A new video on the official Pokemon Youtube Channel has revealed a new form changing Pokemon is coming to the game, Morpeko!
Pokemon Sword and Shield looms ever closer to release, and the Official Pokemon Youtube channel has just released a new video detail more of the new Pokemon that will be arriving in the game. One of these new Pokemon is Morpeko, a form changing Pokemon that has been discovered in the Galar region.
Morpeko has two forms. His first form, Full Belly Mode, is an Electric/Dark-type, with the ability Hunger Switch. He looks very cute, and in the video seems to have some form of electric attack which looks very much like a hamster wheel, called Aura Wheel.
Morpeko also has its Hangry mode, which changes the Aural Wheel attack from Electric to Dark-type. Hangry Mode Morpeko looks a little bit on the grumpy side and is quite clearly not in a good mood. There will almost certainly be more reveal videos coming our way as we get closer to the game’s release. I’m very curious to see if there are any other new form changing Pokemon like Morpeko on the way. For now, here is plenty of information about Morpeko:
- Category: Two-Sided Pokémon
- Type: Electric/Dark
- Height: 1′
- Weight: 6.6 lbs.
- Ability: Hunger Switch – The sacs in Morpeko’s cheeks continuously generate electricity. This consumes energy, causing Morpeko to be constantly hungry. To satisfy this hunger, Morpeko always carries around Berry seeds to snack on. When experiencing prolonged hunger, Morpeko’s hormone balance changes. This causes its fur to change colors and triggers more aggressive and volatile behavior. The energy stored in its cheek sacs also changes from Electric-type to Dark-type. Morpeko’s Ability, Hunger Switch, is a new Ability that causes it to change its appearance each turn. Aura Wheel is Morpeko’s signature move, and it changes type depending on Morpeko’s form. In Full Belly Mode, the move is Electric-type. In Hangry Mode, the move becomes Dark-type.
Pokemon Sword and Shield will release for Nintendo Switch on November 15.
