The burning question on every trainer’s mind venturing into the Kitakami region is: What level are the Loyal Three Pokémon? The answer is straightforward: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti all appear at Level 70 when you finally get the opportunity to battle and catch them. So, gear up, trainers, because you’re in for a challenging fight! This article will dive deep into everything you need to know about these formidable Pokémon, including strategies for catching them, and much more.

Preparing for the Loyal Three
Understanding Their Types
Before you even set foot in Kitakami, it’s crucial to understand the typing of each member of the Loyal Three:
-
Okidogi: Poison/Fighting-type. This means he’s strong against Bug, Fighting, Grass, Dark, and Poison-type Pokémon, but weak against Flying, Ground, Psychic, and Water-type attacks.
-
Munkidori: Poison/Psychic-type. He’s strong against Fighting and Poison-type Pokémon, but vulnerable to Ground, Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type attacks.
-
Fezandipiti: Poison/Fairy-type. He’s strong against Fighting, Bug, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokémon, but weak against Ground, Steel, Poison, and Water-type attacks.
Building Your Dream Team
With this knowledge, you can tailor your team to exploit their weaknesses. Consider including Pokémon with strong Ground, Psychic, and Flying-type moves, though be mindful of your own team’s vulnerabilities. Having a diverse team that can handle different type matchups is essential.
Item Essentials
Don’t forget to stock up on essential items before your adventure. Healing items, status condition cures, and a generous supply of Ultra Balls (or even better, Quick Balls for a first-turn attempt) are vital for a successful hunt. Persim Berries and Lum Berries can be especially helpful for dealing with Poison and other status ailments.
The Hunt: Locations and Strategies
Okidogi in Paradise Barrens
Okidogi resides in the Paradise Barrens. Be prepared for a physical powerhouse with a strong Fighting-type presence. Ground and Psychic-type attackers are your best bet here.
Munkidori in Wisteria Pond
Munkidori awaits you at Wisteria Pond in the Wistful Fields. His Psychic typing makes him a tricky opponent, so Dark, Ground, and Ghost types are your go-to choices.
Fezandipiti in Fellhorn Gorge
Head to the Fellhorn Gorge to find Fezandipiti. His Fairy typing can be problematic, so Poison, Steel, and Ground-type attacks will give you the upper hand.
The Uncatchable Beginning
Remember, you cannot catch the Loyal Three during the initial storyline encounters. These battles are designed to showcase their power and introduce them as antagonists. You must progress through the Teal Mask DLC storyline until you have the opportunity for the rematch where catching them is possible.
FAQs: Deep Dive into the Loyal Three and Beyond
Here are some frequently asked questions about the Loyal Three, and other relevant Pokémon Scarlet and Violet topics, to enhance your knowledge and strategies:
-
What level will Pokémon obey in Scarlet and Violet? With no badges, Pokémon up to Level 20 will obey. Each subsequent badge increases this limit by 10 levels, culminating in full obedience after obtaining all badges.
-
What happens if you catch a Pokémon above your obedience level? The Pokémon will frequently disobey your commands, potentially skipping turns, attacking themselves, or simply doing nothing. It’s frustrating, to say the least!
-
Can you rebattle the Loyal Three if you accidentally defeat them? Yes! If you accidentally knock out one of the Loyal Three before catching it, don’t panic. They will respawn after a certain in-game time. You might need to leave the area and return later to trigger their respawn.
-
Are the Loyal Three shiny locked? While the hunt for shiny Pokémon is a popular pursuit, the Loyal Three are not shiny locked. This means it’s possible to encounter them in their shiny forms, albeit with considerable patience (and luck!).

What are some good Pokémon to use against the Loyal Three? Great options include:
- Against Okidogi: Garchomp (Ground/Dragon), Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy), and Salamence (Dragon/Flying).
