Best Builds For Pecharunt in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
If you’ve played the epilogue for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, among all the farewells for the game was a brand new Pokemon: Pecharunt.
This little Pecha Berry Pokemon may not seem like a potential powerhouse for competitive battle, but Pecharunt is a contender for some wins between stats and its unique ability. If you’ve never run a competitive Pokemon before, we have a Pecharunt best builds guide below to help you get started with this rare DLC Pokemon.
Competitive Pecharunt Movesets
Looking at Pecharunt’s stats, we can see that it prioritizes Defense above all else. We usually need to look at the base stats first to determine where we go with the moveset. Another way to investigate what moveset may be best is by looking at a Pokemon’s default moves. While this may not work for random wild Pokemon out there, Pokemon you catch when they’re already strong often have moves beneficial to their stat spread.
When we first find Pecharunt, the moveset is as follows:
Given the fact that the only attacking moves that Pecharunt has are Special instead of Physical attacks at Level 88 when you catch it, it’s safe to say between stat balance and moveset that Pecharunt is meant to be a Special Attacker. Looking at the possible move pool that Pecharunt has through remembering moves, you can also see that it has more Special category moves than Physical.

This makes moves like Toxic and Malignant Chain (which has 50% chance to poison) very necessary. Pecharunt has a splendid moveset right off the bat at level 88, but if we optimize the moveset based on Pecharun’s Poison Puppeteer Ability, a better one would look like this:
While this build relies on poison, the instant the target is poisoned they will also get confused thanks to Poison Puppeteer.
