The highly anticipated Halloween Part 2 event in Pokémon GO is renowned for its introduction of costumed creatures, captivating gamers who eagerly await the chance to see if their beloved Pocket Monsters will don Halloween attire. On October 18, 2024, the official Twitter account for the game shared an exciting image hinting at the special costumed Pokémon that will be highlighted during this year’s Halloween festivities.
The announcement featured some beloved classics alongside intriguing new outlines. This article will outline which Pokemon you can expect to see in festive costumes when Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 launches on October 28, 2024.
Which costumed Pokémon are set to be featured in Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 2024?
The preview showcases the silhouettes of six distinct Pokémon in costumes. These include:
- Pikachu with a Witch Hat
- Pumpkaboo for the Spooky Festival
- Piplup dressed for Halloween
- Vulpix in a Spooky Festival costume
- Rowlet sporting a hat
- Froakie with a witch’s hat
Among these, Witch Hat Pikachu made its debut in 2017, Halloween Piplup was introduced in 2021, while both Spooky Festival Vulpix and Pumpkaboo were part of the 2022 celebrations. Additionally, the latter trio was also available during the Halloween event of 2023.
The most captivating are the silhouettes of Rowlet and Froakie, as they are new to the Halloween costumed scene. While Niantic has yet to make an official announcement, recent data mining reports from Pokémon GO suggest that Rowlet and Froakie will indeed receive festive outfits this year.
Furthermore, the leaked data indicates that these Halloween-themed Rowlet and Froakie will also be available in shiny variants during the event. Excitingly, both Pokémon will retain their costumes upon evolving; Rowlet can evolve into Dartrix and Decidueye, and Froakie can evolve into Frogadier and Greninja without shedding their spooky look.
What additional features can you anticipate during Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 2024?
Besides the anticipated debuts of new costumed Pokémon, Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 is rumored to introduce Gigantamax Gengar. This was hinted at by the official Twitter account, which shared a video featuring a floating teapot, cup, boot, and chair, all surrounded by a mysterious purple glow.
The animation showing these items being tossed followed by a spooky face rising from the ground closely resembles Gigantamax Gengar’s G-Max Move, Max Terror, from the main series games. The introduction of Gigantamax Gengar has also been somewhat validated by the same datamine reports that revealed the costumed Rowlet and Froakie.
