Biology

Okidogi using its chain as a weapon

Okidogi is a bulky, bipedal canine Pokémon, with broad shoulders, pointy ears, and a large, fluffy tail. Its fur is almost entirely black, except for the green on its muzzle, face, chest, hands, back, waist, thighs, and feet. It has magenta crescent-shaped markings on its face, which also contains yellow eyes, a rounded magenta nose, and sharp teeth. Its ears have magenta insides, and its hands have five fingers each and magenta paw pads. Hanging around its neck is a magenta Toxic Chain that resembles a leash. Okidogi is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

In myth, it is said that Okidogi was once a smaller, weaker Pokémon, but a desire for strength led it to meet the Mythical Pokémon Pecharunt, in need of retainers in its journey to Kitakami, used its Binding Mochi and Toxic Chain to tame and transform Okidogi. This resulted in the Toxic Chain being wrapped around its neck, chaining Okidogi to Pecharunt's will. Okidogi transformed as the chain enhanced its capabilities, granting it a powerful physique by stimulating its muscles heavily.^[1] The toxic chain, when thrown, is powerful enough to let Okidogi pulverize anything it hits. It is a ruffian with a short temper. It traveled from a distant land with Munkidori, Fezandipiti, and Pecharunt to steal the masks of Ogerpon and its partner and gift them to Pecharunt's caretakers, Okidogi and Fezandipiti were sent to sneak into Ogerpon's cave while the two were away, managing to steal three of them, but Ogerpon's partner return in time to see what was happening and fend them off, managing to protect one of the masks, though left heavily injured. After finding out, Ogerpon encounters the four close to Mossui Town, and attacks them, Okidogi losing its life in the fight along with the other retainers. Pecharunt managed to survive, being knocked out and sent rolling away inside its shell. To the villagers of Mossui Town, it looked like the trio had fallen protecting the village from the enraged ogre, nicknaming them the Loyal Three and giving them a proper burial.

Okidogi, together with Munkidori and Fezandipiti, are known as the Loyal Three, the heroes of Kitakami. They are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that once protected the land from the "evil ogre",^[2] and stone statues bearing their likenesses were made by the people as an expression of their gratitude right where the three had been buried.^[3] According to locals, worshiping Okidogi will grant kindness and help ensure things are 'okey-dokey' between both sides. Even with its greedy and mean personality, Okidogi has good relationships with its teammates, talking to them in private and acting together to defeat their opponents. By consuming the Kitakami Mochis, Okidogi can become a Titanic Pokémon.

Okidogi (center) in The Teal Mask

• Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask: Okidogi is a main character and a boss in the DLC. In the past, Okidogi was a small and weak Pokémon that after meeting Pecharunt, was tamed by its Binding Mochi and transformed by its toxic chain to help it find a brilliant set of masks rumored to exist in the land of Kitakami for its caretakers, granting it a powerful physique as a result. Okidogi became one of Pecharunt's retainers alogside Munkidori and Fezandipiti and all travelled together to Kitakami.
  • The four found out the masks were owned by an ogre named Ogerpon and its human partner, Munkidori tracked down their home and both Okidogi and Fezandipiti managed to steal three of the masks, while the man managed to protect the teal one, being left heavily injured as a result. They returned to Pecharunt with the masks, but after Ogerpon found out what happened, it attacked and slayed the three retainers, however, leaving Pecharunt only unconscious.
  • Okidogi along with Munkidori and Fezandipiti were buried in a monument for them at the Loyalty Plaza, as they were considered heroes by the people of Mossui Town supposing they perished defending the village from Ogerpon's rage, naming them as the Loyal Three and worshipping them for many generations.
  • In The Teal Mask, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti are seemingly accidently ressurected by Kieran and quickly retrieved the three masks they've stolen in the past and went to take revenge on Ogerpon for slaying them, but they're scared off by the player, Carmine and Kieran, deciding to split up across Kitakami, Okidogi specifically, travelled to Paradise Barrens with the Cornerstone Mask. Eventually the player and Carmine find it as The Titanic Okidogi, have grown larger thanks to the Kitakami Mochi served to the three at Kitakami Hall, but is still defeated and flees, leaving the mask behind as the team retrieves one of them.
  • After finishing the story, the player can find Okidogi where it was last fought at, battle it and catch it.
  • In Mochi Mayhem, if any of the Loyal Three are used during the battle against Pecharunt, it'll become shocked and angered that its retainers serve the player instead of itself now.

Trivia

Origin

Okidogi seems to be based on a dog, specifically the Shiba Inu or the Japanese Akita, as it shares a bulkier appearance with the latter. The similarity is further pronounced with its Shiny form and the association of the Land of Kitakami and the Tōhoku region (Northeast Japan) where Akita Prefecture is located. The chain on its neck resembles a dog leash.

Okidogi, together with Munkidori, Fezandipiti, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The purple chain could be based on a shimenawa.

Name origin

Okidogi may be a combination of okie-dokie (variant of "okay") and dog.

Iineinu may be a combination of いいね ii ne (interjection to express approval) and 犬 inu (dog).
