Hangry Morpeko Is Coming To Pokémon GO This Halloween!

Get ready for spooky fun in Pokémon GO! Niantic has revealed the details for Part 1 of their Halloween event, with a Part 2 to follow. Prepare for exciting features and chilling 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. local time.

What Spooky Surprises Await?

Morpeko, the Electric/Dark-type Pokémon, makes its Pokémon GO debut! This mischievous Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, especially useful against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko's Full Belly Mode uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power attack boosting its Attack. Switch to Hangry Mode, and Aura Wheel becomes a Dark-type move, retaining its power and Attack boost.

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

A Spooktacular Celebration!

Pokémon GO will be decked out in Halloween decorations. Enjoy a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme music playing nightly throughout the event.

Dynamax Gastly joins the fray in one-star Max Battles, alongside Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

A free Timed Research event, focusing on Spiritomb and its 108 spirits, runs from October 22nd to November 3rd. Complete tasks to encounter Halloween-themed Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
