We’re well into the fall season now, and you know what that means: Pokemon GO’s Halloween Mischief event is almost back. Not the first thing that comes to mind this time of year, eh? How dare you. Pikachu has a cute little purple hat for the occasion and everything.
Well, for those of you not in the know, Halloween Mischief is an annual two-part event in Pokemon GO that begins on Oct. 15 and runs until the end of the month. Creepy Companions, the first part, runs until Oct. 22 and introduces a brand new Pokemon to the game: Galarian Slowking.
With Halloween creeping up, the #PokemonGOHalloween celebrations will soon begin! 🎃

Then also on Oct. 22, the second part of Halloween Mischief, called Ghoulish Pals, will begin. It will introduce a new size-altering mechanic and a new Pokemon type called Pumpkaboo. The bigger the Pumpkaboo is, the more likely it is to evolve into a big Gourgeist. So really, you’re getting two new Pokemon species in Ghoulish Pals!
Of course, with every holiday-themed event in Pokemon GO, there’ll be new avatar items available via the in-game shop.
The cosmetics for Halloween Mischief are:
- Pumpkaboo Top
- Pikachu Pumpkin Head
- Hoopa Headband
- Pumpkaboo Pants
- Halloween Face Sticker
That Pikachu Pumpkin Head item straddles the line between adorable and terrifying, doesn’t it?
