Halloween is here for Pokémon Go, with the first part of its annual event bringing new Pokémon, Timed Research, and more to the game for a limited-time. 

From Oct. 22 to 28, Pokémon Go Halloween 2024 Part 1 will introduce Morpeko to the game for the first time, along with Halloween costumed versions of Greninja and Decidueye. On top of that, Gengar will be appearing in Max Raids—with Gigantamax Gengar joining in the second half of the event that begins on Oct. 28. But that is just the start of what this first part has to offer.

Morpeko Onesie Premium Timed Research: Choose a Path

This decision will impact some of the rewards you will receive, but none of the actual Research tasks you need to complete. 

If you pick the Hangry Mode path, you will get a onesie for your Pokémon Go avatar that resembles the purple and black, Hangry Mode Morpeko can enter. The Full Belly Mode option will just swap that out for a onesie based on the original white, brown, and black design.
