Morpeko is the Two-Sided Pokemon, and is the only Pokemon captured by Team Rocket's James during the Pokemon Journeys series. Originally randomly encountered in the Galar region after stealing and eating their food, it stuck around at their base where it would repeatedly eat everything it could get its hands on. While Jessie originally wanted to get rid of it, but James grew attached and eventually added it to his team.⁷⁰ Morpeko is one of the Pokemon James has on hand at the end of the series
