Crocalor is a larger, crocodile-like Pokémon that evolves from Fuecoco. It wears a burning nest with a large egg on its head, resembling a sombrero. Skeledirge is a crocodile-like Pokémon that evolves from Crocalor. Its appearance seems to draw influence from the holiday known as the Day of the Dead, and its name comes from the words "skeleton" and "dirge". The egg that it had as a Crocalor has now hatched into a small bird made of fire, which rests on its nose and morphs into a stand microphone when Skeledirge uses its signature move "Torch Song".{{Cite web |last=Fama |first=Daphne |date=2022-11-21 |title=All Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet Inspired by Spanish Culture, Food, and More |url=https://primagames.com/featured/all-pokemon-in-scarlet-violet-inspired-by-spanish-culture-food-and-more |access-date=2024-06-30 |website=Prima Games |language=en-US}}

In the region of Kitakami, the three are worshipped as "defenders" and dubbed the "Loyal Three" which protected them from the "ogre" Ogerpon. It is later revealed via a plot twist that the three were the attackers, and not Ogerpon.

| Ogerpon is a mask-wearing Legendary Pokémon that debuted in "The Teal Mask" DLC in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It appears to be based on the oni in the legend of Momotarō. Ogerpon has multiple masks, which were made for it and its human friend by a kind mask maker in the distant past in order to disguise their appearances from the hostile people of Kitakami. The Loyal Three and Pecharunt sought to obtain the masks, but after they accidentally killed Ogerpon's friend, Ogerpon killed them in retaliation. The battle led to Ogerpon being shunned as an evil being by the people of Kitakami. Ogerpon is idolized by the young boy Kieran, and the player's capture of Ogerpon angers Kieran to a point that he grows distant from them and his sister, Carmine.{{Cite web |last=Bell |first=Lowell |date=2023-12-21 |title=Soapbox: Kieran's Hatred Of You In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet{{'}}s DLC Almost Makes It Good |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/features/soapbox-kieranrs-hatred-of-you-in-pokemon-scarlet-and-violets-dlc-almost-makes-it-good |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122202413/https://www.nintendolife.com/features/soapbox-kieranrs-hatred-of-you-in-pokemon-scarlet-and-violets-dlc-almost-makes-it-good |archive-date=22 January 2024 |access-date=2024-08-14 |website=Nintendo Life |language=en-GB}} When Terastallized, Ogerpon can adopt a unique form depending on the Mask it holds.{{Cite web |last=Scariati |first=Andrew |date=2023-09-23 |title=Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask - Every Ogerpon Form, Ranked |url=https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-teal-mask-best-ogerpon-mask-tier-list/ |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=TheGamer |language=en}}

Pecharunt, like Momotarō, was raised from a peach by two elderly people. Pecharunt highly enjoyed their praise, and it fed them some of its mochi, which corrupted the elderly people and made them greedy. They had Pecharunt retrieve things for their desires, eventually leading to Pecharunt being told to steal Ogerpon's masks. Pecharunt went on a journey, recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti in the process, eventually arriving in Kitakami. While stealing the masks, they accidentally killed Ogerpon's friend, leading to Ogerpon attacking in retaliation. While its companions were killed, Pecharunt was sent into dormancy by the attack. It reawakens during the events of the story, using its mochi to mind control the people of Kitakami to do its bidding before being captured by the player.

Though she found several of the designs to be of a high standard, such as Skeledirge, Dachsbun, Pawmot, and Finizen, she felt that the majority of the designs in the game were not up to the standard of other entries in the series.{{Cite web |last=Henley |first=Stacey |date=2022-11-27 |title=These New Pokemon Are Bad, Right? |url=https://www.thegamer.com/new-pokemon-bad-scarlet-violet/ |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=TheGamer |language=en |archive-date=15 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240815203913/https://www.thegamer.com/new-pokemon-bad-scarlet-violet/ |url-status=live }} Ben Sledge, also writing for TheGamer, additionally criticized the generation's Legendary Pokémon designs as being uninspired or unappealing, stating that "They're barely even creatures, they're just animals with weird colour palettes."{{Cite web |last=Sledge |first=Ben |date=2024-02-12 |title=Scarlet & Violet Made Legendary Pokemon Boring |url=https://www.thegamer.com/scarlet-violet-legendary-pokemon-boring/ |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=TheGamer |language=en |archive-date=14 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214200805/https://www.thegamer.com/scarlet-violet-legendary-pokemon-boring/ |url-status=live }}

Joe Parlock of TheGamer praised the sleek designs of the starters and the designs of several other Pokémon, including Smoliv, Fidough, Koraidon, and Miraidon. He described the individuality of the designs and how each of the designs helped build Paldea's culture, stating that it was "the most holistic approach to Pokémon design we've seen in decades."{{Cite web |last=Parlock |first=Joe |date=2022-10-18 |title=Gen 9 Has Been Nothing But Banger Pokemon Designs So Far |url=https://www.thegamer.com/gen-9-has-been-nothing-but-banger-pokemon-designs-so-far/ |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=TheGamer |language=en |archive-date=28 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221028152504/https://www.thegamer.com/gen-9-has-been-nothing-but-banger-pokemon-designs-so-far/ |url-status=live }} In a discussion among Nintendo Life staff about the best designs in the generation, the group highlighted many Pokémon, including Glimmora, Tandemaus, and Charcadet. Writer Kate Gray praised the "weirder" designs of generation IX, including Tandemaus and several species based around the concept of convergent evolution, while writer Alan Hagues thought that many of the middle and final evolutions had appealing designs, and that the generation overall had simple yet strong art design.{{Cite web |last=Gray |first=Kate |date=2022-11-24 |title=What's The Best New
