Pumpkin Candy: How to get Pumpkin Candy in Pokopia<\/p>\n

To get Pumpkin Candy in Pokopia<\/a>, you need to use Camouflage to disguise yourself as a Pok\u00e9mon’s favourite item. When said Pok\u00e9mon notices you, it’s time to drop the disguise and give them a surprise! You’ll get between one to three Pumpkin Candy for every Pok\u00e9mon you trick.<\/p>\n

Make sure you wait until the Pok\u00e9mon has a speech bubble above their head, which says ‘A [Item Name]’. This is the sign that they’ve noticed you, so perform the trick quickly! It may take a while for them to notice you and, if it feels like it’s taking too long, best to move on to a different target.<\/p>\n

If you’re having trouble selecting the correct item, then take a look at the base items you’ve used to create the Pok\u00e9mon’s habitat. A Picnic Basket, for example, is perfect for tricking Pikachu as it’s part of this Pok\u00e9mon’s required habitat. You can also use items you’ve placed in their habitat to make them happy, much like how I tricked Vaporeon by disguising myself as a Bathtub.<\/p>\n

When it comes to getting into the Pok\u00e9mon’s eyeline, in my experience you can just move into their line of sight without any problems. It may lower the amount of Pumpkin Candy you earn, but it’s better than nothing. Just remember to wait for their speech bubble to appear before you jump out of them! It may also take longer for Pok\u00e9mon to notice you if their doing any activity like eating or talking to another Mon.<\/p>\n

Finally, it’s worth noting you can’t simply trick the same Pok\u00e9mon over and over again as there’s a hidden reset timer. Due to this, it’s best to visit as many different Pok\u00e9mon as possible to surprise them.<\/p>\n

Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises event explained<\/p>\n

The Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises event runs from 17th October to 1st November. (You can always time travel to it if real life currently sits outside of this time.) To access this event, you need to have rebuilt at least Pok\u00e9mon Center<\/a> and learnt Camouflage from Zorua at Bleak Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This event is not accessible in Bubbly Basin<\/a> or the Cloud Islands.<\/p>\n

When the event is running, the game will begin with a notification saying ‘A Pok\u00e9mon is the talk of the town’. If you’re at Bubbly Basin, then you’ll see a notification prompting you to visit Withered Wasteland<\/a>. After reading this message, head to the Pok\u00e9mon Center and you’ll find Pumpkaboo nearby. After a short chat, Pumpkaboo will task you with collecting Pumpkin Candy before opening its shop in the Pok\u00e9mon Center.<\/p>\n
