Hungry Morpeko Haunts Pokémon GO This Halloween

Pokémon GO's Halloween event is here! Niantic has revealed the details for Part 1 (with a Part 2 to follow!), bringing spooky encounters and exciting features.

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.

What's New?

Morpeko makes its Pokémon GO debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon boasts unique battle mechanics, especially in Team GO Rocket battles and GO Battle League. Its Full Belly and Hangry Modes change its Aura Wheel attack (Electric or Dark-type, respectively), both packing a 100-power punch and Attack boost.

During the event, you'll have increased chances of encountering Morpeko in the GO Battle League's premium track, with continued availability from Rank 16 onwards (though more frequent on the premium track).

Spooky Celebrations!

Get into the Halloween spirit with special in-game decorations! Enjoy 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 for encounters with Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
