Pokemon DLC Epilogue Story Walkthrough

Defeat Pecharunt and Catch It

The Pecharunt encounter is a Tera Raid-style battle. However, it will not Terastallize or put up shields, unlike Ogerpon and Terapagos, making it possible to one-shot during the battle with a strong attacker.

Once you defeat Pecharunt, you will be able to catch it, and you can choose any Poke Ball to catch Pecharunt as it will be a guaranteed capture.

Best Poke Ball for Pecharunt

Dream Ball and Master Ball

Poke Ball	Reason
Dream Ball	Shares the same color scheme as Pecharunt, and has some significance with Pecharunt lulling people.
Master Ball	Also shares the same color scheme and fits Pecharunt being identified as a Mythical Pokemon.

Both the Dream Ball and the Master Ball share the same color scheme as Pecharunt. If you don't want to use a Master Ball, you can opt for a Dream Ball instead.

You can potentially get both of these Poke Balls in the Item Printer if you manage to get a Poke Ball Lotto.

Is Pecharunt Shiny Locked?

Yes, Pecharunt is Shiny Locked

Like with other static Legendary Pokemon encounters in The Indigo Disk DLC, Pecharunt is Shiny locked and cannot be caught in its Shiny appearance. This means that you will not be able to catch a Shiny Pecharunt no matter how many times you reset before the encounter.

Pecharunt's signature move Malignant Chain has a chance to badly poison a target, on top of it being a powerful special move.

This synergizes well with Pecharunt's signature Ability Poison Puppeteer, which causes confusion if Pecharunt manages to poison a target with one of its moves.

Malignant Chain Effect and Pokemon That Learn It

Poison Puppeteer

Pecharunt's signature Ability Poison Puppeteer will cause confusion on a target if it is poisoned by one of its moves. This means that if you manage to inflict poison on Pecharunt's target, you will also inflict confusion as an additional effect.

You can take advantage of this Ability with Pecharunt's signature move Malignant Chain, which not only deals damage but also has the chance to badly poison a target.

If you can inflict poison, you'll also make the target confused. You can then, possibly, cause a significant amount of damage to the target from being poisoned and hitting itself due its confusion!
