Pokémon Go Halloween 2023: All Eerie Echos, Spiritomb, and Timed Research tasks and rewards

The end of spooky season is here as the Pokémon Go Halloween 2023 Part Two event runs from Oct. 26 to 31. A lot of the content from the first part will carry over to the final event of October, including the Eerie Echoes Timed Research and Spiritomb Limited Research . 

Combined, the two parts of this event have added new Pokémon like Greavard to the game along with things like Shadow Lugia raids and more. To help you take advantage of all of this content, we have a guide to every piece of Timed, Field, and paid Research in the Halloween 2023 event—including all of the event bonuses.

How to get Hatenna in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?

Hatenna in Pokemon GO makes its debut on September 18, 2024, as part of the annual Psychic Spectacular event. It is the Calm Pokemon and originates in the Galar region of the Sword and Shield games. The Pocket Monster evolves into Hattrem and subsequently into Hatterene. The first two stages of the Hatenna line are mono Psychic-types, while the final stage takes on a secondary Fairy typing.

This article covers everything you need to know about getting your hands on Hatenna in Pokemon GO.

How to get Hatenna in Pokemon GO

You can get Hatenna in Pokemon GO in the following ways as of September 2024:

Check out the current Pokemon GO raid bosses that you can encounter in-game

Wild encounters

Egg hatches, field research task encounters.

Also read: Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular 2024 shiny odds

Much like Dreepy in the GO Out event , Hatenna can be encountered in the wild during the Psychic Spectacular event, but only as a rare spawn. This means only lucky trainers would encounter it. Another way of putting it is that this critter won't be abundantly available in the wild, and you might need to spend a lot of time hunting it.

Items like Incenses and Lure Modules can make it easier to find Hatenna spawns in the wild, but the task will not be a walk in the park. In the wild, this creature can have a maximum of 974 CP.

Related: Dynamax made its debut in September 2024. Check out our guides on the different mechanics involved:

• Power Spots: Everything you need to know
• How to get Max Particles in Pokemon GO
• Max Moves: Everything you need to know
• Max Battles: Everything you need to know
• What is the Dynamax Band in Pokemon GO?

A more reliable way to get Hatenna in Pokemon GO is to hatch it from 7 km Eggs. Opening gifts from your friends during the Psychic Spectacular event is the only way to collect these Eggs. So if you want to hatch one of these creatures, get ready to walk around a lot.

In this way, you will get a Hatenna that is at level 25 and between 451 and 492 CP .

The most reliable means of getting your hands on Hatenna in Niantic's mobile game is from Field Research task encounters during the Psychic Spectacular event.

Spin PokeStops to collect the specific task that rewards this critter. It will be at level 15 and between 338 and 369 CP , depending on its IVs.

Can Hatenna be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Hatenna in Pokemon GO cannot be shiny upon release. Players must wait for the differently-colored variant to be released in the AR-based game during a later event.

FAQ about Hatenna in Pokemon GO

How to evolve Hatenna into Hattrem and Hatterene in Pokemon GO

Hatenna evolves into Hattem when fed 25 Candy, which evolves into Hatterene when fed 100 Candy.

What attacks does Hatenna know in Pokemon GO?

Hatenna can use Confusion and Charm as its Fast Attacks and Psyshock, Psychic, and Dazzling Gleam as its Charged Attacks .

Is Hatenna good in Pokemon GO?

Hatenna is only the base form of its evolutionary line. Its final form, Hatterene, has the potential to be a strong attacker in the game.

Halloween 2024 Event Speculation

Trainers, it’s almost the most spooky time of the year, Halloween is coming! As a huge fan of Halloween, and the Halloween events in Pokémon GO, I’m back for my yearly wild speculation article about what we hope to see happen in game this year.

Remember, this is wild speculation, and lots of me keeping my fingers crossed. Nothing here is official!

Pokémon Debuts

With a renewed focus on the Galar region for the Max Out season , any Pokémon debuts seem likely to come from Galar. Here are my top picks to potentially debut:

Nickit and Thievul are Dark types. Sinistea and Polteageist are Ghost types, and the Impdimp family are Fairy and Dark types. Typically I’d opt for a Ghost type, but the other main Ghost types for Galar are the Dreepy family, who are already in game.

