The Pokémon Company has begun a limited-time Halloween event for Pokémon Pokopia, running from October 17 through November 1.
The Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises event gives players a seasonal objective: collect Pumpkin candy by transforming into objects to trick wild Pokémon, then trade those candies for habitat items used to befriend Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist.
Event details and timing
According to community tracking from Serebii, the Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises event is active beginning at 05:00 local time on October 17 and concludes at 04:59 local time on November 1.
Serebii reported it is currently playing through the event and compiling a comprehensive breakdown of rewards and mechanics for players.
How the event works
Players earn Pumpkin candy by using disguise mechanics to mimic in-world objects and lure Pokémon in nearby towns.
Collected candies serve as currency to acquire habitat items; those habitats, in turn, are required to befriend the event Pokémon Pumpkaboo and its evolution, Gourgeist.
The Pokémon Company’s in-game announcement outlines the timeframe and the primary loop — trick Pokémon, gather Pumpkin candy, exchange for habitats — as the core progression for the event.
