• Pecharunt has the highest base Defense stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.

Origin

Pecharunt, together with 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). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself. Its outer shell covering resembles a bisected peach or Pecha Berry, referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach.

Name origin

Pecharunt may be a combination of peach, Pecha Berry, and runt.

Momowarō may be a combination of 桃太郎 Momotarō and 悪し waroshi (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い warui).
