A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here. Probability weight indicates the likelihood that a Pokémon will spawn at a certain point in this location relative to others that can spawn there. A higher probability weight generally indicates that a Pokémon is more likely to spawn. Pokémon with the highest or lowest level requirements may not spawn in every possible location within this area. A bolded level range replaces the Pokémon's non-bolded level range after the player has completed The Way Home.

• There are few valid "Rocky Area" and "Flower" biome spawn point in this area, which can make it more difficult to find specific Pokémon that only spawn from that point.

Scarlet & Violet arc

Asado Desert first appeared in PASV02 and PASV03 as the first stop on Violet and Arven's quest to find the Herba Mystica. In the desert, they encountered two Paradox Pokémon, a Great Tusk and an Iron Treads, the latter which they identified as the Quaking Earth Titan due to its size. Despite having some initial success against it with Violet's Fuecoco, Iron Treads ultimately proved too strong, so Arven suggested they retreat for the time being, which Violet accepted.

Later, Violet and Arven passed through Asado Desert again, though the Quaking Earth Titan was nowhere in sight. Cassiopeia contacted them and informed Violet that Team Star's Schedar Squad was planning on increasing their security following Violet's victory over Giacomo and suggested he'd head to their base to deal with them before the new security could arrive. While Violet agreed, Arven was more eager to find the Quaking Earth Titan and its Herba Mystica in order to heal his Mabosstiff more. As such, Violet chose to leave Arven behind in the desert, telling him to contact him if he found the Titan. Worried that Violet would have less allies now to take on Team Star, Arven contacted Clavell for help.
