Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni. | Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches. | Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit.

Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. The Ghost type could also reference the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers. | ||
