What Spooky Surprises Await?
Morpeko makes its Pokémon GO debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, especially effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League.
Morpeko's Full Belly and Hangry Modes shift mid-battle based on its Charged Attack. Full Belly Mode uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power move boosting Attack. Hangry Mode's Aura Wheel becomes Dark-type, retaining the 100-power and Attack boost.
