Pokémon GO's Halloween festivities are about to begin, and Niantic has unveiled the details for Part 1 of the event (with a Part 2 to follow!). Get ready for thrilling features and spooky Pokémon encounters.
The event runs from Tuesday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. local time, until Monday, October 28th, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Event Highlights:
Morpeko makes its Pokémon GO debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, particularly effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko's Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode dynamically shift its Aura Wheel attack type (Electric or Dark) mid-battle, while maintaining its potent 100 power and Attack boost.
During the event, Morpeko encounters are boosted in the GO Battle League's premium track, and will remain available from Rank 16 onwards (though more frequent on the premium track).
Enjoy a special Halloween atmosphere with holiday-themed decorations and a remix of the classic Lavender Town music playing nightly.
Dynamax Gastly appears in one-star Max Battles, alongside Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.
A free Timed Research event, focusing on Spiritomb and its 108 spirits, runs from October 22nd to November 3rd. Completing tasks rewards encounters with Halloween-themed Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
