How to find Ghost-type Pokemon for Pokemon Go Halloween Mischief event
NianticGhost-type Pokemon are running wild in Pokemon Go during the Season of Mischief.
Pokemon Go’s Halloween Mischief event requires players to go out and find a number of different Ghost-type Pokemon. If you need a hand ticking them off for the challenges, we’re here to help.
In two individual challenges from the Halloween Mischief event, you are required to find nine different species of Ghost-type Pokemon and another requires you to find 80 of them, overall. The event is also split into two parts, which are called Creepy Companions and Ghoulish Pals.
While it might sound pretty easy to somebody that’s not a regular, there’s a strong feeling in the community that this is actually much tougher than last year’s spooky challenges.
The rewards are fairly similar, too.

There are, however, a number of different species that count towards this tally. Knowing what to look for and where to find them will certainly help.
