Pokemon GO’s Halloween Event Is Here

The Pokemon GO Halloween 2020 event is here and will last until November 3rd. More Ghost-type Pokemon will appear, and you’ll earn double the candy from catching and transferring Pokemon.

Gengar and Sableye are receiving Halloween costumes. You can find the former’s in raids, and the latter either in eggs or by encountering them in a wild battle. Spiritomb can be found through Normal Research, and you’ll have a chance of getting a Shiny one.
