Pokemon Unite Halloween event date & schedule

The Pokemon Unite Halloween event starts on October 19 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET / 1 AM BST (October 20) and will run until November 9, 2023.

Pokemon Unite players will have plenty of time to enjoy the rewards, bonuses, and free content. Here are the details about the Pokemon Unite Halloween event challenges and bonuses.

Pokemon Unite Halloween event Mimikyu debut

Mimikyu is joining Pokemon Unite’s roster as an All-Rounder, and will change the current meta of the game for the better. Most All-Rounders have a considerable balance in their stats, but Mimikyu has a focus on offense and mobility, which makes it closer to a Speedster.

Mimikyu’s kit, which is also packed up with a lot of crowd control, dot, and traversal movement is ideal for ambushes and ganks, making it the most aggressive of All-Rounders so far. On the contrary, its kit lacks survivability and scoring skills, which makes it more of an off-laner and roamer than a Single-lane Pokemon.

Mimikyu’s Unite License will be available for purchase for all players from October 19, 2023, from the start of the Halloween Event at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET / 1 AM BST (October 20).

Pokemon Unite Halloween event missions & rewards

Pokemon Unite players can complete a series of Halloween event missions to earn various rewards, including items, capsules, Holowear, and Aeos Coins.

From October 23, 2023, trainers will be allowed to participate in the Pokebuki event, with a special challenge PvE mission, that will also include log-in bonuses, and Score Challenge Rewards similar to those from the previous Panic Parade Event.

Pokemon Unite trainers will also be able to access a single-time log-in bonus on November 2, 2023, and a Surprise Gift to commemorate Mimikyu’s debut in the game.

Additionally, Halloween in the Mer Stadium Quick Match games will be available, with a new Halloween-themed Pumpkin Throw mechanic and, missions to complete in order to win Halloween Coins.

Pokemon Unite Halloween event Coins & Dispenser

During the Pokemon Unite Halloween event, trainers can log in to receive a series of missions that will award Halloween Coins. Players can exchange Halloween Coins in the Halloween Gacha /Dispenser Machine provided in the Event Hub.

Here’s the list of Halloween Coins Daily Missions:

Mission	Reward
Log in daily	Halloween Coins x20
Exchange for a reward from the capsule dispenser 1 time	Halloween Coins x10
Put a pumpkin on a Pokemon’s head 10 times (attainable on Halloween in Mer Stadium matches)	Halloween Coins x20
Win 1 Halloween in Mer Stadium battle	Halloween Coins x30
Win 1 Halloween in Mer Stadium battle	Halloween Coins x20

Players need 20 Halloween Coins for a single pull. You can get a total of 100 Halloween Coins every day, so that means you can get five pulls in the Dispenser/Gacha Game Daily.

Pokemon Unite new Held Items: Curse Incense & Curse Bangle

Two new Held Items are joining the arsenal of equipment for Pokemon Unite during the Halloween Event: Curse Bangle and Curse Incense. Both Items can be purchased in the Shop for 2000 Aeos Coins or 1250 Aeos Tickets.

Curse Bangle is a B-Tier attack Item that applies a healing hindrance effect when Attack-based damage is dealt to an opposing Pokemon. The recovery effects of said Pokemon are weakened for a short time, and when Attack-based basic attack damage is inflicted, the HP recovery effect duration is reset.

This makes it a great Held Item for attackers, all-rounders, and especially chaser-speedsters. Additionally, Curse Bangle adds extra Att. Damage to the Pokemon who holds this item.

Curse Incense does the same as Curse Bangle, but instead of activating with Attack-based damage, it is activated with Special Attack damage. It also applies healing hindrance on the targetted Pokemon and when the user Pokemon applies Sp. Att. basic attacks, it resets its effect.

This item also increases the holder Pokemon’s Sp. Att. status, making it a great addition to Attackers like Espeon, Delphox, Glaceon, and Sylveon, who depend on Sp. Attack as their primary stat.
