Where to find and catch Pecharunt in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Epilogue
Pecharunt is the latest, and possibly final, Pokemon added to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. The Paldean mythical is the reward for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue, and players must complete a short story campaign to earn it.
1. Start the Epilogue
To grab Pecharunt in the game, you must trigger the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue. To start this event, follow these steps:
- In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet open the menu and connect to the internet.
- In the menu, click Poke Portal.
- From there, click Mystery Gift, and then ‘Receive via Internet’.
- Click on the ‘Mythical Pecha Berry’ gift to receive it.
- Once you have the Mythical Pecha Berry in your inventory as a Key Item, fly to Mossui in Kitikami.
- Approach Peachy’s, the vendor selling mochi next to the Mossui Community Center, and head towards the small pink decoration.
- Click to interact with it and a small cut scene will play.
2. Head to Mesagoza South Gate
After interacting with the object at Peachy’s, the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue begins and is fairly straightforward, so begin by following these steps:
- After Speaking to Arven on the phone, head to the player’s house at Cabo Poco in Paldea
- Once you meet your friends here, head to the Mesagoza South Gate to start another cut scene
- The game moves you to Kitikami with your friends, then head to Carmine and Kieran’s house
- Interact with Kieran to begin the next part of the story
- After Nimona challenges Kieran, head back to the Mossui Community Center
- Interact with Kieran to start the next part of the story
- Once this cut scene has finished, including Carmine saying “Mochi Mochi”, head back to the Mossui Community Center and enter the building to start the next scene
A short scene plays out within the Mossui Community Center, and from there, players must find a TV remote to move forward. To find the TV remote, move to the rightmost portion of the Community Center, and interact with the sparkling icon in the plant pot.
3. Battle various Trainers
After finding the TV remote a scene plays, and the quest “Go Find Nemona” appears. Head outside to search for her, and then approach villagers to ask for clues. This will begin a double battle with Kieran as your partner, so be sure to have a strong team ready.

- Ariados (Lv. 79)

Following a quick phone call with Arven, your next task is to head back to Peachy’s, the vendor in Mossui. Talk to Arven and Penny outside Peachy’s to start the next scene, triggering a battle.
Arven has the following Pokemon:
- Greedent (Lv. 82)
- Mabosstiff (Lv. 83)
- Cloyster (Lv. 82)
Penny has the following Pokemon:
- Umbreon (Lv. 84)
- Sylveon (Lv. 85)
- Leafeon (Lv. 84)
After defeating Arven and Penny, Pecharunt escapes, and the game tasks you with following it. Head to the West, and arrive at Loyalty Plaza to continue the story. From here, a single battle with Nemona begins:
Nemona has the following Pokemon:
- Lycanroc – Midday Form (Lv. 86)
- Pawmot (Lv. 86)
- Goodra (Lv. 86)
- Milotic (Lv. 86)
- Kommo-0 (Lv. 86)
- Meowscarada (Lv. 86)
Upon defeating Nemona, approach Pecharunt at Loyalty Plaza to begin the final scene, a battle against Pecharunt at Lv. 88, with the ability Poison Puppeteer.
This ability means Pokemon poisoned by Pecharunt’s moves will also become confused. Good luck! Defeat it, and then choose a ball to catch it in.
