* The Loyal Three, {{p|Pecharunt}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}} appear to reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', albeit with the roles of the heroes and the villains reversed. The tale of ''Momotarō'' relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). | * The Loyal Three, {{p|Pecharunt}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}} appear to reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', albeit with the roles of the heroes and the villains reversed.

Okidogi is the brawn (part Fighting type, “…Okidogi transformed and gained a powerful phisique”), Munkidori is the brains (part Psychic type, “It stimulated Munkidori’s brain…”), Fezandipiti is the beauty (part Fairy type, “Fezandipiti owes its beautiful looks…”). | ||
* The Loyal Three appear to share a thematic tie to the number eight. This may be because the character ''8'' looks like a set of chains. 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. | * The Loyal Three appear to share a thematic tie to the number eight.

** Pecharunt, viewed by fans as the leader of the Loyal Three, is damaged normally by 8 types, receives double damage from 4 types (2 * 4 = 8), is immune to 2 types (0 * 2 = 00, appearing like a sideways 8), and a total type damage resistance of 8⁻² (¼ * ¼ * ½ * ½ = 1/64 = 1/8²). | ** Pecharunt, viewed by fans as the leader of the Loyal Three, is damaged normally by 8 types, receives double damage from 4 types (2 * 4 = 8), is immune to 2 types (0 * 2 = 00, appearing like a sideways 8), and has a total type damage resistance of 8⁻² (¼ * ¼ * ½ * ½ = 1/64 = 1/8²). | ||
* During the scene showcasing Ogerpon's true story as told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]], when the Loyal Three are about to steal Ogerpon's masks, Pecharunt can be barely seen right above Okidogi. What appears to be a Pecharunt decoration can be also 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 Ogerpon. | * During the scene showcasing Ogerpon's true story as told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]], when the Loyal Three are about to steal Ogerpon's masks, Pecharunt can be barely seen right above Okidogi.

* During the start of the battles against [[Titan Pokémon|Titanic]] {{p|Okidogi}}, Titanic {{p|Munkidori}}, Titanic {{p|Fezandipiti}} and {{p|Pecharunt}}, a psychedelic effect briefly appears on the screen. This effect appears to be caused by Pecharunt's toxic powers, as each of the Loyal Three members possess a Toxic Chain wrapped around their body and Pecharunt is the source of that power. | * During the start of the battles against [[Titan Pokémon|Titanic]] {{p|Okidogi}}, Titanic {{p|Munkidori}}, Titanic {{p|Fezandipiti}} and {{p|Pecharunt}}, a psychedelic effect briefly appears on the screen.
