While it may look cute and harmless at first, the Two-Sided Pokemon is a potent threat in PU! Aura Wheel gives Morpeko a powerful STAB option against foes such as Poliwrath and Indeedee-F, and its Speed boost can allow Morpeko to become hard to stop; however, its unreliability means Morpeko enjoys having Knock Off for a more consistent attack into foes such as Farigiraf. Either Tera Dark or Electric can be used, as Hunger Switch no longer changes Aura Wheel's type after Morpeko Terastallizes, giving it an incredibly reliable and spammable STAB move. Against less immediately threatening Pokemon such as Articuno, Morpeko can support its team with Rapid Spin, threatening out spinblockers such as Sableye thanks to its Dark typing. Parting Shot allows Morpeko to gain momentum for its team and get away from problematic matchups such as Gabite. Morpeko struggles with bulky Ground-types, so Pokemon such as Abomasnow and Basculin are naturally good partners; in turn, Morpeko threatens out their common checks such as Cryogonal and Poliwrath. Due to its frailty, Morpeko also enjoys having partners to fall back on when it needs to switch out; defensive tanks such as Weezing and Chansey check Pokemon that threaten Morpeko such as Alolan Dugtrio.
