Pokemon officially introduced Pecharunt, the Subjugation Pokemon which can be encountered in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet games. You can encounter Pecharunt during the epilogue of the DLC but you need to acquire some items to meet Pecharunt.
Here are more details about Pecharunt, quoting from Pokemon:

Lore
What appeared to be a mere shop decoration was actually Pecharunt – dormant, but patiently waiting to be reawakened.
This Pokémon rolls up poison secreted from its shell to make Binding Mochi, which it serves to people and Pokémon. Pecharunt then uses chains to control those who eat its Binding Mochi, which is not only delicious but also appears to draw out the deepest desires and latent powers of those who eat it. Pecharunt can also be very sly. For example, it will feign weakness by weeping and acting like a baby to gain the sympathy of others.
There is a theory that long ago, Pecharunt travelled to the land of Kitakami together with the Loyal Three, each of whom it had subjugated using its Binding Mochi – all to obtain certain masks coveted by an elderly couple who cared for Pecharunt.
Pecharunt found itself embroiled in battle with Ogerpon over the masks – ultimately resulting in Pecharunt’s defeat. It withdrew into its shell and, over time, became known to the locals as the Never-Rotting Peach.

Pecharunt’s Ability, Poison Puppeteer, is a new Ability introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. This Ability causes Pokémon that are poisoned or badly poisoned by Pecharunt’s moves to also become confused.
Pecharunt’s signature move, Malignant Chain, is an attack which launches a chain made of poison that may also leave its target badly poisoned.
