Get ready to immerse yourself in the spooky festivities as the Halloween event in Pokémon GO kicks off with Part 1 on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. local time, running through to Monday, October 28th, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. And yes, there's a thrilling Part 2 on the way as well!
What's In Store?
The star of the show this Halloween is none other than Morpeko, making its grand debut in Pokémon GO. This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon brings exciting mechanics to the game, particularly in battles against Team GO Rocket or in the GO Battle League. Morpeko's unique ability to switch between Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode mid-battle, triggered by the Charged Attack it uses, is a spectacle to behold. In Full Belly Mode, Morpeko unleashes the Electric-type Aura Wheel with a powerful 100 power, boosting its Attack. Switch to Hangry Mode, and Aura Wheel transforms into a Dark-type move, yet maintains that 100-power punch and Attack boost.
During the Halloween event, you'll have an increased chance to encounter Morpeko in the premium track of the GO Battle League. Post-event, Morpeko will continue to be available starting at Rank 16, though it will appear more frequently on the premium side.
Happy Halloween In Pokémon GO-Style!
