Card 111

Okidogi, the Retainer Pokémon, is a Poison/Fighting type introduced in Generation IX as part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This formidable canine-like Pokémon is one of the Loyal Three, legendary Pokémon revered in the land of Kitakami. Okidogi is known for its incredible physical strength and volatile temper, often seen swinging its chain of toxic mochi like a weapon. Its unique physiology, particularly its robust build and the distinctive chain around its neck, sets it apart. In the games, Okidogi plays a significant role in the lore of Kitakami, where it, alongside Munkidori and Fezandipiti, was once believed to be a benevolent protector. Its diet is primarily composed of the mochi that it produces and attaches to its chain, which is imbued with a potent poison. Okidogi's aggressive and territorial behavior makes it a challenging opponent, often resorting to brute force. Its Fighting typing gives it an advantage against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel types, while its Poison typing helps against Grass and Fairy. The cultural significance of Okidogi lies in its role within the traditional tales and festivals of Kitakami, where it is both feared and respected, ultimately revealing a complex backstory intertwined with the region's history.
