Pokémon GO Halloween 2023 speculations, could Mimikyu finally debut, Greavard appear, and 4x catch XP and Stardust bonuses return?

Trainers, Halloween is one of the most anticipated events in Pokémon Go each year. As the days grow shorter and the nights creep in, it’s time to start thinking about what we might expect in October 2023. For now, it’s all speculation, but oh boy, is it getting exciting.
Since its launch, Halloween has been a seasonal staple in Pokémon Go, focusing on Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon to align with real-world celebrations. Honestly, we’re just as stoked as you are to see what Niantic has in store for Halloween 2023.
Mimikyu is that dual-type Ghost/Fairy Pokémon from Generation VII that we’ve all been waiting to see in Pokémon Go. Seriously, what could be a more fitting event for its grand entrance than Halloween? Though we hoped it would pop up during the Season of Alola, it looks like Niantic is still playing hard to get with this one.
As if we didn’t have enough Ghost Pokémon to chase around, the Paldea region is bringing ten new Ghost-types into the mix. Given the timing, it’s more than likely we’ll see at least one make their Pokémon Go debut during the Halloween 2023 event.
So here’s the tea, Trainers. We’ve got a mix of leaks and educated guesses for you.
