All five featured wild encounter Pokemon are among the first creatures players meet in Pokopia's Withered Wasteland and Bleak Beach areas, while the three raid Pokemon correspond to key ability teachers and Special Pokemon in the game.

3232 The costumed Ditto variants are a direct nod to Pokopia's central premise, where the player character is a Ditto that has transformed into a human. The hat variant references the construction helmet worn by Peakychu, while the cap variant references the player's customizable human appearance.
