Nintendo Pokopia is running a Halloween event called “Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises” from 17 October to 1 November. The event adds Pumpkaboo as a limited-time Pokémon visit, where it requests an event currency called Pumpkin Candy in exchange for items. Players use those items to help create or expand new habitats tied to the event.
Both outlets describe the event as following a familiar limited-time-event structure for Pokopia, centered on completing event tasks at a Pokémon Center. A key gameplay twist highlighted in the Nintendo Life coverage is that players must “scare” the event currency out of their resident Pokémon rather than obtaining it directly, which affects how they progress through the event. Polygon also provides an event guide focused on helping players complete the event, including the information needed to make progress during the limited window.
Overall, the reporting agrees on the event’s name, dates, the introduction of Pumpkaboo, and the Pumpkin Candy currency mechanic, while framing the coverage as player-focused guidance rather than additional broader announcements.
