Pecharunt nicknames

Pecharunt was introduced in Generation 9 with a Poison/Ghost typing and as the trio master of the Loyal Three and its association with Ogerpon, there’s plenty of inspiration for nicknames.

Let’s look at some info on Pecharunt and suggested nicknames.

Note: You can’t nickname your Pecharunt “Dokutaro”, which was its codename. Not sure why this is but keep that in mind!

Origins

Pecharunt is a small purple Pokémon that looks like a piece of mochi. In its shell, it has two ear-like protusions on the top and a small point at the bottom. There is a small black circle in the middle of its face with two white crescent-shaped markings, which look like eyes. When opened, we see the Pokémon inside which looks more like a dark purple radish. It has a long “ponytail” with a pink coloured end, a white band-like mark across its forehead, two blobs for eyebrows, white eyes and a bowtie-shaped mouth. And two little pink hands. You can also see the inside of the shell segments which are light pink.

According to Bulbapedia, Pecharunt created the Loyal Three (Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti) and transformed them using its toxic mochi. The toxic chains are a physical representation of their forced bond. Because of all this, it has a rivalry with Ogerpon as described in the main story of the The Teal Mask DLC.

Name-wise, Pecharunt sounds like a combination of the Pecha Berry (itself based on a peach) and the word “runt”. It’s Japanese name also references Momotarō, a Japanese folklore hero known as “Peach Boy”.
