Pokémon Go’s Halloween celebrations are gearing up, and the official social media accounts just teased 2025’s costumed creatures. However, despite some exciting additions, we’ve noticed a distinct lack of Mimikyu, arguably the most Halloweed-coded Pokémon ever made.
The latest Pokémon Go X post features the silhouettes of nine Pokémon on an autumnal residential street, and some of them, like Piplup, Pikachu, and Drifblim, are clearly wearing Halloween hats. But, despite first appearing in Pokémon Sun and Moon in the same year that Niantic’s location-based mobile game began, and Pikachu getting a Mimikyu-themed Halloween costume in 2019, the fairy and ghost Pokémon has yet to launch in Pokémon Go.
While Mimikyu fans are still left in the dust, this reveal does suggest that Noibat and Noivern are set to appear more frequently during the Halloween event. It’s not clear from the silhouettes whether or not the latter gets a special hat, but honestly, given how hard it is to evolve the tiny bat into its draconic final form, we’re glad for any opportunity to grind candies.