Nickit and Thievul are based on the classic urban fox of the UK, that steals from our rubbish bins and lives in suburban areas because we’ve destroyed their habitats. They are considered pests in the UK, and a nuisance, hence the Dark typing, even though it is our fault they live among us and have to scavenge. They are more common Pokémon from Sword and Shield, so they wouldn’t be releasing a big hitter with these two.

Sinistea is the ideal Pokémon to release IMO. A haunted tea cup, created when a lonely spirit has possessed a forgotten cup of cold tea. Is there anything more quintessentially British than that?! As a nation of tea lovers, the only things Brits love more than tea, is forgetting to drink said tea, then cursing themselves when they accidentally take a swig of freezing cold tea when they do remember it. Sinistea has two different forms, Phony Form, and Authentic Form, and in the main series games they require two different items to evolve. Phony Form needs a Cracked Pot to evolve, whereas Authentic Form needs a Chipped Pot. A Phony Form Sinistea doesn’t have a stamp of authenticity on their base, whereas the Authentic form does, and the Authentic Form is much rare.

Sinistea would undoubtedly be the most fun release for a new Halloween themed Pokémon, and it would give us all a very rare form to hunt if both versions are released right away!

Finally, the other Dark types of the generation, the Impidimp family. Impidimp is known as the Wily Pokémon, Morgrem the Devious Pokémon, and Grimmsnarl the Bulk Up Pokémon. Grimmsnarl also has a Gigantamax form. The family is found in the beautiful Glimwood Tangle in SwSh, and was one of the Pokémon teased in a 24 hour livestream before the games release. The family are currently the only Dark and Fairy type Pokémon, making them truly unique! With appearances based on imps and goblins, Impidimp could be the perfect little creep to add to GO for Halloween, giving us something totally different to hunt for.

Now, I will give one brief mention for Mimikyu, because it feels like we have been crying out for Mimikyu for years now. With the focus on Galar for this season, Mimikyu feels further away than ever, and sadly I don’t think it is likely we’ll see them this October either.

Costume Pokémon

Is it Halloween without new Costume Pokémon in GO? Absolutely not! In previous years some of the Costumed Pokémon we’ve had added to the game have been based on the Pokémon Centre’s Halloween plushies, so let’s take a look at them.

First up, Fuecoco. Fuecoco has a little top hat, and a Pumpkin costume, but I don’t think we’ll actually get this particular costume Pokémon in 2024. Why? Because typically costume Pokémon can be shiny, and we are a long way off getting shiny Fuecoco. It’s a shame because it is adorable, but it doesn’t seem likely!

Now a new costume Pikachu almost feels like a given at this point, and this Pikachu is particularly cute! The cape, bow and witches hat would be easily do-able as a costume in Pokémon GO, and those who love costume Pikachu would absolutely go feral for this particular iteration. (it’s me, I would go feral for it. Gimme the shiny please).

Another potential that feels like it could happen because the shiny is released, is this hilarious witch inspired Froakie! Frogs are a common familiar for witches, so a Froakie dressed as a witch is adorable as a theme. We’ve not had a costume Froakie before, so it could be a fun new addition to the costume roster!

And finally, another First Partner Pokémon that has shiny potential, a little spooky Rowlet! It dons a bow and a cobweb hat, and given that we’ve seen another owl Pokémon wear hats in the past with Hoothoot, why couldn’t Rowlet get a Halloween costume too?

Both the Froakie and Rowlet could be amazing new additions as costume Pokémon, giving costume Pokémon fans something brand new to hunt for. Fingers crossed we get one of them!

Shiny Pokémon

Now, this is where I am a little skeptical. I’m not sure we will get a new shiny this Halloween, because quite honestly, we are quickly running out of shinies left to release in Pokémon GO!

