What's in Store?
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 highlight. Full Belly Mode uses Aura Wheel (Electric), a 100-power move boosting Attack. Hangry Mode uses a Dark-type Aura Wheel, retaining the 100-power and Attack boost.
During the event, Morpeko will have an increased appearance rate in the GO Battle League's premium track. Post-event, it will remain available from Rank 16 onwards, though it will still be more common in premium battles.
A Spooktacular Pokémon GO Halloween!
The event features special Halloween decorations and a remix of the classic Lavender Town theme music playing nightly. Enjoy this eerie atmosphere!
