Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change Morpeko’s form between Full Belly and Hangry Mode?
Morpeko can only change forms when battling Team GO Rocket or in the GO Battle League. Use its Charged Attack Aura Wheel during these battles to trigger the transformation between its cute Full Belly form and aggressive Hangry Mode.
Can I get Shiny Morpeko without buying the premium research?
Absolutely! While the $4.99 research increases your chances, you can encounter Shiny Morpeko through free methods including Field Research tasks from PokeStops, daily snapshot photobombs (one per day), the GO Battle League, and the Charged Cuties Collection Challenge. Your odds are lower, but dedicated free-to-play trainers can still catch this electric cutie.
