Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Morgrem is the Devious Pokémon — Dark and Fairy middle stage between Impidimp and Grimmsnarl. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Grimmsnarl — not a finished raid attacker. Dark/Fairy hits Ghost, Dragon, and Fighting well; Poison, Steel, and Fairy punish it. Evolve Impidimp up the line.

Morgrem (#860) is a Dark / Fairy Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Impidimp. Trainers almost never power Morgrem for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Grimmsnarl.
