With skillful misdirection, it rigs foes with pollen-packed flower bombs. Meowscarada sets off the bombs before its foes realize what's going on. It uses the reflective fur lining its cape to camouflage the stem of its flower, creating the illusion that the flower is floating. Its name comes from meow, a sound that cats make, and "mascarada", the Spanish word for masquerade. Meowscarada gained a bit of attention online after players used Scarlet and Violet's picnic feature to make it look like they were kissing it.[4][5]

Quaxwell is taller than Quaxly and has dark blue hair that goes further down in the back. The hardworking Quaxwell observes people and Pokémon from various regions and incorporates their movements into its own dance routines. They constantly run through shallow waters to train their legs, then compete with each other to see which of them kicks most gracefully. It bears a small resemblance to how Spanish young men dressed and acted long ago.
Quaquaval Wēnibaru (ウェーニバル) 0914 Water Fighting Quaxwell (#913) End of evolution Quaquaval is a duck-like Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Quaquaval is most likely a portmanteau of "quack", "quack", and "naval", as well as Carnival. A single kick from a Quaquaval can send a truck rolling. With its powerful legs, it strike dancing poses in ways that evoke far-away places, and it mesmerizes all that see it. Flourishes of its decorative water feathers slice into its foes. Its signature move, Aqua Step, allows it to kick upwards into a backflip and land in a spinning kick, sending its detached, peacock-esque feathers at its opponent.

Lechonk's English name is a combination of "lechón", a Spanish pork dish, "oink", an onomatopoeia for the sound of a pig, and "chonk", which itself is derived from "chunk(y)", slang for a fat animal.[3] Upon announcement, response to this Pokémon was overwhelmingly positive, likening the name to various internet memes.[6] It has a keen sense of smell, though it does not use it for anything else but for foraging.

It is extremely small, and flees immediately via jumping, if anything gets too close. It keeps its third pair of legs folded up on its back and unfolds them to spring forward great distances. Its name is derived from the words "nymph" and "nimble".
Lokix Ekusureggu (エクスレッグ) 0920 Bug Dark Nymble (#919) End of evolution Lokix is a grasshopper-like Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, bearing particular resemblance to the locust variety of grasshoppers. Having grown significantly since its past evolution, it can now use its normally-folded third set of legs to attack instead of flee. By standing on its third set of legs, Lokix enters what is called Showdown Mode. It defeats its foes swiftly and easily in this form, but this places a burden on its body, so it cannot stay in Showdown Mode for long before having to recharge. Its name is derived from "locust" and "kicks", pronounced like "low kicks", referencing its primary method of attacking. Lokix also seems to take inspiration from the titular heroes of the Kamen Rider franchise; the first of whom, like Lokix, had a grasshopper motif.
Pawmi Pamo (パモ) 0921 Electric Beginning of evolution Pawmo (#922) Pawmi is a marmot-like Pokémon, and the regional Pikachu-like creature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Dudunsparce Nokokotchi (ノココッチ) 0982 Normal Dunsparce (#206) End of evolution Dudunsparce looks very similar to Dunsparce but has two body segments, sometimes three. Its name is an elongation of Dunsparce, as it is a Dunsparce with more body segments. It may also incorporate double or dud. Dudunsparce has gotten mixed reception from fans. Some people think it looks too similar to Dunsparce, while others found the design funny for the same reason.[8] It drills holes in bedrock and dirt for nests reaching six miles in length. It drives out foes by sucking in enough air for its skinny narrow lungs and expelling it, creating a powerful blast if it is angry. It is usually gentle though, letting Pokémon that accidentally stumble in its nest a ride on its back to the entrance of its nest. A recent study found that a Dunsparces genes will determine if it has two or three segments of its body.
Kingambit Dodogezan (ドドゲザン) 0983 Dark Steel Bisharp (#625) End of evolution Kingambit, like its pre-evolutions Pawniard and Bisharp, it is based both on a piece in Chess and samurai, although Kingambit is specifically based on a shogun. Its name comes from King, Gambit, and King's Gambit, a chess opening in which the player with white "gambits" the f-pawn in order to gain total control of the center. Kingambit notably has a lower base speed statistic than its pre-evolution Bisharp which may represent the fact that Kings in Chess do not have many movement squares, especially when compared to the infinite diagonals of Bishops. Only a Bisharp that stands above all others in its vast army can evolve into Kingambit, and though it commands a massive army in battle, it is not skilled at devising complex strategies as it just uses brute strength to keep pushing.
