Pokémon Pokopia Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises Event Now Live
A new seasonal event has begun in Pokémon Pokopia, giving players the opportunity to collect special candy, create new Pokémon habitats and befriend Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist.
Called Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises, the event runs from October 17 to November 1, 2026, in-game. Players can collect Pumpkin Candy by transforming into different objects and tricking Pokémon in their towns.
How to Collect Pumpkin Candy
During the event, players can transform into various objects to surprise and trick Pokémon around their towns. Doing so allows them to gather Pumpkin Candy, the special event currency used to obtain limited-time items.
The event encourages players to explore their towns and interact with Pokémon in a different way while collecting candy throughout the event period.
Befriend Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist
Pumpkin Candy can be exchanged for items used to create special habitats for Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist, giving players the chance to attract and befriend the two Ghost-type Pokémon.
Pumpkaboo is known for its pumpkin-like appearance, making it a fitting featured Pokémon for an October event. Its evolution, Gourgeist, also follows the seasonal theme.
Players interested in adding these Pokémon to their towns will want to collect enough Pumpkin Candy to obtain the required habitat items before the event ends.
