Beware Trainers: Hangry Morpeko Arrives for Halloween

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

The event runs from Tuesday, October 22nd, at 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 introduces unique battle mechanics, especially effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko's Full Belly and Hangry Modes change its Aura Wheel attack type (Electric or Dark) mid-battle, while boosting Attack in either mode.

During the event, Morpeko will have increased appearance rates in the GO Battle League's premium track, and will be available from Rank 16 onwards (though more frequent in premium battles).

A Spooktacular Halloween!

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, focused on Spiritomb and its 108 spirits, runs from October 22nd to November 3rd. Complete tasks to encounter Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
