Generation IX was kicked off in 2022 with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and brought us to the Paldea region. Scarlet & Violet introduced a lot of really cool new mechanics. Paradox forms were introduced which are Pokémon that have travelled from the far future or the far past. Each game had a different set of Paradox Pokémon that players could battle and tame. It was also an open world game, allowing players to battle the gym leaders in any order (if they dare!). There were tons of extra sidequests to complete, battles to do, and Pokémon to catch.
It also introduced us to a brand new crop of legendary and mythical Pokémon! Not only that, one of those legendaries would accompany you throughout your journey where it acts as a boat, bike, and glorified pogo stick. All because you gave it a sandwich…

Treasures of Ruin
The Treasures of Ruin are a quartet of Pokémon that are said to bring about disaster wherever they are. They are also known as the Calamity Pokémon. The Calamities were originally ordinary objects that were corrupted by mankind’s negative emotions and deeds. Legend says that an ancient Paldean king purchased the items from a merchant, hoarding them in his castle. Of course, this caused the Pokémon to wake up from their object form and almost destroy the kingdom. They are sealed away in their respective shrines, until the player decides to wake them yet again in order to complete the Pokédex.
Wo-Chien | #1001
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Tablets of Ruin, sucks the lifeforce out of plants |
Grasswither Shrine |
Very high Special Defense (135), bad typing |
Lore
Wo-Chien, known as the Tablets of Ruin, was formed from a set of wooden tablets. These tablets had the evil deeds of an ancient king written on them, causing them to come alive and become Wo-Chien. It can suck the lifeforce out of nearby plants. Its force is so powerful that it can level forests and leave verdant fields completely dry.
Wo-Chien and the rest of the Treasures are based on the Four Perils of Chinese mythology. Specifically, it is based on Taowu, a monster that recorded the evil deeds of rulers and doled out punishments based on them.
Location
Wo-Chien is sealed away in the Grasswither Shrine in the South Province of Area One. In order to open the shrine, the player must find eight stakes hidden throughout the area.
Stats
Wo-Chien is a Dark/Grass type Pokémon which makes it weak to seven different types. The trade-off being that it is resistant to several common types and completely immune to Psychic. It has a decent set of stats with Special Defense being the highest at 135. It’s quite slow (Speed, 70) and has a pretty mediocre attack stat. If you happen to stumble on this early in your playthrough, it might be worth adding to the team.
Chien-Pao | #1002
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Sword of Ruin, can control ice and snow |
Icerend Shrine |
Very fast (135), high Attack (120) |
Lore
Chien-Pao, also known as the Sword of Ruin, was originally the broken sword that are now its tusks. It became sentient thanks to the hatred of the people who were killed by it through the millenia. It can control one hundred tons of snow. After causing avalanches, it can be found playing around the snow, oblivious to the mounds of death around it. So, typical cat behavior.
Chien-Pao is based on Qióngqí and Táowù, two of the Four Perils of Chinese Mythology. The former was a tiger-like creature while the latter had long tusks.
Location
Chien-Pao can be found at the Icerend Shrine in the West Province of Area One. It is sealed behind a door that can be opened after the player finds eight stakes hidden in the area.
Stats
Chien-Pao is a Dark/Ice type with an extremely high Speed stat (135). Its unique typing gives it quite a few weaknesses that aren’t great, especially with a quad weakness to Fighting type moves. However, it can strike back hard and fast thanks to the Speed and Attack (120) stats being so high. It learns a ton of Physical moves with lots of TM opportunities as well. Definitely a great addition to any team!
Ting-Lu | #1003
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Vessel of Ruin, controls earthquakes |
Groundblight Shrine |
High Defense and HP (155 and 125) but extremely slow |
Lore
Ting-Lu is called the Vessel of Ruin. The cup on its head was originally a ritual vessel that humans poured their fear into, giving it life. It can control earthquakes, creating fissures that can run over 160 feet down.
As for its connection to the Four Perils, Ting-Lu is based on both Tāotiè and Qióngqí. Tāotiè was the basis for the common beast face motif on bronze vessels. The connection there is pretty obvious. Qióngqí is usually depicted as some sort of deer or cow. So, considering it is a deer-like creature with a vessel on its head, those two Perils make the most sense.
