Harvest Festival, Halloween 2023, & More Come To Pokémon GO

Harvest Festival, Halloween 2023, & more have been announced for Pokémon GO along with Spotlight Hours and other event details.

Has Pokémon GO announced an exciting slate of spooky-themed October 2023 events, or is this month a dud? Let's get into the details.

Here are the events coming to Pokémon GO in October 2023:

• September 27th – October 2nd, 2023: Out to Play

The details for this September 2023 event have already been announced. It includes the Shiny release of Hisuian Growlithe.

• October 5th – October 9th, 2023: As-of-yet unannounced event

Without details here, we can't speculate. However, there must be a reason that it has yet to be announced. Maybe it deals with something new from Paldea?

• October 7th – October 8th, 2023: GO Battle Weekend
• October 12th – October 17th, 2023: Harvest Festival

This is the event that has me thinking. This event lines up with Pumpkaboo Spotlight Hour, so I wonder if this will largely be a Pumpkaboo-themed event. We have already had a Shiny release for this gourd-themed Pokémon, but we have not had much of a chance to hunt for Shiny Pumpkaboo since last year's Halloween 2023 event, Part 2.

• October 15th, 2023: As-of-yet unannounced Community Day
• October 21st, 2023: Incense Day
• October 19th – October 26th, 2023: Pokémon GO Halloween 2023 Part 1
• October 26th – October 31st, 2023: Pokémon GO Halloween 2023 Part 2

I'd love Mimikyu for this Halloween 2023… but I don't know if we can hope to be so lucky.

These are the Spotlight Hours and bonuses coming to Pokémon GO in October 2023:

• Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023: Slowpoke with double Candy for transferring
• Tuesday, October 10th, 2023: Shroomish with double XP for evolving, can be Shiny
