Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circular face at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. In its face are two white semicircle eyes, appearing to be frowning. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes which are usually frowning, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, ending in a slightly larger segment with two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell. | Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}.

Pecharunt stores poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses it to create {{a|Toxic Chain|toxic chains}} and roll up poisonous [[mochi|Binding Mochi]], which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It is able to use {{m|Malignant Chain|its toxic chains in combat}}, {{status|Poison|badly poison}}ing its enemies in the process. The chains are also capable of empowering other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with | Pecharunt stores poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses it to create {{a|Toxic Chain|toxic chains}} and roll up poisonous [[mochi|Binding Mochi]], which are stored in its shell until they are needed.

The chains are also capable of empowering other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}, respectively. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may also shoot them at their mouths if necessary. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. The mochi draw out their deepest desires and powers, but the ones who eat it become chained to Pecharunt's will, as seen with its caretakers, who had their greed drawn out. In some cases, the ones that eat it may completely fall under its control, as seen with [[Mossui Town]]'s residents and the player's [[friend]]s from [[Paldea]]. | ||

Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases, like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires — [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "Veevee", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match". It can even command humans, and Pokémon to fight for it in battles, capable of controlling multiple creatures at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its cowardly personality and size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if it is has no other option. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. The effect of Pecharunt's mochi on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse. | Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura.

*Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}. | [[File:Unknown figure Kitakami.png|thumb|200px|A depiction of Pecharunt in {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s story]] | ||

*Pecharunt, like the [[Loyal Three]], seems to share a thematic tie to the number {{wp|8|eight}}. This may be because the character ''8'' looks like a set of chains, reflecting its [[signature move]], {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It may also be because eight is considered a lucky number in many Asian cultures, including Japanese, which aligns with the trio's naming convention and role. Additionally, 88 can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for やばい ''yabai'', which can mean "terrible" or "dangerous", referencing its true malevolent nature. It can also be read as goroawase for ぱちぱち ''pachipachi'', the sound of clapping, referencing the outer shell it hides in closing around its body. | * Pecharunt, like the [[Loyal Three]], seems to share a thematic tie to the number {{wp|8|eight}}.
