Morpeko has decent Speed and average Attack, and paired with a Choice Band and its powerful STAB Aura Wheel, it becomes a strong wallbreaker. Its Hunger Switch ability changes Aura Wheel's typing from Electric to Dark each turn, allowing Morpeko to hit Electric-resistant Pokemon such as Dragapult and Seismitoad in Hangry Mode and Dark-resistant Pokemon such as Bisharp and Clefable in Full Belly Mode. Aura Wheel also boosts its Speed, making it harder to revenge kill. Crunch is useful when Morpeko needs a Dark-type move and doesn't have to rely on Hunger Switch, such as against Ghost- and Psychic-types like Runerigus and Reuniclus. Seed Bomb hits Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Rhyperior for super effective damage. Psychic Fangs is useful for getting rid of screens and hitting some threats such as Kommo-o and Vileplume. Alternatively, Parting Shot can be used on Pokemon that Morpeko can't OHKO such as Galarian Weezing to lower their offenses and bring in a teammate, or gain momentum on a predicted switch. Morpeko's bulk is terrible, so it should avoid switching in on any attacks. It prefers being brought in on a predicted switch, via Volt Switch, or after a teammate has fainted. It can wallbreak early-game to give its teammates an opportunity to win, or sweep late-game with its powerful Aura Wheel.
