Pecharunt has the stats to dominate any format it's allowed in. 160 base Defense stands out, and the rest of the spread doesn't have obvious weak points either. Part of the Gen 9 roster. Known as the Subjugation Pokemon.
Pecharunt's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Physical bulk with Defense doing the heavy lifting. And the slow 1.25M XP grind means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 3 Defense EVs.
Pecharunt Weakness
GoodGround, Psychic, Ghost, and Dark-type moves hit Pecharunt for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. The Poison/Ghost typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Pecharunt's physical bulk (base 160 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
Mythical Pokemon don't breed, and Pecharunt is no exception. This Poison/Ghost type sits at 600 stats with no chain to speak of.
How to Evolve
Pecharunt's built to absorb hits. Bold nature leans into physical wall duty, Heavy-Duty Boots gives it hazard immunity on every switch-in, and Recover handles sustain. Poisonpuppeteer and max HP and Defense EVs tie the defensive profile together.

The level-up pool tells the story here. Pecharunt learns Malignant Chain and Foul Play naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Dark and Normal coverage extends the reach beyond that.

This is an event-exclusive or special distribution.
At 600 BST, Pecharunt is built different. We rank it A-Tier. As a Mythical Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a balanced.
Watch for Landorus (Ground), Alakazam (Psychic), and Misdreavus (Ghost) when using Pecharunt. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dark-type attackers are also a problem. Pecharunt has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Pecharunt doesn't evolve. As a Mythical Pokemon, it stands on its own without an evolutionary line. It's a Poison/Ghost type with 600 BST.
Poison Puppeteer pokémon poisoned by Pecharunt's moves will also become confused — that's the one you want on Pecharunt. It's the only ability Pecharunt has.
Pecharunt is leaning toward the physical side (base 88 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 88 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many.
Pecharunt can be found in Scarlet & Violet.
