Morpeko is a dual Electric and Dark-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 8. It has two battle forms: Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode. Hunger Switch changes Morpeko between these forms at the end of each turn, while Aura Wheel changes from Electric-type in Full Belly Mode to Dark-type in Hangry Mode.
