[SET COMMENTS]

Choice Band Morpeko is a unique offensive threat thanks to its signature move Aura Wheel and typing giving it a resistance to common revenge killers like Choice Scarf Rotom and Sucker Punch Shiftry. Aura Wheel gives Morpeko +1 Speed after each use, allowing it to outpace offensive threats like Rapidash and Cinccino to clean weakened teams late-game. Crunch provides Morpeko with a reliable Dark-type STAB move, hitting foes such as Gourgeist formes and Rotom. Seed Bomb is Morpeko's best coverage against opposing Ground-types, granting it a 2HKO against Piloswine and Rhydon after Stealth Rock damage.

Ground-types are able to play around Aura Wheel and must be eliminated before Morpeko can effectively clean. Water-types such Poliwrath, Qwilfish, and Wishiwashi pair well with Morpeko, as they weaken Ground-types and benefit from Morpeko's ability to pressure Pokemon like Rotom and Articuno. Special attackers like Jynx, Aurorus, and Choice Specs Basculin are also able to handle the aforementioned Ground-types and eliminate physically defensive walls such as Acid Armor Alcremie and Tangela. These special attackers also appreciate Morpeko weakening bulky Water-types such as Poliwrath, Pyukumuku, and Wishiwashi.

[SET COMMENTS]

Morpeko holds a niche as a Rapid Spin user on offensive teams, handling some common entry hazard setters such as Uxie and Qwilfish. It also threatens Ghost-types such as Cofagrigus, Rotom, and Gourgeist formes, which other Rapid Spin users such as Coalossal and Eldegross do not do as effectively. However, Morpeko has a poor matchup against other entry hazard setters, especially Ground-types such as Piloswine, Rhydon, and Stunfisk, which limit its effectiveness. Aura Wheel serves as Morpeko's strongest STAB move, hitting foes like Qwilfish, Cramorant, and Articuno in Full Belly Mode and Uxie and Rotom in Hangry Mode. Protect allows Morpeko to safely switch between its Full Belly and Hangry formes while also allowing it to scout moves from Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Sawk. Parting Shot pairs well with the Speed boost provided by Aura Wheel and allows Morpeko to pivot from unfavorable matchups.

Morpeko works best on offensive entry hazard stacking teams that appreciate its Rapid Spin and pivot support. Entry hazard setters such as Qwilfish, Coalossal, and Alolan Sandslash synergize well with Morpeko, the former checking Fighting-types such as Sawk and Fairy-types such as Clefairy; in return, Morpeko is able to handle foes like Rotom and Cramorant. Piloswine is able to wear down opposing Ground-types like Rhydon and set Stealth Rock. Wallbreakers like Jynx, Aurorus, and Flapple appreciate Morpeko luring walls like Tangela and Altaria and bringing them in with Parting Shot. Attackers such as Kangaskan and setup sweepers such as Silvally-Poison enjoy Morpeko's Rapid Spin support.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Uxie and Miltank from setting entry hazards and foes such as Altaria and Rotom-S from recovering health or using Defog. Life Orb grants Morpeko the freedom to switch between its moves, but the recoil can bring it in range of priority moves such as Basculin's Aqua Jet. Also, the decrease in damage output compared to Choice Band leaves Morpeko unable to reliably 2HKO Pokemon such as Altaria.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ground-types**: Bulky Ground-types such as Piloswine, Rhydon, and Stunfisk are able to take most of Morpeko's attacks and force it out. However, they need to be healthy enough to tank a hit from Aura Wheel in Hangry Mode.

**Grass-types**: Defensive Grass-types such as Tangela, Eldegoss, and Appletun are able to take a hit from Morpeko and either cripple it with status or force it out.

**Physically Defensive Walls**: While they are unable to switch into Choice Band Aura Wheel, Morpeko struggles to break through physical walls such as Miltank and Altaria. Other physically bulky Pokemon such as Colbur Berry Cofagrigus and physically defensive Alcremie are able to withstand an attack and OHKO Morpeko.

**Revenge Killers**: Morpeko is susceptible to revenge killers, especially priority users, due to its poor bulk. Priority users such as Kangaskan, Gurdurr, and Basculin are to pick it off after it is weakened, while certain Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Silvally are able to revenge kill Morpeko if it lacks a Speed boost.

Paragraph 1:
Choice Band Morpeko is a unique offensive threat thanks to its signature move Aura Wheel and typing giving it a resistance to common revenge killers like Choice Scarf Rotom and Sucker Punch Shiftry. Aura Wheel gives Morpeko a Speed Boost +1 Speed (not to confuse with the ability speed boost) after each use, allowing it to outpace offensive threats like Rapidash and Accelgor to clean weakened teams late-game. Crunch provides Morpeko with a reliable an immediate (as opposed to waiting a turn) Dark-type STAB move, hitting foes such as Silvally-Ghost. Seed Bomb is Morpeko's best coverage against opposing Ground-types, granting it a 2HKO against Piloswine and Rhydon after Stealth Rock damage.

