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.
Event Highlights:
Morpeko makes its Pokémon GO debut! This Electric/Dark-type Pokémon introduces unique battle mechanics, particularly effective against Team GO Rocket and in GO Battle League.

During the event, Morpeko will have increased encounter rates in the GO Battle League's premium track, remaining available from Rank 16 onwards (though more frequent in the premium track).
Festive Atmosphere:
Enjoy special Halloween decorations and a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme music playing nightly throughout the event.
Dynamax Gastly appears 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. Completing tasks rewards encounters with Halloween-themed Pokémon, including Spiritomb and Morpeko.
