Get ready for a thrilling Halloween celebration in Pokémon GO, as Niantic unveils the exciting details for Part 1 of the event, with Part 2 on the horizon! The festivities are packed with spooky encounters and unique features that will enhance your gaming experience.

The Halloween event in Pokémon GO kicks off on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. local time and will continue until Monday, October 28th, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Here's what you can look forward to:

What’s In Store?

The star of the show is Morpeko, making its much-anticipated debut in Pokémon GO. This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique mechanics, especially when battling Team GO Rocket or in the GO Battle League. Morpeko's ability to switch between Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode mid-battle, triggered by the Charged Attack it uses, adds a dynamic element to your gameplay. In Full Belly Mode, Morpeko can unleash Aura Wheel (Electric), a powerful move with 100 power that boosts the user's Attack. Switch to Hangry Mode, and Aura Wheel transforms into a Dark-type move, maintaining its 100-power punch and Attack boost.

During the Halloween event, your chances of encountering Morpeko increase on the premium track of the GO Battle League. Post-event, Morpeko will remain available starting at Rank 16, though you'll find it more frequently on the premium side.

Pokémon GO is setting the mood with special holiday-themed decorations. If you're a fan of the eerie Lavender Town theme, you'll enjoy a remix of the classic music playing every night during the event. Don't miss out on this hauntingly beautiful Lavender Town video:

Another highlight of the Halloween event is the introduction of Dynamax Gastly in one-star Max Battles. Alongside Gastly, you'll encounter Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble in these battles, adding to the excitement.
