Pokémon world locations

The Asado Desert (Japanese: ロースト砂漠 Roast Desert) is a large desert in the Paldea region, stretching a portion of the region's West Province. It contains the city of Cascarrafa.

Geography

The Asado Desert connects to West Province (Area Two) on the west and Cascarrafa on the east. The desert is very large and there will often be a sandstorm occuring. Like many other locations in Paldea, Asado Desert has a watchtower that serves as a fly point, however unlike other watchtowers, this one is mostly buried underneath the sand. There are several large rock formations throughout the desert that can be climbed once the player has unlocked the ability to climb walls on their Koraidon or Miraidon.

The Quaking Earth Titan, Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V, one of the five Titan Pokémon of the Paldea region, can be found here.

Pokémon Adventures

Scarlet & Violet arc

Asado Desert first appeared in Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!! and Battle! Team Star, the Delinquents!! 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. In the next chapter, Arven was surprised to see Miraidon returning with Scarlet instead of Violet.
