With Pumpkaboo spawning everywhere in Pokemon Go, fans are searching for all the different sizes of this species, so here’s which version is the best and if shiny Pumpkaboo is available in Pokemon Go.

The Halloween spirit has already kicked off in Pokemon Go with the Harvest Festival 2023 event that features the Ghost/Grass-type Pokemon Pumpkaboo in PokeStop Showcases and Collection Challenges.

Pumpkaboo has different forms that look exactly the same but differ in size, so Pokemon Go players need to capture all of them to complete various quests and fill their Pokedex. With so much to do, everyone wants to find out which size is the best and if they can be shiny.

So here’s everything you need to know about Pumpkaboo sizes in Pokemon Go, including how to catch them, the best size, and their shiny availability.

How to get all Pumpkaboo sizes in Pokemon Go

Pumpkaboo comes in four sizes: Small, Average, Large, and Super; and they are all available as wild spawns and as rewards from Field and Timed Research tasks in Pokemon Go.

Unfortunately, there is no fixed way to find a particular size but if there’s a black silhouette of a Pumpkaboo in your nearby list of Pokemon, catching it would register a new size in your Pokedex.
