Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Cabo Poco is the hometown of Liko, her father Alex, and her mother Lucca. It first appeared in Welcome to Paldea!, where Liko returned home after visiting Mesagoza, accompanied by Roy and Friede. After getting her father's permission to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers, Liko left home once more.

In Welcome to Naranja Academy!, Liko was shown to have returned home once more following her, Roy, and Dot's decision to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon. Lucca later escorted her to Los Platos, from where Liko continued on her own to Mesagoza so she could start attending Naranja Academy.

Biri-Biri

The battle court on the private beach behind Nemona's house appeared in the music video for Biri-Biri, where a battle was held between Anna's Fuecoco and Nemona's Sprigatito

Pokémon: Paldean Winds

Cabo Poco briefly appeared at the beginning of Breathe Together.

In the TCG

Main article: Beach Court (Scarlet & Violet 167)

The battle court on the private beach behind Nemona's house is featured in the TCG as Beach Court, which was introduced as a Stadium card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Scarlet ex set before debuting in English in the Scarlet & Violet expansion, with artwork by Oswaldo KATO. A gold-etched hyper rare print with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the Paradox Rift expansion. It reduces the retreat cost of all Basic Pokémon in play by 1.

Trivia

• Both the Player’s house and Nemona’s house seem to be inspired by Spanish Colonial Revival architecture villas, sharing hallmarks such as stucco façades; low-pitched clay tile roofs; round-arched doors and windows; brick/stone trim; wrought-iron grilles with flower boxes; azulejo-style tile accents; and courtyard-like entries with planters or fountains.
• In Nemona's house in Cabo Poco, there is a painting, made in the style of the Spanish painter Joan Miró, that appears to reference Ash-Greninja.
  • Despite this, Ash-Greninja is not present in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet due to a change in the way its Battle Bond Ability works.
  • In addition, the front of the house has stained glass around the door that resembles a Tropius.
• Even though Cabo Poco is considered a town in the game, it is actually more of a hamlet due to it consisting of only two houses.

Origin

Cabo Poco may be inspired by Tarifa, a windswept coastal town surrounded by hills and known as the southernmost town of Peninsular Spain, as well as by the Punta de Tarifa, the southernmost tip of both Iberia and continental Europe, in the Province of Cádiz, Andalusia. Its name may also evoke the Cabo de Gata, a well-known cape in southern Andalusia.
