Various Pokémon titles have announced seasonal Halloween events for late 2026. Pokémon Pokopia launched its ‘Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises’ event on October 17, which runs until November 1. Players can use a ‘Camouflage mechanic’ to disguise themselves as favorite items or habitat components to collect ‘Pumpkin Candy’. This candy can be traded at the Pokémon Center for midnight festival-themed furniture and decorations, which can also be used to create habitats to attract and befriend Gourgeist. The developer previously noted that a second expansion focusing on cosmetic accessories is expected by the end of 2026. Pokémon Sleep ~~announced~~ will host a Sleep Day event from October 25 to October 28, offering increased Zzz Power and sleep points, with a peak on the full moon night.

Additional gameplay bonuses include Ghost-type helper Pokémon providing an extra ingredient, a 1.25x increased chance of triggering main skills, and a three-level boost to those skills. ~~Snorlax is also expected to favor Bluk Berries during this period.~~ Pokémon GO will ~~also~~ participate in the seasonal celebrations from October 27 to November 1.
