Hangry Morpeko Is Coming To Pokémon GO This Halloween!

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

The Pokémon GO Halloween 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 effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League. Morpeko's ability to switch between Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode mid-battle, based on its Charged Attack, is a captivating feature. In Full Belly Mode, it uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power move boosting Attack. In Hangry Mode, Aura Wheel becomes a Dark-type move, retaining its 100 power and Attack boost.

During the event, Morpeko will appear more frequently in the GO Battle League's premium track, and later at Rank 16 and beyond (though remaining more common in premium battles).

A Spooktacular Pokémon GO Halloween!

The game will feature special Halloween decorations. Fans of the eerie Lavender Town theme will enjoy a remix of the classic music playing nightly throughout the event.

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

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