Pokemon Go Halloween Event

With Halloween quickly approaching, it’s not surprising that Pokemon Go has gotten into the spirit of the season by creating a Halloween Event. Here’s how to take part as well as all the timed research tasks and their rewards.

The game has plenty of creepy creatures to capitalize on and give as rewards for events like these. Luckily, if you’re missing out on any ghost-type Pokemon, you’ll be able to grab some in Pokemon Go’s latest Halloween event.

We’ve compiled how you can get involved as well as what tasks you’ll need to complete and, of course, what rewards to expect.

How to get the Halloween Times Research tasks & Rewards

Unfortunately, the Halloween event is not free to play. You will need to buy an Event Ticket in order to participate.

The Event Ticket can be found in the Pokemon Go store and costs $5.

The Event Ticket will also grant you:

  • 3x Catch Candy
  • 3x Transfer Candy
  • 3x Hatch Candy
  • 2 guaranteed XL Canties when walking with your buddy
