Pokémon Pokopia Announces Halloween Event With Spooky New Items and Habitats

Pokémon Pokopia has revealed what players can expect from its first Halloween-themed event, “Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises.”

The limited-time event will run from 5am on October 17 until November 1, based on your Switch 2 system’s clock. (Looking at you, time travelers.) Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises will follow a similar structure to previous events, featuring new Pokémon, decorations, and habitats, which require players to get their hands on a new currency: candy.

Starting on October 17, players will be able to start the event by talking to the dual-type Pokémon outside of finished Town Centers. Pumpkaboo will have plenty of new spooky items to trade, but he'll ask for some pumpkin candy in exchange.
