[SET COMMENTS]
Morgrem is commonly known for being the best screen setter in NFE. Its ability, Prankster, allows it to use a status move before usually fainting or being attacked. Light Screen and Reflect are moves used to support Morgrem's teammates and are also used to compensate for Morgrem's average bulk and lack of Eviolite. Thunder Wave is Morgrem's best status move, allowing it to target faster attackers that can otherwise be a threat such as Kadabra, Raboot, and Shell Smash Wartortle. Morgrem can also use Taunt to shut down walls like Corsola-Galar and Ferroseed and prevent Togetic and Dartrix from clearing dual screens with Defog. Dazzling Gleam is Morgrem's best damaging move that hits common wallbreakers like Machoke, Fraxure, and Galarian Linoone. 192 SpA allows for Morgrem to OHKO Flame Orb Machoke after Stealth Rock damage while 128 Speed EVs allow Morgrem to outspeed Flame Orb Machoke.
Morgrem best functions early- to late-game as a support to offensive teams and usually is best paired with wallbreakers and set up sweepers, as the provided longevity allows them to tank opposing attacks better. Pokemon like Kadabra, Flame Orb Machoke, Choice Band Piloswine, Thwackey, and Wartortle are especially good under screen support. You should try to avoid bringing Morgrem in on Pokemon that commonly run Knock Off, as you want to have your dual screens last for longer; alternatively, if it can afford to, Morgrem's resistance to Knock Off helps it switch into Galarian Linoone and Machoke for teammates. Additionally, offensive entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Roselia, and Drilbur are good partners, as they can keep an offensive pressure up while also benefiting the rest of the team by putting threats in range of attacks.
