Pokémon GO Halloween Celebrations With Ghosts And Psychics

Niantic Labs are getting spooky with Pokémon GO in time for Halloween with an influx of ghost and psychic type Pokémon. They'll be appearing a lot more often.

The centuries old tradition of roaming bands of children terrorising villages and towns for their chocolate-based foodstuffs shows no sign of stopping, but at least Pokémon GO might distract them enough so they don't notice all the good candy has already been eaten - probably by you - and will take their tricks and menacing pitchforks elsewhere for the annual tithe.

Your Buddy Pokémon meanwhile will be earning Candy four times as fast during Halloween as its only fair, or twice as much on your own.

"If you encounter more spooky Pokémon than normal, don’t be startled, they want to enjoy the fun too! Scare up some friends, grab your buddy and enjoy this spooky, fun celebration with us! Happy Halloween!"

Pokémon GO will be extra spooky from October 26th - November 1st with Zubat, Golbat, Drowzee, Hypno, Gastly, Gengar and Haunter stalking outside in greater numbers. Already have plenty of these? Well too bad! Go enjoy your real and virtual candy instead. No, having a Buddy Pokémon does not entitle you to get four times as much candy from strangers in your neighbourhood - only in the game.

Pokémon GO released on iOS and Android back in July 2016.
