What happened

Niantic and Scopely Explore are bringing Bramblin to Pokémon GO during Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek. In the available announcement, Bramblin is described as a Grass/Ghost Pokémon being added to the game. That makes it the first concrete addition tied to this event in the provided information.

The event period is set for Tuesday, October 13 at 10:00 a.m. through Monday, October 19 at 8:00 p.m., local time. The notice also says Bramblin will not appear as a wild spawn. That means the Pokémon is not being listed as a regular wild encounter during this period in the source material.

According to the current information, players can get Bramblin through GO Pass tasks or via Incense encounters. Brambleghast has not been definitively confirmed yet. The source mentions the evolution, but does not attach a finalized acquisition method or separate event confirmation to it.

No extra event bonuses, additional spawn changes, or separate research tasks are confirmed in the provided information beyond Bramblin itself.
