Pokémon Pokopia 'Pumpkaboo's Sweet Surprises' event guide

The Pumpkaboo's Sweet Surprises event is Pokémon Pokopia's first Halloween-themed event, offering a range of spooky items for players to obtain. To participate, players must first complete the Bleak Beach questline to learn the Camouflage ability from Zorua. Once equipped, players will be able to complete the event by tricking other Pokémon and earning pumpkin candies.

The event spans from October 17 at 5 a.m. to November 1 at 4:59 a.m., allowing players to time travel if they miss the initial window. Anyone who has rebuilt at least one Pokémon Center can join the event, and Pumpkaboo can be found in the rebuilt Pokémon Center after a brief conversation with it. Pumpkaboo will then offer pumpkin candies in exchange for tricking other Pokémon.

To earn the event currency, players must use the Camouflage skill to disguise Ditto as the object a Pokémon likes. Successful scares will reward players with pumpkin candies, usually between one and three, though the exact number may vary. Players must scare between seven and 20 Pokémon to obtain all 20 pumpkin candies needed for the new habitats. While the specific factors determining the number of rewards are unclear, players can focus on obtaining certain items to make the habitats more efficiently.

Upon completing the event, players will unlock the Trick or Treat photo frame. Additional guides are available to help players navigate the island, build habitats, and progress through the story, as well as multiplayer options for players looking to collaborate.
