All Pokémon Go Halloween 2024 Part One new Pokémon

There are two new Pokémon arriving for the Halloween 2024 Part One event: Morpeko and Dynamax Gastly. Although Dynamax Gastly is not entirely a new Pokémon, it’s a new form. You can find it at Power Spots starting on Oct. 22. Morpeko will be tougher to find.

Morpeko appears as a reward for competing in Pokémon Go‘s Battle League, which you can receive as a reward encounter. This means you’ll need to complete segments of the Battle League, and any Pokémon encounter rewards you receive have a chance to be Morpeko. These are random, so there’s no good way to narrow your chances of getting it. However, anyone who selects the Premium Reward track has a great opportunity to encounter Morpeko, which will continue to be a reward throughout Pokémon Go‘s Max Out season.

There are a handful of event bonuses for all players who jump into Pokémon Go during the Halloween 2024 Part One event. These are available to everyone, regardless if you purchase the premium Timed Research tickets or not.

  • Increased chance for trainers at and above level 31 to receive XL Candy for catching Pokémon with Nice Throws or better
  • Increased chance to find a Shiny Umbreon or a Shiny Zorua in the wild
