Hangry Morpeko Is Coming To Pokémon GO This Halloween!

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

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 ability to switch between Full Belly Mode (Aura Wheel - Electric-type, 100 power, Attack boost) and Hangry Mode (Aura Wheel - Dark-type, 100 power, Attack boost) mid-battle is a thrilling addition.

During the event, encounter rates for Morpeko will be boosted in the GO Battle League's premium track. Post-event, it will be available from Rank 16 upwards, though it will remain more common in premium battles.

A Spooky Pokémon GO Halloween!

The game will feature special Halloween decorations. Fans of the Lavender Town theme will enjoy a remix of the classic music playing nightly throughout the event. Check out this remix:

Dynamax Gastly will appear in one-star Max Battles, alongside Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

A free Timed Research event (October 22nd to November 3rd) focuses on Spiritomb and its 108 spirits. Completing tasks rewards encounters with Halloween Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
