Pokémon Pokopia ‘Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises’ event guide
Pokémon Pokopia’s first Halloween event, “Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises”, lets players earn seasonal furnishings by startling Pokémon with disguises. It adds Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist as friends and gives players a way to decorate each region with spooky items.
The event runs from 17 October at 5am until 1 November at 4.59am, according to the Nintendo Switch’s console clock. Players need to have rebuilt one Pokémon Center and learned Camouflage from Zorua; disguises must match what nearby Pokémon like, and each Pokémon can be startled only once. The nine furnishings cost 20 pumpkin candies in total, with one to three candies awarded per Pokémon according to the guide, and buying every item unlocks a “Trick or Treat” photo frame.
