Main series
Cabo Poco is the hometown of Liko, her father Alex, and her mother Lucca. It first appeared in Welcome to Paldea!, where Liko returned home after visiting Mesagoza, accompanied by Roy and Friede. After getting her father's permission to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers, Liko left home once more.
In HZ046, Liko was shown to have returned home once more following her, Roy, and Dot's decision to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon. Lucca later escorted her to Los Platos, from where Liko continued on her own to Mesagoza so she could start attending Naranja Academy.
Biri-Biri
The battle court on the private beach behind Nemona's house appeared in the music video for Biri-Biri, where a battle was held between Anna's Fuecoco and Nemona's Sprigatito
Pokémon: Paldean Winds
Cabo Poco briefly appeared at the beginning of Breathe Together.
In the TCG
- Main article: Beach Court (Scarlet & Violet 167)
The battle court on the private beach behind Nemona's house is featured in the TCG as Beach Court, which was introduced as a Stadium card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Scarlet ex set before debuting in English in the Scarlet & Violet expansion, with artwork by Oswaldo KATO. A gold-etched hyper rare print with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the Paradox Rift expansion. It reduces the retreat cost of all Basic Pokémon in play by 1.

Trivia
- In Nemona's house in Cabo Poco, there is a painting that appears to reference Ash-Greninja, even though Ash-Greninja is not present in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet due to a change in the way its Battle Bond Ability works.
- In addition, the front of the house has stained glass around the door that resembles a Tropius.
- Even though Cabo Poco is considered a town in the game, it is actually more of a hamlet due to it consisting of only two houses.
