History

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

He is first seen talking to Ursaring and Raticate in the Serene Village plaza while the partner is giving the player a tour of the town. After several Pokémon accuse the partner of causing trouble, Carracosta scolds them for avoiding their chores and eating his Oran Berries before giving chase when the partner runs away to avoid the angry villagers.

Carracosta is next seen talking with Hippopotas and Lombre, stating that it is now honey-making season in Nectar Meadow. When Budew asks about the honey, Carracosta explains that Beedrill and Combee come together to make the highly nutritional substance, however, it is best to avoid the meadow during this time of year as they are on edge when making it.

Later, while the player and partner are looking for Ampharos, they run into Carracosta and ask if he has seen him. After thinking for a bit, he states that he saw Ampharos on his way back from the Oran Orchard, and that he was heading towards Poliwrath River. He forbids the player and partner from going to the river as it is the home of the Poliwrath Brothers and is thus a dangerous place. When the partner agrees not to go, he is skeptical and reiterates that he does not want them to go to or even talk about such a place.

During dinner with the partner and player, he scolds the partner for their lack of decorum while eating, but blushes when they praise his cooking. He asks the player if they like the food, telling them to eat their fill when they nod yes.

After Farfetch’d is found by the shore of the lake, Carracosta can be seen amongst the Pokémon gathered around him, expressing pity when Farfetch’d recalls what happened to him. In response to Raticate asking if ghosts are the reason behind what happened to Farfetch’d, he states that he is not afraid of them, referring to them as fairy tales. When Carracosta finds out that the player and partner snuck out of their homes in the middle of the night, unaware that they went to rescue Pancham and Shelmet in the Ancient Barrow, he scolds them both and becomes upset with Nuzleaf when he claims that Carracosta is being too harsh. He accuses Nuzleaf of being lenient and says that children should be scolded when they are disobedient. He states that Nuzleaf should scold them, however the partner interrupts, saying that they’re tired and promptly falls asleep, resulting in Carracosta lecturing the player alone for the entire night. When the player leaves their house the next morning, they can hear Carracosta criticizing the partner’s cleaning, which they are forced to do as punishment, claiming that they did an unacceptable job.

As the player and partner are returning home from an expedition, they encounter Carracosta once more, who says that he is about to make dinner. He invites the partner to come help him, who promptly agrees. Before they can leave, however, the partner asks about Revelation Mountain. Carracosta states that the mountain is sacred to the village and that entering it has been taboo for generations, however, when asked why entering is forbidden, he responds that he doesn’t know nor does he know what is in it. The only thing he does know is that guarding Revelation Mountain is a tradition in the village, passed down from parent to child. Suddenly, he grows fearful that the partner is planning to go up the mountain but is reassured when they claim they were just curious after hearing about how mysterious it was from Nuzleaf.

When the partner and player decide to ask their adoptive parents if they can join the Expedition Society, the player overhears the partner arguing with Carracosta, who states that they cannot join because it is too dangerous.

Carracosta is seen again when the player and partner return to Serene Village after defeating Dark Matter, explaining that Nuzleaf returned to the village and apologized for what he had done, but left as he was unable to face the player after what he did to them, though he said he will return to the village eventually. He then states that, with time, things can heal and asks the player if they can wait for Nuzleaf. As the player is thinking about Nuzleaf, the partner runs up to Carracosta, telling him that they are glad he is okay. Carracosta responds by telling them that he has never told them that he is proud of them, and apologizes for not being a better parent beforing thanking them. Later that night, he listens to the partner recount their adventure at a party along with the player and several townsfolk. The next morning, Carracosta tells the player that the partner went to the hill with the big tree.

Personality and Characteristics

Carracosta is a stern father who believes in a strict method of raising children, more specifically that scolding them will make them behave, in contrast to Nuzleaf’s more relaxed treatment of the player. However, his intentions are well meaning, and he genuinely cares about the partner and player.

Quotes

• When accusing the partner of causing trouble:

"Stop right there! <partner>!"

"This where you’ve been loitering, child?"

"What about your chores back home, eh? Playing hooky again to wander around, eh?"

"And I know you’ve been snacking on the Oran Berries from my field again!"

"You have!"

"I want the truth from you, child!"

"Don’t you dare run! We’ll catch you!"

• Talking about honey-making season:

"So? How did it look?"

"Budew. Roselia’s little one. Honey-making season has begun, child. Many Pokémon like Beedrill and Combee all get together to make heaps o’ honey."

"It’s a nutritional powerhouse, to boot. However, they’re on edge while making Honey. Stay safe and clear till they’re all done. Especially a wee child like yourself. It’s best to give Nectar Meadow a wide berth at this time of year."
