Pokémon fans can grab a never before seen ‘mon in a huge free upgrade

POKÉMON Scarlet & Violet received a huge upgrade with The Indigo Disk DLC, but the story was left unfinished.

That’s because a free epilogue was planned that ties up the story and brings players a never before seen Pokémon.

Coming out a month after The Indigo Disk launched, not only will it expand on the story, but it will also add additional boss fights for the Blueberry Academy post-game.

What is Pecharunt?

Pecharunt is a new mythical Pokémon that will be first appearing in the epilogue for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.

It has the Ghost/Poison typing and comes with the signature ability, Poison Puppeteer.

This ability is unique to Pecharunt, and will confuse any Pokémon that Pecharunt poisons.

It is a great fit for Pecharunt as it has a lot of moves that inflict poison, and even a special move dedicated to it.

Malignant Chain is Pecharunt’s signature move. It has 100 base power and a 50% chance to poison.

However, if you want to ensure the poison/confusion combo, you can use a “certain-to-poison” move like Toxic instead.
