact say that "Pecharunt was tired of the usual wishes and he was happy when the couple asked him to bring them the masks",pecharunt wanted to gift the couple with the masks and the mind controlled couple asked for the masks.This story confirm that all that mess were caused by a selfish and egotistic pokemon.

[@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale]

there's no bad guys in the backstory. Pecharunt UNINTENTIONALLY made the couple greedy and just wanted to fulfill their wishes, and Ogerpon was justified to be vengeful after being robbed and had her human killed. Now, why Pecharunt made the land of Kitakami do the chicken dance, no idea. It still could be the bad guy then. But in the backstory, there's no intentional evil.

[@Barbley_Figglehorn]

The video makes it seem like nobody really was a villain, and was a bunch of accidents

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Man, we had the little guy all wrong! He just wanted the old couple to be happy, they were his entire world! And the Loyal Three, they were just good friends trying to help each other out.

[@CB_W0lf]

I hope we get one for Terapagos, the little turtle is so mysterious! I know its a Legendary, not a Mythical, but I'd still love to see some of Terapago's history.

[@georgegamer1668]

Babe wake up TTar is reacting to Pecharunt lore 🗣️‼️

[@chukasssss]

Pecharunt's mochi effect, which affects one's greed means that The Loyal Three really weren't being controlled after all. They got what they wanted from Pecharunt, but they stayed with Pecharunt because the little peach was their precious friend. They were loyal after all. They were only ever subjugated as a retainer when Ogerpon attacked.

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

I'm not even sure they were subjugated there, either. Pecharunt fed them all Binding Mochi, yeah, but notice none of their eyes turn purple (I thought Fezandipiti's did for a moment at first, but that's just how his eyelids normally look). I don't think Binding Mochi has the same effect on Pokémon that have Toxic Chains. I think it was more a quick pre-battle power-up

[@thexdestroyer7742]

If you think about it this happened because pecharunt didn’t understand it’s own power which caused it to make a life ending mistake. Also by knowing the full story neither pecharunt or Ogrepon are good but neither of them are evil it’s all just a misunderstanding.

[@tmc31390]

Both Ogerpon and Pecharunt were victims of loneliness, but Pecharunt definitely caused some of its own misfortune.

[@AshXXMayftw]

I hope they keep doing this for future gens. It's a very entertaining way of presenting backstory without it being relegated to boring exposition in game.

[@dragnickfirewolf6347]

Im on team Ogerpon, but i would give Pecharunt a chance for friendship, since i belive Pecharun didn't know it mochi was making the old couple greedy.

[@clowneggion]

No way I literally joked “what if it isn’t actually evil, what if it just has a personality disorder or something” when I first played lmfao

[@Theboi438]

This immediately reminded me of celesteela’s story in the anime.

[@Sailor11Sedna]

Poor Pecharunt. It made the mochi for the old couple but didn’t have the heart to completely brainwash them. And when they got greedy, it couldn’t refuse them. Eventually they asked for something they didn’t have a right to. Ogrepon lost its companion, Pecharunt lost everyone it cared about, and nobody ended up with what they wanted. I love a sad ending! 😭

[@iancastro1327]

I really like this take on the story you feel bad for Pecharunt but also for Ogerpon and the loyal three? They are just the puppets on this story

[@isadoraalvarez9767]

I think it’s so interesting that the reason we see pecharunt as evil is because we saw ogerpon’s side first. We grew attached to ogerpon first. Maybe pecharunt wouldn’t be the ‘subjugation’ Pokémon if we met it first. Just as the villagers saw only the loyal 3’s dead bodies and their fear of ogerpon already they assumed ogerpon was evil and the loyal 3 were good we assumed pecharunt was evil and ogerpon was good. I just think it’s so intresting that they chose to withhold this information until AFTER we met pecharunt. It must have been like how the villagers had to change their perspective about ogerpon

[@tranatkikomi6873]

The difference is the villagers already feared Ogerpon. The events of the night the masks were stolen only “cemented their fears” and justified their views even though Ogerpon and her friend never did anything except arrive at the village and then quietly retreat to a den in the mountain because clearly they weren’t welcome in the village. We first see Pecharunt use its mochi to control everyone in Mossui Town except Kieran and MC. And even before meeting it, we see that the Loyal Three were Retainer Pokémon, so someone had to have subjugated them somehow.

