Pokemon GO Prepares for October With Ghost Types and New Event Details
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Pokemon GO has detailed its upcoming Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek event, bringing new Ghost types like Bramblin, Super Max Levels, and seasonal rewards to the mobile game this October.
October is practically a designated holiday in the live service calendar, and Pokemon GO is leaning into the season early. According to recent reports from Game Rant, the mobile phenomenon is rolling out its Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek event alongside the ongoing Twilight Trails season. Running from October 13 to October 19, the update introduces the Grass and Ghost type Bramblin to the game, giving players a fresh entry to hunt down while out and about.
Getting your hands on Bramblin will require a bit of effort since it will bypass wild spawns entirely during the event window. Instead, players will need to complete GO Pass tasks or rely on Incense encounters to add the new Pokemon to their rosters. Beyond Bramblin, the update brings Super Max Levels to Mega Manectric, introducing a powered up version of Discharge that scales significantly during Raid Battles. Timed Research will also offer rewards like massive XP drops and an exclusive marathon visor Pikachu for players who wrap up tasks before the October 19 deadline.
While seasonal events are a staple for keeping mobile communities engaged, this October rollout sets the stage for even bigger additions before the current season concludes on December 1. With Mega Chandelure also on the horizon for a likely Raid Day appearance, developers are keeping the momentum steady. For a game that has maintained its community through routine seasonal refreshes for years, these targeted content drops remain an effective way to keep players checking their screens during their daily routines.
