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.

Step 2 of 3:

Choose between the Full Belly Mode Path and the Hangry Mode Path. The Tasks and most of the rewards will be the same for both paths, though the avatar costume you get at the end differs – the onesie you get from the Full Belly Mode Path is colored like a regular Morpeko, while the suit from Hangry Mode Path is dominantly purple, so choose according to your preference.

The onesies up for grabs are inspired by these two forms of Morpeko. / Niantic
