Where to Find Morpeko in the Teal Mask DLC
Morpeko can only be found in the wild inPokemon Violet. Players can start their search as soonas they arrive in Kitakamiand start the main story quest. Morpeko is found in most wild areas on the edges of Kitakami, particularly in grassy plains toward the west in the Paradise Barrens zone. Additionally, there are instances of them on Oni Mountain.
While Morpeko are found all around, they are difficult to see due to their small size, whether it is night or day. Players are likely to find one or two Morpeko in a general area, and they are more relaxed on the field, so engaging in battle is easy. Searching for Morpeko on the mountain is slightly easier because their colors stand out more.
Morpeko is an Electric/Dark-typePokemon. It falls into the Pikaclone category, but has a unique ability. Hunger Switch allows it to switch between Full Belly and Hangry Morpeko. These forms determine whether its signature move, Aura Wheel, is Electric or Dark-type. See below for a breakdown of Morpeko’s base stats:
How to Get Morpeko in Pokemon Scarlet
