Pokémon GO's Halloween festivities are about to begin, with Niantic unveiling details for Part 1 of the event (a Part 2 is also planned!). Get ready for exciting features and spooky Pokémon encounters.

The event runs from Tuesday, October 22nd, 10:00 a.m. local time, to 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. Its Full Belly Mode uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power move boosting Attack, while Hangry Mode uses a Dark-type Aura Wheel with the same power and Attack boost.

During the event, Morpeko encounters are boosted in the GO Battle League's premium track, remaining available at Rank 16 and above afterward, though more frequent in the premium track.

The Halloween spirit is enhanced with special in-game decorations. Fans of the Lavender Town theme will enjoy a remix of the classic music playing nightly throughout the event.
