The Asado Desert (Japanese: ロースト砂漠Roast Desert) is a large desert in the Paldea region, stretching a portion of the region's West Province. It contains the city of Cascarrafa.
After acquiring a Moltres Treat from Snacksworth, Moltres will spawn in this area as a static encounter. If defeated, it can be battled again after the game has been rebooted, provided that over one hour has passed in Nintendo Switch's internal clock since its defeat. It is coded to never be Shiny.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here. Probability weight indicates the likelihood that a Pokémon will spawn at a certain point in this location relative to others that can spawn there. A higher probability weight generally indicates that a Pokémon is more likely to spawn. Pokémon with the highest or lowest level requirements may not spawn in every possible location within this area. A bolded level range replaces the Pokémon's non-bolded level range after the player has completed The Way Home.

There are few valid "Rocky Area" and "Flower" biome spawn point in this area, which can make it more difficult to find specific Pokémon that only spawn from that point.
Asado Desert appeared in PASV02 and PASV03 as the first stop on Violet and Arven's quest to find the Herba Mystica. In the desert, they encountered two Paradox Pokémon, a Great Tusk and an Iron Treads, the latter which they identified as the Quaking Earth Titan due to its size. Despite having some initial success against it with Violet's Fuecoco, Iron Treads ultimately proved too strong, so Arven suggested they retreat for the time being, which Violet accepted.
