Overview

Morelull are nocturnal creatures that spend the day dozing in the shade of trees; they prefer to dwell in permanently-dark woodlands. While resting, they root their mycelium into the soil and passively draw nutrients; they can also attach to the roots of trees to directly drain resources. When night falls, they relocate to new trees in order to avoid draining areas entirely of their nutrients and killing the plants living in them. Morelull can extend their mycelium surprisingly deep into the soil. By connecting them with others of their kind, they can form complex communication networks and send messages to one another from far away. These Pokémon can scatter illuminated, pulsating spores from their caps, which can also glow softly. Watching these spores flicker has a noticeable soporific effect. Eventually, the spores will explode in bright, glittering pulses that other Morelull can interpret as various signals, most commonly one warning of danger. There has been a recorded incident of a pilot in a low-flying plane spooking a troop of Morelull and being subsequently blinded by the intense flashes of light; luckily, no one was hurt. Though discouraged by most safety regulations, nighttime Morelull forest tours are popular amongst some tourists who wish to see their mesmerizing spores. Morelull caps are a popular treat for forest Pokémon; luckily for Morelull, the caps grow back within the day if removed.
