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 the [[Loyal Three]]. 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 its will as seen with its caretakers, who had their greed drawn out, but 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 [[Paldea]]n [[friend]]s. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is by catching either it or those tied to it; the latter is implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it, as they no longer appear to be chained to its will. | 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.

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 or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles, managing to control multiple humans 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 left with 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. | [[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|left|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi<!--Please do not edit the size of this image, as it will stop the animation from playing.-->]] | ||

According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was adopted by an elderly couple with no children. Pecharunt fed its adoptive parents Binding Mochi to secure their affection, which brought out their inner greed. They made many requests of Pecharunt, who gave them what they requested to be showered with further attention. The couple eventually asked for four shining masks, which could only be found in Kitakami. Pecharunt left to obtain the mask, recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti to aid in its quest. They successfully stole three masks from {{ga|Ogerpon}}, who defeated the Loyal Three in retaliation; Pecharunt only survived by going dormant within its shell. It would not surface found again until hundreds of years later when a [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] awoke it. | According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was adopted by an elderly couple with no children.
