Nakewameke (ナケワメーケ Nakewamēke?) are the main monsters of Fresh Pretty Cure! used to cause chaos and misery. These creatures play the role of the monsters-of-the-day, similar to the Zakenna, Uzaina, Kowaina and Hoshina in the preceding series. Their name can mean "cry and shout". Unlike most magical girl anime, most of the choice of monsters in this season are robots. They are the first monsters who are created to primarily attack civilians rather than fight the Pretty Cures, followed by Desertrians, Negatones and Jikochuus. Each of the diamond shape colours depends who summoned it: Eas (Dark red), Wester (Yellow) and Soular (Dark green).
Eas is given Nakisakebe (ナキサケーベ Nakisakēbe?) after a while, but the rest still used Nakewameke until being passed Sorewatase (ソレワターセ Sorewatāse?), and even then still used Nakewameke once in a while. After Westar and Soular have joined the Cures' side, they are able to summon a new type of monsters, the Hohoemina. Those are the only non-villainous monsters in the Pretty Cure franchise.
For unknown reasons, while it is traditional for the battleground to return to its ordinary state when the monster of the day is defeated, Fresh Pretty Cure! does not follow this tradition often.
It is worth noting that Nakewameke, Nakisakebe, Sorewatase, and Hohoemina are voiced by the same seiyuu, Nakano Shintarou.
Nakewameke
Nakisakebe
Nakisakebe (ナキサケーベ Nakisakeebe?) is the monster used by Eas exclusively. She received it in a form of card from Moebius. The card can only be used four times.
Nakisakebe is much stronger and faster than Nakewameke. However, using this card is a double-edged sword, as user will suffer a great pain caused by thorny vines that entwine on user's arm and grow as the time passes. Only by defeating Nakisakebe causes the vines to disappear.
The physical appearance of Nakisakebe is more monstrous than Nakewameke and less resembles the object used to create it. Also unlike Nakewameke, it groans consistently.

Trivia
- All four monster types from Labyrinth are not from the same type.
- The origin of the first Hohoemina could be possibly from Cure Angel Passion's feather, so being created by the original Labyrinth trio: Eas, who is the origin, Westar, who has taken the feather, and Soular, who has actually summoned the Hohoemina.
- The second Hohoemina has its origin from Cure Angel Pine's feather and is summoned by Westar.
- In the Italian Dub, the Nakewameke make robotic noises when they speak.
- The Nakewameke are the first monsters who have a different-colored symbol or object on them depending on which member summoned it, followed by the Saiarks from Happiness Charge Pretty Cure!.