Location
Ting-Lu can be found in the Groundblight Shrine in the North Province. The player must find eight stakes that are sealing the shrine before entering.
Stats
Ting-Lu is a Dark/Ground type, giving it complete immunity to both Psychic and Electric types. It’s also a defensive tank with high Defense and HP stats (155 and 125). That tankiness comes at the cost of Speed with a stat of 45. It does eventually learn both Fissure and Earthquake which are two incredibly powerful Ground type moves.
Chi-Yu | #1004
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Beads of Ruin, controls fire |
Firescourge Shrine |
Fast and powerful, but low HP |
Lore
Chi-Yu, the final Treasure of Ruin, is called the Beads of Ruin. It became sentient due to the envy of others who started wars over the beautiful beads that make up its eyes. Its body can burn to a devastating 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s half the temperature of the sun’s core. It can melt rock to create lava. Crazy.
Chi-Yu is based on Hùndùn, the Peril that is described as a creature with no face. Hùndùn is “scarlet as cinnabar fire” in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of the Chinese texts that feature the Four Perils.
Location
Chi-Yu is found in Firescourge Shrine, located in the Northern Province of Area Two. There are eight stakes hidden throughout the province that must be removed before the door can be opened.
Stats
Chi-Yu is just like a flash fire. It burns bright and goes out fast. As a Dark/Fire type, it has a host of resistances and very few weaknesses. Unfortunately, that excellent typing comes at the cost of an HP stat of 55. However, it is fast with a Speed of 100 and is a Special Attacker to the core (Special Attack is 135). It also has high Special Defense (120). Definitely worth adding to your team if you have the space.
Paradox Duo
The Paradox Duo are the version exclusive legendary that accompanies you around on your adventure. Throughout the adventure, the Pokémon gains new abilities through eating different kinds of sandwiches. Yes, this is true, this is how their complete forms are awakened.
Koraidon (Scarlet) and Miraidon (Violet) are the past and future Paradox forms of the modern day Pokémon, Cyclizar. Ten years before the events of the game, the professor of the region used a time machine in Area Zero to bring one of these creatures into the present day. It was a kind, docile Pokémon, so the professor tried again. However, the second one that was brought through was aggressive and killed the professor. This led to the player meeting the respective legendary in its weakened state on the side of the road. After offering it a sandwich, it joins the player on their quest.
Koraidon | #1007
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
The Winged King, an ancient form of Cyclizar |
Poco Path (Scarlet) |
Physical stats are higher than Special, very high Speed |
Lore
Koraidon is your companion if you are playing Pokémon Scarlet acting as a bike, boat, or glider throughout your adventure. It is a Paradox Pokémon that was brought from the distant past by Professor Sada with a time machine. It is a very distant relative to the modern Pokémon called Cyclizar. There isn’t a whole lot that is known about Koraidon outside of what is written in the Scarlet Book. Really, all that is in there about it is that it’s called the Winged King.
The player meets Koraidon at Poco Path where it is lying on the ground, almost dead. You decide to share your sandwich with it and it gains enough strength to begin walking in its “Limited Build." Throughout your adventure, you feed it different sandwiches infused with special plants and it gains new powers, allowing you to run, swim, and even fly. Once it is back to full strength, it is in its “Apex Build."
Location
It’s literally impossible to miss Koraidon in Scarlet as it is directly in your path at the start of the game.
Stats
Koraidon is a Fighting/Dragon type. This gives it a quad weakness to Fairy types, but a whole host of resistances. As a part Fighting type, it is more of a Physical Pokémon in regards to its stats. Its Attack and Speed stats are both 135 and Defense is 115. Its ability, Orichalcum Pulse, makes the battlefield experience harsh sunlight. The sunlight boosts Koraidon’s Attack stat, making it even stronger than before.
Unfortunately, you can’t use Koraidon on your team until the very end of the adventure.
Miraidon | #1008
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
The Iron Serpent, a future version of Cyclizar |
Poco Path (Violet) |
Special Attacker with high Speed |
Lore
Miraidon is your companion if you are playing Pokémon Violet. The lore surrounding Miraidon is the same, except it comes from the far future instead of the past. In the Violet Book, it is called the Iron Serpent.
When the player finds Miraidon at Poco Path, it is in Low-Power mode. By the end of the game, it gains its full power back and shifts into Ultimate Mode.
