What you need to know about the Pokémon UNITE Halloween festival

For those wondering, the Halloween event isn’t all too far in the future, as you’ll be able to participate starting tomorrow, October 20 at 3AM ET. The fun doesn’t end as Halloween finishes either, because Pokémon UNITE will be keeping the event alive until November 7, giving you ample time to secure your skins and clothing.

What exactly are we getting?

First and foremost we’re getting a brand new Pokémon to join the fun in UNITE, which is the generation 8 Pokémon Greedent. His arrival was already leaked in the code found by dataminers earlier, where other Pokémon such as Nickit and Decidueye were also found. We might be seeing them in the future too.

There’s also new clothing for your trainer avatar which will be Halloween themed, which include stuff like a candy bag, various new profile stickers and a Pikachu pumpkin Halloween mask. You’ll be able to secure these by participating in the event.

Finally we’re also getting some new Holowear for some Pokémon. As it’s Halloween, your Pokémon will be dressing up, so we’re seeing some elaborate costumes for certain Pokémon. These include a Blastoise dressed as firefighter, a bandit Lucario, a space-themed Eldegoss and much more to be revealed still.
