Pokémon GO's Halloween event, Part 1, is almost here! Niantic has revealed the spooky details, and there's even a Part 2 to look forward to. Get ready for exciting features and chilling 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.

What's Haunting Pokémon GO?

Morpeko makes its debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, especially useful against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko switches between Full Belly Mode (Aura Wheel - Electric, 100 power, Attack boost) and Hangry Mode (Aura Wheel - Dark, 100 power, Attack boost) mid-battle depending on the Charged Attack used.

During the event, you'll have increased chances of encountering Morpeko in GO Battle League's premium track. After the event, it will be available from Rank 16, though more frequent on the premium track.

A Spooky Celebration!

Pokémon GO is decked out in Halloween décor, and a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme plays nightly. Enjoy the eerie atmosphere!

Dynamax Gastly appears in one-star Max Battles, alongside Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

A free Timed Research focusing on Spiritomb and its 108 spirits runs from October 22nd to November 3rd, rewarding you with encounters featuring Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