If Nickit was to debut, I can see it getting an immediate shiny release, because it a more ‘common spawn’ type of Pokémon, so isn’t likely to be the star of any other type of event. Nickit and Thievul have really incredible shiny forms, here is what they look like in Pokémon HOME:

As the season is focusing on Galar, a non-Galar shiny release seems less likely, if we get any shiny release at all. However, I will throw out speculation that I think shiny Sandygast could potentially be released! Sandygast and Palossand are an excellent shiny family, taking inspiration from the black sand beaches found Hawaiʻi, the inspiration for the Alola region.

Dynamax Pokémon

One of the other things we are seeing with events this season, is the release of a Dynamax Pokémon.

I think the obvious choice is Gastly! It is a classic Ghost type, and with the Kanto starters being some of the first Dynamax Pokémon, Gastly would be a great option for Halloween. Gengar does have a Gigantamax form, which is different to a Dynamax form, changing appearance and getting a special G-Max Move. I think Dynamax Gastly is more likely than Gigantamax Gengar, as we seem to be having a focus on D-Max rather than any special G-Max Pokémon to begin with. On the slim chance we get G-Max Gengar, here is what it looks like:

So, what do you hope to see in the annual Halloween event? My ultimate hopes are for Sinistea, the costume Pokémon (excluding Fuecoco), Dynamax Gastly, and Sandygast.

Pokemon GO Adding New Pokemon in Upcoming Event

New pokemon go change could get players banned for playing too much, pokemon go player realizes they have super valuable pokemon 5 years after catching them, key takeaways.

• Pokemon GO's next Research Day on September 22 will feature Oranguru and Passimian with boosted Shiny rates.
• Paid Timed Research will offer the same Shiny encounter rate as Field Research for $2.
• Field Research tasks grant Oranguru and Passimian encounters and rewards, along with boosted wild appearances.

Niantic announced that the next Pokemon GO Research Day event will begin on September 22 with Normal/Psychic-type Oranguru and Fighting-type Passimian as the featured Pokemon. Like previously held Timed Research events, Pokemon GO players may complete Field Research tasks to earn free rewards and additional encounters that could yield a Shiny Pokemon.

September 10 marked the debut of Dynamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO during the game's latest season, aptly titled "Max Out." Themed around the Galar region's Pokemon and the Dynamax form, Pokemon GO's Max Out season will bring several limited-time events through December 3, including more Community Day events and the new Psychic Spectacular event. One of the first Research Day events for the Max Out season will focus on monkey and primate Pokemon from past events.

Pokemon GO announces the addition of new critters in an upcoming event, and details the other bonuses that will be available to players.

The Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian event will be held on Sunday, September 22, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During the event, players may receive new Field Research tasks from spinning Photo Discs at PokeStops in Pokemon GO . Completing these tasks will grant players encounters with Oranguru and Passimian. If they're lucky, players may also encounter a Shiny Passimian in Pokemon GO for the very first time. In the wild, players will also encounter Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey more often than usual. The boosted encounter rate for these Pokemon will mean that the chances of encountering a Shiny variant is slightly higher as well.

Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian Event Details

• Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time
• Field Research tasks grant additional encounters with Oranguru and Passimian, along with other rewards.
• Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey appear in the wild more often.
• $2 paid Timed Research offers more Oranguru and Passimian encounters.

What's more, event-exclusive paid Timed Research will be available for $2 in the Pokemon GO in-game shop with additional rewards and encounters. According to Niantic, the paid Timed Research offers the exact same Shiny encounter rate for Oranguru and Passimian as the Field Research, and the tasks and their respective rewards must be claimed by 5:00 PM local time on September 22.

Players may also purchase the Oranguru and Passimian Timed Research and give it to friends with a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher, thanks to Pokemon GO's gift system . It's worth noting that these purchases are non-refundable, and the gift tickets cannot be purchased with PokeCoins.

Many more events are on the way, with one of the next being the Pokemon GO Ponyta Community Day event on September 14. Like the new Research Day event, players may benefit from a boosted encounter rate that could produce a Shiny Ponyta for lucky Pokemon GO players. Several Pokemon will also make their Pokemon GO debut throughout the course of the Max Out season.
