Halloween is fast approaching, and in the spirit of the spooky holiday, Nintendo is giving out treats of the “Pokémon” variety!
Ghost-type Pumpkaboo is available for download thanks to a distribution event that coincides with the Trick-or-Treat Friendly online competition. While you can catch the Generation VI Pokémon in-game, this event Pumpkaboo is extra special! It's super-sized, which means that its base HP is higher than the three smaller versions of the same Pokémon.
In addition to being super-sized, the event Pumpkaboo has a greater chance of possessing the Insomnia Hidden Ability. (Unfortunately, I got “tricked”--my Pumpkaboo's ability is Pickup.) A few other “treats” with the event Pumpkaboo include the Rocky Helmet, a held item that injures any Pokémon that attacks the holder and learned moves Trick-or-Treat and Scary Face.
Those wishing to compete in the Trick-orTreat Friendly online competition must have a super-sized Gourgeist (which can be achieved by trading your super-sized Pumpkaboo with a friend). It is a single battle-style competition that allows only ghost-type Pokémon to be used. Registration for the event begins Oct. 16 and continues until Oct. 23 with competition beginning Oct. 24.
Distribution of Super-sized Pumpkaboo is going on now and continues through Halloween. Get it while you can! If you need help getting this Pokémon, check out the official “Pokémon” website for more information!
