Morpeko (Japanese: モルペコ Morpeko) is a wild Pokémon that follows Team Rocket during Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

History

Morpeko debuted in both of its modes in Sobbing Sobble!, where it stole Team Rocket's food and fled while they were in the Galar region. It later encountered Team Rocket again and sent them blasting off with Aura Wheel.

In JN033, it seemed to follow them back to their secret hideout. There, it ate every food that Team Rocket had been stockpiling for months, forcing them to starve. Later, Morpeko was seen eating some of the food left by Koromi while trying to capture a Pinsir.

In JN041, Morpeko showed up in Team Rocket's hideout, listening in on the conversation between Jessie, James, and Wobbuffet.

In JN047, Team Rocket enters Morpeko in the Vermilion City Pokémon Eating Contest, where it becomes rival to Goh's Skwovet. Thanks to the cheats of Team Rocket, Morpeko manages to reach the finals, but loses when it is completely satisfied and angry after Jesse, James and Meowth force him to eat, Morpeko then uses Aura Wheel to make Team Rocket blasting off. Then Skwovet evolves to Greedent thus managing to pass Morpeko's position in the last part of the competition.

Personality and characteristics

Morpeko is a greedy Pokémon that has caused trouble for Team Rocket multiple times with its raids on their food supply. If it is refused the food that it craves, it changes from its Full Belly Mode to its Hangry Mode, becoming aggressive and more voracious.

In Hangry Mode, Morpeko is quite violent, both with Team Rocket as well as with Pokémon from other trainers. Immediately upon reverting to Full Belly Mode, Morpeko is shown to be somewhat docile, especially after having a particularly satisfying meal. However, it still has a short temper, and will lash out at anything that bothers it.
