Effect
In battle
This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: Check for other moves/Abilities that can or cannot copy/replace/suppress this Ability. You can discuss this on the talk page. |
At the end of each turn, Hunger Switch switches a Morpeko with the Ability between its Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode. In Full Belly Mode, Aura Wheel is an Electric-type move; in Hangry Mode, it is a Dark-type move.
Entrainment fails if the user has Hunger Switch. Hunger Switch cannot be copied by Trace or traded by Wandering Spirit. If Morpeko's Hunger Switch is negated or replaced, it remains in its current form. If a Pokémon other than Morpeko obtains Hunger Switch with Transform or Imposter, the Pokémon will not change forms.
Hunger Switch does not activate while Morpeko is Terastallized. While Terastallized, Morpeko does not change forms even when switched out.
Outside of battle
Hunger Switch has no effect outside of battle.
