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 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 ability to switch between Full Belly Mode (Aura Wheel – Electric-type, 100 power, Attack boost) and Hangry Mode (Aura Wheel – Dark-type, 100 power, Attack boost) mid-battle is a thrilling addition.
During the event, Morpeko will have an increased appearance rate in the GO Battle League's premium track, remaining available from Rank 16 onwards, though more frequent on the premium track.
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. Completion rewards include encounters with Halloween-themed Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
