Trivia

Origin

This card features Morpeko in its Full Belly Mode. Electric Ball is an attack that first appeared on Eelektrik from Noble Victories. In the illustration of the SWSH Black Star Promo prints numbered SWSH215-SWSH218, Morpeko is using the move Aura Wheel. This card does not have Aura Wheel, but its Burst Wheel attack may be similar. Marnie is featured in the illustration of the SWSH Black Star Promo prints numbered SWSH287-SWSH290, who uses a Morpeko in all games in which she appears as an opponent. These prints also feature the Spikemuth Gym.
