Morgrem sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Impidimp but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Grimmsnarl as fast as possible. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets. Part of the Gen 8 roster.
Nothing fancy in Morgrem's spread. It leans mixed with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 2 Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Morgrem prefers dirty tactics, like ambushing, because it doesn’t have confidence in its brawn.
This Pokémon absorbs negative emotions and turns them into energy. It’s popular with people who tend to think gloomy thoughts.
Morgrem Weakness
GoodMorgrem is weak to Poison, Steel, and Fairy-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Psychic and Dragon-type moves entirely.
Morgrem sits between Impidimp and Grimmsnarl in this three-stage line. Not the final form yet. For breeding, average hatch time with plenty of partners via two egg groups. HP has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 140 stats to gain in the final evolution.
How to Evolve
Breed with Morgrem to get Impidimp eggs using 66 partners from the Fairy and Humanshape egg groups.
Still unevolved, still relevant. Morgrem's Eviolite bulk with a spread EV build EVs creates a defensive profile that punches above its stage. Prankster adds passive value. Parting Shot gives it offensive presence.

Most of Morgrem's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Foul Play and Play Rough, but Normal and Fire and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

At 370 BST, Morgrem is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Grimmsnarl before bringing it to any serious fight.
Impidimp evolves into Morgrem at level 32. Morgrem evolves into Grimmsnarl at level 42. Morgrem is a middle-stage evolution in the Impidimp line.
Morgrem gets Prankster, Frisk, and Pickpocket. But Prankster is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Morgrem is leaning toward the special side (base 75 Sp. Atk). Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 70 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many.
Morgrem can be found in Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield.
Since Sword & Shield, Morgrem has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 8 debut means a shorter history, but Morgrem has appeared steadily across every generation since.
