Pokémon GO's Halloween event is launching soon, and Niantic has revealed the details for Part 1 (with a Part 2 to follow!). Get ready for exciting 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, especially effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko's Full Belly and Hangry Modes change its Aura Wheel attack type (Electric or Dark) mid-battle, while boosting its Attack stat in both modes.
During the event, you'll have increased chances of encountering Morpeko in GO Battle League's premium track. After the event, it will remain available from Rank 16 onwards, though it will still be more common in premium battles.
A Spooky Atmosphere:
Enjoy special Halloween decorations and a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme music playing nightly throughout the event.
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. Complete tasks to encounter Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
