Morpeko @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Hunger Switch
Tera Type: Dark / Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Aura Wheel
- Knock Off
- Rapid Spin
- Parting Shot

While it may look cute and harmless at first, the Two-Sided Pokemon is a potent threat in PU! Aura Wheel gives Morpeko a powerful STAB option against foes such as Poliwrath and Indeedee-F, and its Speed boost can allow Morpeko to become hard to stop; however, its unreliability means Morpeko enjoys having Knock Off for a more consistent attack into foes such as Farigiraf. Either Tera Dark or Electric can be used, as Hunger Switch no longer changes Aura Wheel's type after Morpeko Terastallizes, giving it an incredibly reliable and spammable STAB move. Against less immediately threatening Pokemon such as Articuno, Morpeko can support its team with Rapid Spin, threatening out spinblockers such as Sableye thanks to its Dark typing. Parting Shot allows Morpeko to gain momentum for its team and get away from problematic matchups such as Gabite. Morpeko struggles with bulky Ground-types, so Pokemon such as Abomasnow and Basculin are naturally good partners; in turn, Morpeko threatens out their common checks such as Cryogonal and Poliwrath. Due to its frailty, Morpeko also enjoys having partners to fall back on when it needs to switch out; defensive tanks such as Weezing and Chansey check Pokemon that threaten Morpeko such as Alolan Dugtrio.

While it may look cute and harmless at first, the Two-Sided Pokemon is a potent threat in PU! Aura Wheel gives Morpeko a powerful STAB option against foes such as Poliwrath and Farigiraf while also allowing Morpeko to gain a Speed boost, allowing it to outpace Pokemon such as Charizard and Basculin. (I think aura wheel's unreliability deserves a mention, with the transition into why it also likes having knock)Against less immediately threatening Pokemon such as Alolan Persian and Articuno, Morpeko can support its team with Rapid Spin, removing hazards for its teammates.(mention the benefit of being a dark mon that can threaten spinblockers) Parting Shot allows Morpeko to escape problematic matchups such as Sandslash and Weezing while also providing a useful stat drop to help its teammates come in easier. (remove this sentence or change it to focus more on overall momentum control and mons that go good with it)Tera Electric is used as when Morpeko terastalizes, Hunger Switch does not change Aura Wheel's type, giving Morpeko an incredibly reliable and spammable STAB move. (move this next to the aura wheel sentence)Morpeko struggles with bulky Ground-types, so Pokemon such as Abomasnow and Basculin are naturally good partners; (these two can also pivot, def deserves a mention)in turn Morpeko threatens out their common checks such as Charizard and Poliwrath.(kinda weird examples, zard outspeeds unboosted peko and poli just tanks it when aura wheel is dark) Due to being frail, Morpeko also enjoys having partners to fall back on when it needs to switch out, so defensive tanks such as Weezing and Chansey also are great partners.

add something about how quickly morpeko can spiral outta control once it starts getting speed boosts
also mention its great but awakward speed tier, being faster than base 95s but slower than swan/basc
I think you took up too much space with move descriptions, readers are expected to know the move's general purpose/function.

While it may look cute and harmless at first, the Two-Sided Pokemon is a potent threat in PU! Aura Wheel gives Morpeko a powerful STAB option against foes such as Poliwrath and Charizard (mention something weak to dark since aura wheel changes typing, also replace zard with something slower than peko) and its speed boost can allow Morpeko to become hard to stop, although its unreliability means Morpeko enjoys having Knock Off for a more consistent attack into foes such as Farigiraf. Either Tera Type Dark or Electric can be used as when Morpeko terastalizes, Hunger Switch does not change Aura Wheel's type, giving Morpeko an incredibly reliable and spammable STAB move. Against less immediately threatening Pokemon such as Articuno, Morpeko can support its team with Rapid Spin, threatening out spinblockers such as Sableye thanks to its Dark-type. (write something about parting shot) Morpeko struggles with bulky Ground-types, so Pokemon such as Abomasnow and Basculin are naturally good partners; in turn Morpeko threatens out their common checks such as Crygonal and Poliwrath. Due to its frailty, Morpeko also enjoys having partners to fall back on when it needs to switch out, so defensive tanks such as Weezing and Chansey also are great partners (what exactly do they check? specifically mention mons that force peko out like duggy).

qc 1/1.
