Hangry Morpeko Haunts Pokémon GO for Halloween!

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

The event begins Tuesday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. local time, and runs until Monday, October 28th, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.

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 Full Belly Mode uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power move boosting Attack. In Hangry Mode, Aura Wheel becomes Dark-type, retaining its power and Attack boost.

During the event, you'll have increased chances of encountering Morpeko in GO Battle League's premium track, with continued availability 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. Complete tasks for encounters with Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
