The Halloween event is an annual highlight on the calendar and this year’s edition has lots of fine content in store, such as the debut of Morpeko, the introduction of Aura Wheel as a move, Shiny Umbreon and Zorua getting boosted spawn rates, and a double Candy Catch bonus. Naturally, a series of Timed and Field Research Tasks complete the line-up.

Find all Pokémon Go Halloween 2024 Part 1 Research Tasks and their rewards below.
