Pokemon GO has announced that the Festivals of Lights 2024 event will mark the debut of new costumed Pokemon, but it will only be available in India. The Festival of Lights is one of the most popular regional events in Pokemon GO, held every year in the fall to celebrate the Diwali season.
October is shaping up to be an eventful month for Pokemon GO fans, with a plethora of exciting updates coming to the game. The month kicked off with the Sewaddle Community Day, and the much anticipated Halloween event will take place in Pokemon GO in late October. Rumors also suggest that the Gigantamax feature might be introduced as part of the upcoming Halloween events, but the developers have not provided an official statement. Meanwhile, there is another new event right around the corner in Pokemon GO, but only some players will be able to participate.

Pokemon GO Festival of Lights Event Schedule
- Date and time - Friday, November 1, at 10:00 a.m. To Monday, November 4, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. Local time
Fans will receive twice the amount of Stardust and XP for catching Pokemon, and the spawn rate of Team GO Rocket Grunts will also be increased. Considering that Team GO Rocket lineups in Pokemon GO were recently revamped, this will be a great opportunity for players to catch some new Pokemon. Along with that, the duration of Incense will also be increased to three hours for the entirety of the event.
There are additional spawn boosts on the way as well, with several Pokemon set to appear more frequently when players use Incense. These include Alolan Geodude, Hisuian Voltorb, Slugma, Volbeat, Illumise, Litwick, Morelull, and Tadbulb. Along with that, Hisuian Voltorb, Dedenne, Morelull, and an unannounced Pokemon will also spawn in Pokemon GO raids. Last but not least, new Field Research will give players Morelull, Tadbulb, and a mystery encounter, which will likely be the new regional costumed Pokemon that is set to debut during the event. Although not everyone will be able to participate in the Festival of Lights event, Pokemon GO fans from around the world are eager to see which Pokemon will be donning a new costume for 2024.
