From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Loyal Three[1][2] (Japanese: ともっこさま Dear Companions),[3] also described as the Heroes of Kitakami[4] (Japanese: キタカミの里の英雄たち Heroes of the land of Kitakami),[5] are a trio of Pokémon consisting of Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. They reside in the land of Kitakami, being considered heroes by its people.
The three members share a primary type, Poison, as well as the Ability, Toxic Chain.
After their true, greedy nature is revealed, they are commonly described instead as The Lousy Three or The "Loyal" Three.
History
Long ago, the Loyal Three lived in a distant land, until they heard of rumors about exquisite, shining masks, the greedy Pokémon soon made their way to the land of Kitakami to steal the four masks for themselves, wich belonged to a Man and an Ogre who came from a foreign land. The trio sneaked into the cave the man and the ogre lived in to try and steal the masks while the ogre was away. The Loyal Three managed to steal three of the masks while the man managed to hold onto one of them.
Several hours later, the ogre returned to the cave and found it's home in ruin, all being left were the signs of struggle and one of it's beloved masks, it then donned the mask and went down to the village in search for it's friend, it found the Loyal Three gloating over it's stolen stolen masks and beat the trio in anger, the villagers, anaware of the true story, assumed the Loyal Three had died protecting their village from the ogre. To honor the three's "sacrifice", the villagers named them, the Loyal Three and interred them with care while the wounded ogre returned to it's cave alone and with great sadness.

Trivia
- Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
- The name of the trio's members all seem to reference different expressions that are associated with happiness: Okidogi being taken from "okie-dokie", Munkidori being taken from "hunky-dory", and Fezandipiti being taken from "serendipity".