Location
Miraidon is found lying on the ground at Poco Path in Pokémon Violet. It’s impossible to miss.
Stats
Miraidon is an Electric/Dragon type Pokémon. Basically, outside of differences in type effectiveness, Miraidon is just the opposite of Koraidon. It has high Special stats (135 Special Attack and 115 Special Defense). Its ability, Hadron Engine, makes the battlefield electrified which boosts its Special Attack.
Much like Koraidon, it can’t be added to your team until much later in the game.
Loyal Three and Friends
The Loyal Three were once super weak Pokémon who became powerful after Pecharunt took them on as its retainers. Pecharunt’s caretaker commanded them to find several valuable masks that were owned by an ogre and his human friend. Once the Loyal Three found the masks, they attacked the ogre’s friend and stole all but one of them. The ogre returned home to find its den destroyed and his friend dying, clutching the Teal Mask.
Enraged, the ogre left in search of the Loyal Three. They fought the ogre and were subsequently killed. The villagers, however, thought the Loyal Three were protecting the masks from the ogre, resulting in the thieves being venerated as heroes every year during the Festival of Masks. Many years later, the player hunts down the Loyal Three in order to get the masks back for the ogre, also known as Ogerpon.
After researching these legendaries for this article, they are now my absolute favorite legendary group. The in-game and real life background stories, the designs, the names, everything about this group is incredible.
Okidogi | #1014
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Loyal Three member who was granted strength by Pecharunt |
Paradise Barrens (Teal Mask) |
Physical Attacker with interesting typing |
Lore
Okidogi is part of the Loyal Three. In the Loyal Three myth, Okidogi used to be a small little weak Pokémon before it was granted strength from Pecharunt’s chains. It uses its chains to attack. It was slain by Ogerpon after stealing her masks.
Okidogi’s name is a pun on the phrase “Okey Dokey." All the Loyal Three have names that are puns on positive phrases like that, belying their sinister nature.
Location
Okidogi can be found in the Paradise Barrens after finishing the Teal Mask DLC.
Stats
Okidogi is a Poison/Fighting type, giving it a quad weakness to Psychic. Its stats are mostly Physical, with high Attack and Defense (128 and 115). However, the rest of its stats are pretty middle of the road. Its moveset is pretty much all Physical, so the really low Special Attack stat (58) isn’t much of an issue.
Add it to your team because it's cute.
Munkidori | #1015
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Loyal Three member who was granted intelligence by Pecharunt |
Wistful Fields (Teal Mask) |
Special Attacker with good Speed and great typing |
Lore
Munkidori was originally a dumb, clumsy monkey. However, after being bound by Pecharunt’s chains, it gained incredible intelligence. Its psychic powers were so good that it was said to be able to see the future. Munkidori is a confirmed Observation Haki user. It met its end after stealing Ogerpon’s masks.
Munkidori is a pun on the phrase “Hunky-dory."
Location
Munkidori can be found in the Wistful Fields after finishing the Teal Mask DLC.
Stats
Munkidori is a Poison/Psychic type with an incredible 130 Special Attack. Its type effectiveness is pretty good, with few weaknesses and four resistances. It has a great Speed stat (106). Overall, a decent pick for your team.
Fezandipiti | #1016
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Loyal Three member who was granted strength by Pecharunt |
Oni Mountain (Teal Mask) |
Very balanced Special Defender |
Lore
Fezandipiti was an ugly bird that no one wanted to look at. Pecharunt, hearing its plea for beauty, used its chains to turn it into a beautiful creature that has a lovely voice. It spreads pheromones throughout the land, enchanting both people and Pokémon. It was also killed by Ogerpon.
Fezandipiti is a pun on the word “Serendipity."
Location
Fezandipidi can be found on the Oni Mountain after finishing the Teal Mask DLC.
Stats
Fezandipiti is a Poison/Fairy type, which is a combination you don’t see very often. It has high Special Defense (125), but the rest of the stats are pretty balanced. It’s a good all around attacker with a great type effectiveness spread. This would be a great addition to any team.
