How to get Morpeko in Pokémon Go?

Morpeko debuted in Pokémon Go during the first part of Halloween 2024.

Here’s how to catch Morpeko during Halloween 2024, part 1:

• Halloween 2024: Spiritomb Challenge – Catch 108 Dark or Ghost-type Pokemon.
• Exclusive research assignment – Win 2 raids
• Go Battle League Rank 16 Rewards – Both in the free and premium versions, but more often in the premium version.
• Paid research quest for a while – The cost is US$5 or the equivalent in your local currency.

When it comes to capturing Morpeko, we recommend doing so through either the Halloween 2024: Spiritomb Challenge quest or the exclusive Research Mission. Halloween 2024: Spiritomb Challenge is the easiest option, as while you’ll have to spend some time completing this quest, you’ll have access to it from the start of Halloween 2024 Part 1. This means you don’t have to hunt him down like a Research Exclusive task, or spend real money on it, as in a paid research quest over time.

If you want to take the exclusive route of research tasks, it is important to remember that the tasks awarded by PokéStops change daily, and seasonal research tasks remain active during events. Thanks to this, you will need to find the right PokeStop every day that gives the desired task. Joining a local Pokémon Go group can be helpful in this quest, as someone may already have found the stop you’re looking for.

Remember: exclusive research tasks can be completed after the event is completed, so as long as you don’t delete it, you can complete it at any time.

As for getting Morpeko through Go Battle League, you will only be able to do so if you manage to defeat at least three trainers in one Battle Pack. This will unlock the Pokémon encounter reward, but keep in mind that the Pokémon you receive may not be a Morpeko. Although this will appear more often if you use the premium version, but again, it will cost money. Because of this, we recommend only attempting to obtain Morpeko through the Go Battle League during Halloween 2024 Part 1 if you are familiar with the Pokémon Go PvP scene and have a strong set of Pokémon that you can use. If not, then you may find yourself without Morpeko.

Since we’re talking about Go Battle League, we know that after Halloween 2024 Part 1 ends. Morpeko will be a possible reward for meeting Pokemon once you reach Rank 16. Again, it will appear more often if you are on the premium track and you need the Pokemon to be strong enough in the various leagues to reach rank 16. Since this can be quite time-consuming, especially if you took part in the Go Battle League this season, we recommend catching Morpeko using other methods during Halloween 2024 Part 1. This will ensure that you add Morpeko to your Pokédex. and can experiment with his ability to shapeshift.

But what is this ability to change shape…

The Max Out Season is here and includes the new Wild Area global event! You can now catch Dynamax Pokemon in max battles. However, first you need to visit the power points to collect the maximum number of particles and complete the task “To the Maximum!” quest Be sure to try out trails, gift exchanges, and group play while you hunt for rare Pokémon, battle in a Go Battle league, or compete in PokéStop showcases.

How to change Morpeko’s form: Morpeko’s attack explained in Pokémon Go

Morpeko has the ability to switch between its forms—full belly mode and hover mode—after you’ve used a charged attack. Using a charged attack a second time will revert Morpeko back to its previous form. Basically it’s: Full Belly, Hungry, Full Belly, Hungry, etc. Continues until the battle is over or Morpeko is defeated.

At the time of writing, changing Morpeko’s form can only be done in Team Rocket battles or in the Go Battle League. Hopefully we’ll see this in raids and max battles sometime in the future.

Changing Morpeko’s form not only changes its appearance, but also the type of its Charged attack, Aura Wheel. In Full Belly mode, Aura Wheel will be an Electric type attack, but in Cheerful mode it will be a Dark type attack. This means that the attack has an advantage over Flying and Water type Pokémon when it is Electric, but when it is a Dark type, it can deal super effective damage to Ghost and Psychic type Pokémon.

The trick to using the Aura Wheel is to always try to use it against Pokemon that you currently have an advantage over. If Morpeko is in Hangry Mode against a Ghost-type, but your opponent switches out their Pokémon for another, be sure to do the same to reserve that move for later use.

Good luck catching Morpeko in Pokémon Go!
