Event Highlights:
Morpeko makes its Pokémon GO debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, especially effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League.

During the event, Morpeko encounters will be boosted in the GO Battle League's premium track, and will remain available from Rank 16 onwards, though more frequent on the premium track.
