The Asado Desert (Japanese: ロースト砂漠Roast Desert) is a large desert in the Paldea region, stretching a portion of the region's West Province. It contains the city of Cascarrafa.
The Asado Desert connects to West Province (Area Two) on the west and Cascarrafa on the east. The desert is very large and there will often be a sandstorm occuring. Like many other locations in Paldea, Asado Desert has a watchtower that serves as a fly point, however unlike other watchtowers, this one is mostly buried underneath the sand. There are several large rock formations throughout the desert that can be climbed once the player has unlocked the ability to climb walls on their Koraidon or Miraidon.
After acquiring a Moltres Treat from Snacksworth, Moltres will spawn in this area as a static encounter. If defeated, it can be battled again after the game has been rebooted, provided that over one hour has passed in Nintendo Switch's internal clock since its defeat. It is coded to never be Shiny.

In PASV13, Violet and Arven passed through Asado Desert again, though the Quaking Earth Titan was nowhere in sight. Cassiopeia contacted them and informed Violet that Team Star's Schedar Squad was planning on increasing their security following Violet's victory over Giacomo and suggested he'd head to their base to deal with them before the new security could arrive. While Violet agreed, Arven was more eager to find the Quaking Earth Titan and its Herba Mystica in order to heal his Mabosstiff more. As such, Violet chose to leave Arven behind in the desert, telling him to contact him if he found the Titan. Worried that Violet would have less allies now to take on Team Star, Arven contacted Clavell for help. In the next chapter, Arven was surprised to see Miraidon returning with Scarlet instead of Violet, as she had forcibly borrowed it from him for her own purposes. Since it didn't obey her, however, and she needed Miraidon at its full power, she decided to help Arven in finding more Herba Mystica. As the Quaking Earth Titan wasn't showing up, they instead followed Cassiopeia's intel and headed to fight the Lurking Steel Titan in East Province (Area Three).
In PASV24, Violet and Arven returned to the Asado Desert after learning that the Quaking Earth Titan had reappeared. Spotting both Iron Treads and Great Tusk, they decided to defeat the Great Tusk first by executing a pincer attack from two different directions to keep its attention split between the two of them. While this plan initially seemed successful, Violet was suddenly sent flying by a surprise attack from Iron Treads, sending him falling into Colonnade Hollow. Meanwhile, Arven witnessed Iron Treads feeding some Herba Mystica to Great Tusk, causing him to realize that Great Tusk was now also a Titan, the two Paradox Pokémon having teamed up to protect the Herba Mystica. In PASV25, while Arven was hiding from the Titans in a watchtower, Violet was rescued by Kofu and Saguaro, and the three of them joined Arven just as the Titans found him. Thanks to the four's teamwork, they were able to defeat both of the Titans, after which they tracked down the Sour Herba Mystica the Titans had been guarding. Using it, Arven made for some sandwiches for them, restoring Miraidon's ability to glide.
The desert may also draw inspiration from the Tabernas Desert in Spain, known as the only desert in Europe and the backdrop for many Spaghetti Western films.