Ground-types are able to play around Aura Wheel so they must be eliminated before Morpeko can effectively clean. Water-types such Poliwrath, Qwilfish, and Wishiwashi pair well with Morpeko, weakening Ground-types while appreciating Morpeko's ability to pressure Pokemon like Rotom and Cramorant in return. Morpeko appreciates Garbodor and Garbodor's ability to wear down physical attacking revenge killers such as Kangaskan, Gurdurr, and Sawk with Rocky Helmet and entry hazards. Special attackers like Vanilluxe and Choice Specs Basculin are also able to handle the aforementioned Ground-types while eliminating physically defensive walls such as Cofagrigus and Tangela. These special attackers also appreciate Morpeko's ability to weaken bulky Water-types such as Poliwrath, Pyukumuku, and Wishiwashi over the course of a match. Centiskorch makes for good partner, handling opposing Grass-types like Tangela, Ferroseed, and Appletun while Morpeko pressures the likes of Cramorant and Rotom-S for it.

Other Options
=============

Taunt is an another utility option that prevents Pokemon such as Uxie and Ferroseed from setting entry hazards and foes such as Altaria and Rotom-S from recovering health or using Defog. (Add Life Orb)

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ground-types**: Bulky Ground-types such as Piloswine, Rhydon, and Galarian Stunfisk (no hyphen) are able to take most of Morpeko's attacks and force it out. Palossand is also able to check Morpeko though it must conserve its Colbur Berry.

**Grass-types**: Defensive Grass-types such as Tangela, Ferroseed, and Appletun are able to take a hit from Morpeko and either cripple it with status or threaten it out.

**Physical Walls**: (Can't break neutral walls like Garbodor, Miltank, and Altaria. Colbur Berry Cofa and physically defensive Alcremie are also problems. Caveat that CB sets have an easier time breaking them when locked into Aura Wheel)

**Revenge Killers**: Morpeko is susceptible to revenge killers, especially priority users, due to its poor bulk. Priority users such as Kangaskan, Gurdurr, Lycanroc, and Basculin are to pick it off after it is weakened while certain Choice Scarf users such as Sawk are able to revenge kill Morpeko if it lacks a Speed boost.

Choice Band Morpeko is a unique offensive threat thanks to its signature move Aura Wheel and typing giving it a resistance to common revenge killers like Choice Scarf Rotom and Sucker Punch Shiftry. Aura Wheel gives Morpeko +1 Speed after each use, allowing it to outpace offensive threats like Rapidash and Accelgor to clean weakened teams late-game. Crunch provides Morpeko with a reliable Dark-type STAB move, hitting foes such as Silvally-Ghost as well as hitting Ground-types such as Silvally-Ground and Galarian Stunfisk. Seed Bomb is Morpeko's best coverage against opposing Ground-types, granting it a 2HKO against Piloswine and Rhydon after Stealth Rock damage.

Ground-types are able to can play around Aura Wheel so they must be eliminated before Morpeko can effectively clean. Water-types such Poliwrath, Qwilfish, and Wishiwashi pair well with Morpeko, weakening Ground-types while appreciating Morpeko's ability to pressure pressuring Pokemon like Rotom and Articuno in return. Morpeko appreciates enjoys (two uses of apreciate in nearby sentences) Garbodor's ability to wearing down physical attacking revenge killers such as Kangaskan, Gurdurr, and Sawk with Rocky Helmet and entry hazards. Special attackers like Clawitzer and Choice Specs Basculin can are also able to handle the aforementioned Ground-types while eliminating physically defensive walls such as Acid Armor Alcremie and Tangela. These special attackers also appreciate Morpeko weakening bulky Water-types such as Poliwrath, Pyukumuku, and Wishiwashi over the course of a match. Centiskorch makes for a good partner, handling opposing Grass-types like Tangela, Ferroseed, and Appletun while Morpeko pressures the likes of Qwilfish, Cramorant, and Rotom-S for it.

Other Options
=============

Taunt is an another utility option that prevents Pokemon such as Uxie and Ferroseed from setting entry hazards and foes such as Altaria and Rotom-S from recovering health or using Defog. Life Orb grants Morpeko the freedom to switch between its moves but the recoil can bring Morpeko in range of priority moves such as Basculin's Aqua Jet. Also, the decrease in damage output compared to Choice Band leaves Morpeko unable to reliably 2HKO Pokemon such as Garbodor.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ground-types**: Bulky Ground-types such as Piloswine, Rhydon, and Galarian-Stunfisk(RH) are able to can take most of Morpeko's attacks and force it out. However, they must be wary of being healthy enough to tank a hit from Aura Wheel in Hangry Mode.

**Grass-types**: Defensive Grass-types such as Tangela, Ferroseed, and Appletun are able to can take a hit from Morpeko and either cripple it with status or threaten it out.

**Physically Defensive Walls**: While they are unable to switch into Choice Band Aura Wheel, Morpeko otherwise struggles to break physical walls such as Garbodor, Miltank, and Altaria. Other physically bulky Pokemon such as Colbur Berry Cofagrigus and physically defensive Alcremie are able to can withstand an attack and OHKO Morpeko back.

**Revenge Killers**: Morpeko is susceptible to revenge killers, especially priority users, due to its poor bulk. Priority users such as Kangaskan, Gurdurr, and Basculin are to pick it off after it is weakened,(AC) while certain Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Silvally are able to can revenge kill Morpeko if it lacks a Speed boost.
