Island mode
This event has an explicit Cloud Island note in the guide. Read it carefully: Main Island progress still owns the event route, while Cloud Islands are only valid when the guide names them.
How To Start
Install update Ver. 2.0.1, set your Nintendo Switch 2 to the real current date and time, then start the game while connected to the internet.
Before the event can occur, clear your town's important request, rebuild a Pokemon Center, and learn the move Mimic from Zorua in Gloomy Beach.
During the event window, talk to Pumpkaboo near the Pokemon Center, hear its request, and become friends.
If you meet the town requirements during the event, move to another town or quit to the main menu once to make the event appear.
Mechanics
Transform into furniture or other things Pokemon like, then surprise them when they come close to receive Pumpkin Candy.
Bring the Pumpkin Candy you collect to the Pokemon Center and exchange it for special furniture and other items themed after a midnight festival.
Use the exchanged items to create a habitat for Gourgeist, then become friends with it.
