You’ll find pumpkins aplenty in Pokémon
UNITE with the arrival of Aeos Island’s Halloween celebration. From October
20, 2021, to November 10, 2021, the game will feature all sorts of tricks
and treats, including a fun new take on Mer Stadium battles, special bonuses
that earn you pumpkins, and festive new ways to deck out your Trainer and your
Pokémon. And don’t be surprised if the game looks a little spookier than usual,
too!
You’ll certainly notice a big change when you play a quick battle
in Mer Stadium. Now during a match, the battle item button controls your
Pumpkin Toss. Tap this button, and you’ll lob a pumpkin that covers the
opposing Pokémon for a short time. Just be aware that you can hit your
teammates as well, and they can do the same to you, so be ready to dodge
incoming produce!
While a Pokémon is covered with a pumpkin, it’s unable to
score points and it moves by bouncing,
which increases its speed. Although pumpkined Pokémon can’t use their normal
moves, they do have access to a special move called Pumpkin Tackle. This dash can be used to smack into opposing Pokémon
and push them aside, as well as flee from trouble.
If that doesn’t get you pumped, participating in Mer
Stadium’s festive battles can also earn you collectible pumpkins that can be
exchanged for limited-time Halloween items. Mer Stadium will be decked out for
Halloween only until November 7, so play as many matches as you can
before then.
There are also other ways to earn pumpkins. From October
20 to November 7, there’ll be daily log-in bonuses, and from October 29
to November 2, you’ll be able to complete daily missions to collect even
more. These pumpkins can be used in the Pumpkin Exchange to get items such as Battle Point boost cards,
a Greedent Unite license, a Halloween background, a Halloween hat, and more.
There will also be Halloween-themed items available in the shop.
Look for spooky fashion items to dress your Trainer in—plus limited-time
Pokémon Holowear, including Costume Party Style: Lucario and Costume Party
Style: Zeraora.
The Pumpkin Exchange and Halloween shop items will be around
only until November 10, so don’t wait to scare up some style.
There’s certainly a lot of to do in Pokémon UNITE this
Halloween season, so go grab those gourds! For more details, please visit
