Morelull's niche over Foongus is being a check to Fighting-types and Grookey that isn't weak to Psychic, letting it also check Psychic Fangs Tyrunt and Carvanha. Morelull also offers teams key resistances to Ground- and Dark-type moves. Effect Spore gives Morelull a chance to punish Pokemon using contact moves, such as Flip Turn Carvanha and Mienfoo. Foongus and Ferroseed both wall Morelull and are immune to Spore; Natu can deal with these Pokemon thanks to Magic Bounce and Heat Wave. Morelull is greatly threatened by Poison-types such as Koffing and Mareanie and Fire-types such as Ponyta and Vulpix. Ground-types such as Diglett and Onix and Water-types such as Frillish and Staryu can deal with these Pokemon. In return, they benefit from Morelull dealing with Grookey and Staryu.

Morelull performs a similar role to Foongus as a Grass-type Fighting-type and Grookey check, with better bulk to compensate its lack of Regenerator. Morelull's main draw over Foongus is that it is not weak to Psychic its typing, which gives it useful resistances to Ground and Dark while not making it weak to Psychic. This allows it to check Pokemon such as Carvanha and Tyrunt that could otherwise hit Foongus super effectively with Psychic Fangs while still being able to check Fighting-types and Grookey lacking Acrobatics. Moonblast hits Tyrunt, Mienfoo, and Timburr super effectively, further distinguishing Morelull from Foongus. Strength Sap can be run over Giga Drain to provide Morelull with both reliable recovery and a way of crippling physical attackers in one moveslot. However, Strength Sap heals Natu switch-ins due to Magic Bounce and triggers Pawniard's Defiant, making it a risky option. Honestly, I'd cut this, and say on the Synthesis slot why it's better than Strength Sap, ex. Synthesis gives Morelull reliable recovery, and is better than Strength Sap, which risks healing Natu switch-ins and triggering Pawniard's Defiant. Effect Spore gives Morelull a chance to punish contact moves, such as Carvanha's Flip Turn and Mienfoo's U-turn and Fake Out, with status. (Poison-types, such as Foongus and Koffing, greatly threaten Morelull. Natu can offensively pressure these Pokemon with Psychic. It can also deal with another check to Morelull in Ferroseed thanks to Magic Bounce and Heat Wave.) I'd put Foongus and Ferroseed together as Pokemon that wall Morelull and are immune to Spore, and Natu can check both with Magic Bounce and offensively pressure them with Psychic and Heat Wave. Morelull is also shut down threatened by Fire-types. Flash Fire Ponyta, bulky Water-types such as Frillish and Mareanie, and trappers such as Diglett can account for this shortcoming. Morelull is greatly threatened by Poison-types, like Koffing and Mareanie, and Fire-types like Ponyta and Vulpix. Ground-types like Diglett or Onix or Water-types like Frillish or Staryu help deal with them. In return, Morelull covers opposing Grookey and Staryu. (or something like that) This is only a suggestion, but I felt you could combine those two points. I cut Mareanie because it doesn't make as much sense on a Morelull team.

implemented a few bits of that, thanks. I don't think you need to worry about IVs in future because PS's teambuilder sets them to 0 automatically if the Pokemon isn't carrying any physical attacks.

GP 1/1. [DC, 449990] Be careful of excessive comma usage, as it disrupts the flow of the sentences.
