Hangry Morpeko Is Coming To Pokémon GO This Halloween!

Pokémon GO's Halloween event is about to begin, and Niantic has revealed the details for Part 1 (with a Part 2 to follow!). Get ready for thrilling 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 and Hangry Modes mid-battle, altering its Aura Wheel attack type (Electric or Dark), adds exciting strategic depth. Both modes boast a powerful 100 attack power and an Attack boost.

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

A Spooky Celebration!

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

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