Hangry Morpeko Is Coming To Pokémon GO This Halloween!

Pokémon GO's Halloween festivities are about to begin! Niantic has unveiled the details for Part 1 of the event (with a Part 2 to follow!), promising exciting features and spooky Pokémon encounters.

The event runs from Tuesday, October 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. local time, 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 attack, 100 power, Attack boost) and Hangry Mode (Aura Wheel Dark-type attack, 100 power, Attack boost) mid-battle adds a thrilling element.

During the event, Morpeko will appear more frequently in the GO Battle League's premium track, and afterward will be available from Rank 16 onwards (though still more common in the premium track).

A Spooktacular Atmosphere:

Get ready for a festive Halloween atmosphere with special in-game decorations. Fans of the Lavender Town theme will enjoy a remix of the classic music playing nightly throughout the event.

Dynamax Gastly makes its appearance in one-star Max Battles, alongside Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

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