Ogerpon | #1017
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
The Ogre of myth that defeated the Loyal Three |
Dreaded Den (Teal Mask) |
High Speed and Attack, multiple types depending on mask |
Lore
Look, Ogerpon is just a curious little lady. Sure, she’s a bit mischievous, but aren’t we all? She did not deserve to have her masks stolen like that! Now, killing the Loyal Three was a bit of a big reaction to that, I have to admit. Nowadays, Ogerpon likes to sneak into a nearby village during the Mask Festival to steal little treats. What a cutie!
Like all of the Pokémon associated with the Loyal Three, it is based on the story of Momotaro except it is the hero while Pecharunt (Momotaro) is the villain. Each of Ogerpon’s masks is based on a different kind of mask used in Shinto and Buddhist rituals. They represent the four moods from the Confucian Book of Rites as well. Overall, Ogerpon’s aesthetic is inspired heavily by Japanese festivals, especially those that use masks.
Location
Ogerpon can be found in the Dreaded Den area during the Teal Mask DLC campaign.
Stats
Ogerpon has four different forms and the typing changes depending on her mask. All the forms have a Grass typing with Teal Mask being pure Grass, Wellspring having a Water type added, Hearthflame with Fire, and Rock type when wearing the Cornerstone Mask. The type change gives it different type effectivenesses as well. The stats stay the same. It has a blistering Speed stat (110) and an even higher Attack (120). If you’re looking for a good Grass type, it would be hard to find one better than Ogerpon.
Pecharunt | #1025
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
Commanded the Loyal Three to steal Ogerpon’s masks |
Loyalty Plaza (Indigo Disk) |
Very high Defense (160) with a decent ability |
Lore
Pecharunt is the only Mythical Pokémon in the Paldean region. Many eons ago, Pecharunt used its toxic chains to take control of the Loyal Three and forced them to steal Ogerpon’s masks. It fell into a deep slumber after the Loyal Three were killed by Ogerpon. During the Mochi Mayhem storyline in the Indigo Disk DLC, Pecharunt uses its Binding Mochi to try and take control of the people around Mossui Town. In the final battle with Pecharunt, there are some special scenes if you use Ogerpon or any of the Loyal Three against it in battle.
Pecharunt is most likely based on the story of Momotaro. Momotaro was a boy born from the inside of a peach, who went on a quest with a dog, monkey, and pheasant to battle some oni. Of course, Momotaro was the hero, while Pecharunt was not. Pecharunt also resembles a Pecha berry, the Pokémon berry that is analogous to a real life peach. If all that isn’t enough of a connection to Momotaro, Pecharunt’s Japanese name is Momowarou, a portmanteau between the Japanese words for “peach” and “bad."
Location
Pecharunt can be caught at Loyalty Plaza after completing the Mochi Mayhem storyline from the Indigo Disk DLC.
Stats
Pecharunt is a Poison/Ghost type, meaning it is immune to Normal and Fighting type moves and has several good resistances. Unfortunately, like most mythical Pokémon, its stats are not very good. It has an 88 base stat in everything except Defense, which is 160. The main use for Pecharunt is for poisoning your opponent. Thanks to its ability, Poison Puppeteer, it will also make the opponent confused. That’s a lot of extra damage!
Terapagos | #1024
|
Lore |
Location |
Stats |
|
The origin of the Terastal Phenomenon |
Area Zero Underdepths (Indigo Disk) |
Not impressive, but TERA SHELL |
Lore
Terapagos is the cause of the Terastal phenomenon that is unique to the Paldean region. It was thought to be extinct for over two million years, but one survived thanks to its ability to harden its body into crystals.
In the DLC, the player’s rival, Kieran, catches it in a Master Ball. In an attempt to Terastalize it, Terapagos breaks free from the ball. Terapagos’ power overflows, sapping the Terestal energy from any of the Pokémon around it. After battling it, the player is allowed to catch it.
Location
Terapagos can be found in the Area Zero Underdepths in the Indigo Disk portion of the DLC.
Stats
Terapagos has three forms, all with different stats. The normal form has pretty average stats with a low speed (it IS a turtle, after all) and higher Defensive stats. The Terastal form boosts every stat by at least 10 and the Stellar form increases its HP and Special Attack stats. That’s all fine and good, but the real great part about Terapagos is that, when in Terastal form, it has the ability Tera Shell. This unique ability makes it so that when Terapagos is attacked, any move will be considered “Not very effective.” It essentially has a resistance to everything. It’s an absolutely incredible ability.
