Pokémon GO’s Halloween 2024 Part I event is running from October 22, at 10:00 a.m. to October 28, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time, and it promises a ghastly good time! Trainers might want to keep a close eye on their Berries during the event—the Two-Sided Pokémon, Morpeko, is making its debut, and it looks hangry! Morpeko can switch between Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode when battling Team GO Rocket or competing in the GO Battle League. In Full Belly Mode, Morpeko knows the Electric-type Charged Attack Aura Wheel, and in Hangry Mode, Morpeko knows the Dark-type Charged Attack Aura Wheel. Starting with this event, Morpeko will be available as a reward encounter in the GO Battle League.

In addition to catching mo’ Morpeko, this year’s Halloween event will feature a Lavender Town–inspired remix playing at nighttime, event-themed Pokémon appearing in the wild, opportunities to participate in Max Battles, and plenty of eerie-sistible research! Trick or treat yourself to event bonuses including an increased chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL for successfully catching Pokémon with Nice Throws or better, double Candy for catching Pokémon, and an increased chance of encountering Shiny Umbreon in raids and Shiny Zorua in the wild.
