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 a Part 2 to follow!). Get ready for exciting features and spooky Pokémon encounters.

The event starts 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 useful against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko switches 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 depending on its Charged Attack.

During the event, you'll have increased chances of encountering Morpeko in GO Battle League's premium track. After the event, it will appear from Rank 16 onwards, but will remain more common in premium battles.

A Spooky Celebration!

Enjoy special Halloween decorations and a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme music playing nightly throughout the event. Check out this remix:

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

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