Morelull's typing allows it to check threatening Pokemon in LC such as Carvanha, Tyrunt, and Grookey without Acrobatics. Unlike its main competition, Foongus, Morelull is not weak to Psychic, letting it more easily tank Psychic Fangs from Carvanha and Tyrunt. Morelull is also bulkier than Foongus; however, it lacks Regenerator. Moonblast is another selling point over Foongus, hitting Tyrunt and Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr super effectively. Effect Spore can potentially punish Pokemon that make contact with Morelull, such as Carvanha using Flip Turn, with one of paralysis, sleep, or poison. Natu is a great teammate, as it hits two of Morelull's hardest checks in Foongus and Ferroseed super effectively and annoys them with Magic Bounce. Poison-types such as Koffing also force Morelull out; Porygon with Psychic can deal with these Pokemon while appreciating Morelull's ability to check Fighting-types.
