Niantic is ramping up excitement for Pokémon Go’s 2024 Halloween festivities, with teasers suggesting a big surprise in store. As Part 1 of the event is set to begin on October 22, 2024, fans are buzzing about the mysterious content hinted at for Part 2 — which could potentially include the highly anticipated debut of Mega Mewtwo.
Halloween Event Part 1 Details: Morpeko’s Debut
The Halloween Part 1 event will last from October 22 to October 28, 2024, and promises to bring spooky fun with the introduction of new Pokémon, including Morpeko. This marks Morpeko’s debut in Pokémon Go, exciting players who are looking forward to the expanded Halloween lineup.
The Teaser for Halloween Part 2
The true mystery lies in what’s to come during Part 2 of the event, which has yet to be fully unveiled. Niantic has teased fans on social media, particularly on the official Pokémon Go X account, with a cryptic image filled with silhouettes of various Pokémon, similar to past event teasers.
Among the visible species are Pikachu in a Witch Hat, Vulpix sporting a neck scarf, Pumpkaboo and Piplup with hats, and several more. But fans have noted there might be something even bigger lurking in the teaser.
Mega Mewtwo Speculation
Some of Pokémon Go’s most dedicated fans believe the teaser might be hiding something massive. One player noted a peculiar shape in the background of the image that stands out against the other recognizable Pokémon — a shadowy figure nestled in the top right corner, behind the branches of a tree.
At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss the shape as just a branch, but players are speculating that it may be the outline of Mewtwo. Specifically, many believe this could be a teaser for Mega Mewtwo, one of the most anticipated Mega Evolutions that has yet to debut in Pokémon Go.
In the comments, one fan boldly stated, “It’s Mega Mewtwo… You can see his tail,” drawing attention to the curved silhouette that doesn’t quite match the rest of the branches.
Mega Mewtwo X and Y Still Missing
Mega Evolutions have been a big feature in Pokémon Go since their introduction, but Mega Mewtwo X and Y remain noticeably absent. Given Mewtwo’s status as a fan-favorite Kanto Legendary, many believe that Niantic could be saving the best for last, with the Mega Evolution forms making a dramatic debut during the Halloween event. If the teaser does indeed hint at Mega Mewtwo, it could be one of the most significant additions to the game this year.
Player Reactions and Final Thoughts
While some players are skeptical of the speculation, dismissing the shadow as merely part of the background, others are more optimistic. The idea of Mega Mewtwo appearing has generated a flurry of excitement in the comments of the teaser. For now, fans will have to wait for Niantic’s official announcement of Part 2’s lineup to see if their theories hold any truth.
Regardless of the outcome, Pokémon Go’s 2024 Halloween event is shaping up to be an unforgettable one, and fans are eager to see if Mega Mewtwo will indeed make its long-awaited debut.
