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]

Its head bears skull-like patterns, and the egg on Crocalor's head has hatched into a flaming bird, representing the symbiosis between a crocodile and an Egyptian plover. Its name comes from "skeleton" and "dirge". The fiery bird changes shape when Skeledirge sings. Rumor has it that the bird was born when the fireball on Skeledirge’s head gained a soul. Skeledirge’s gentle singing soothes the souls of all that hear it. It burns its enemies to a crisp with flames of over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Kuwassu has the same inspirations, being taken from the Japanese word for "quack", "kuwakku" (クワック), and the Japanese word for "wax", "wakkusu" (ワックス). It migrated to Paldea from distant lands long ago. The gel secreted by its feathers repels water and grime. Its strong legs let it easily swim around in even fast-flowing rivers.

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	Wanibaru (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.

Lokix	Exleg (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.

This Pokémon is particularly noisy, and can be found with four differently colored plumages: green, blue, yellow, and white.

While bearing similarities to Tentacool (which is instead inspired by actual jellyfish), it is a different species. This idea seems to stem from the concept of convergent evolution.

Revavroom	Burororōmu (ブロロローム)	0966	Steel	Poison	Varoom (#965)	End of evolution	It creates a gas out of poison and minerals from rocks. It then detonates the gas in its cylinders, now numbering eight, to generate energy.

Each leader of the Team Star bases has one of these in an enhanced, modified version, called Starmobiles, as their ace Pokémon.
Cyclizar	Mototokage (モトトカゲ)	0967	Dragon	Normal	No evolution		Cyclizar is a bicycle-themed lizard-like Pokémon that was introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Clodsire	Dooh (ドオー)	0980	Poison	Ground	Wooper (#194)	End of evolution	Clodsire appears to be based on the Iberian ribbed newt, as it has large spikes that protrude from its back. Its name comes from clod, meaning a lump of dirt, and Quagsire, the evolution of a Johtonian Wooper. When attacked, it will retaliate by sticking thick spines out from its body, but this is a risky move that puts everything on the line. It lives at the bottom of ponds and swamps and it carries Paldean Wooper on its back and ferry them across water from one shore to the other.

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.

It drives out foes by sucking in enough air for its skinny narrow lungs and expelling it, creating a powerful blast if it's angry. It's usually gentle though, letting Pokemon 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 2 or 3 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's not skilled at devising complex strategies as it just uses brute strength to keep pushing.