[@FlooftyZoroark]

I love this story! Pecharunt wanted to make the old couple happy and Ogerpon and her companion were unfortunately caught up in it. The way I see it, it's an sad story of misunderstanding. It's not like Pecharunt set out looking to cause harm. I feel for both Ogerpon and Pecharunt. Also, Pecharunt didn't seem to be aware the effect its mochi had in the past. I thought the story would've taken a turn like Pecharunt trying to manipulate the old couple for evil reasons, but it instead went out of its way to bring them stuff just to gain their love. Maybe Pecharunt's will and emotions are somehow being displayed through those who eat its mochi. The reason the old couple became greedy might be because Pecharunt was also greedy for love and affection. And the Loyal Three were able to befriend Pecharunt because its will was to have companions on its journey for safety and comfort. By the time we play the DLC, it possibly learned how to better control that power. What a neat story, Gamefreak did an amazing job with Scarlet and Violet's story and characters. I hope to see more deep, lore-driven stories like this in future Pokémon games!

[@MZDX_]

Pokémon casually saying “Oh yea Ogerpon killed like 4 Pokémon”

[@zanegoldranger]

After the dlc you can fight carmine and she brings up the fact that pecharut looks similar to the loyal three and comments on how they might be related she says this the 2nd time you talk to her keep up the good work ttar

[@Anthony_Ender]

Hey TTar, this backstory leaves out some things, like how the Loyal Three were seen to be bragging about taking the masks, and how when you use any of the Loyal Three against Pecharunt, it reveals special dialog, so I believe that the full story has been changed throughout time and the original story is unknown.

I was wondering why the poison mythical that was named after the berry that cures poison 😅

[@bradleychan5684]

It's odd though...The way Pecharunt folds up into its "berry form" is... eerily similar to how the Alolan Tapu Guardians "fold up" into their "Totem forms". Was Pecharunt actually from the Alola Region or does this imply that the Alolan Tapu Guardians come from Pecharunt's home region?

[@Willow_Thefox-is8uj]

I watched it and almost cried. it made me love him so much more. hes now one of my favorite mons, im honestly siding with him now. justice for my peach

[@CloverJade]

Pecharunt is just an innocent child, not thinking about the consequences of its actions. And I love it.

[@victortavares5436]

Hey Ttar, Kieran's desire to be strong than us woke up Pecharunt from its hibernation at Peachy's store. It's clear now that was Peachy the one who found Pecharunt in the forest. The story was insane!

[@minixbeast1863]

If percharunt can bring out someones greed maybe it did somehow get to Kieran and was only able to bring out a small portion of his greed, wanting to be stronger to beat us

[@seronimo__7735]

Yup. And it probably made him stronger as well. No normal teenage angst turns someone from a shy kid to a mob boss-like champion.

[@XxSpectroBoixX]

I mean, it's by far faster than all of em and has a super effective hit for all of em and a high crit chance stab attack which may not be effective but still hits like a truck

[@LowEffortDoodles]

So, basically... Pecharunt was a pokemon trainer except instead of submitting their will to it b via pokeballs it would just catch them with Mochi.

[@jamesperrott1]

This just made me like ogerpon even more than I did lol, pecharunt too. But the loyal 3 are still just straight up bad

[@deceptionz_]

Anyone else think pecharunt has some of the 7 deadly sins. Gluttony, greed, lust for the effection of the old people, sloth for getting the loyal three to do its work, and possibly more.

[@MikaGinelle]

Honestly, maybe the multiple 8s in Pecharunt's stats are to make it look like chains. I love stories where no side is truly evil. While it was obviously bad of Pecharunt to use its mochi on the couple and his retainers, it seems like he genuinely didn't understand there was a problem with that. Like he just wanted help and love and didn't see why doing that was wrong in the beginning.

[@Minohorse]
