Pokémon GO celebrates Halloween with first in game event
Pokémon GO celebrates Halloween with first in game event
Halloween is approaching and Pok�mon GO has a treat for you in the form of a special Halloween-themed event, the first in-game event since the game�s release in July 2016.
Developer Niantic Labs has said that players will have a chance to earn double the amount of Candy every time they catch, hatch and transfer Pok�mon from October 26 to November 1. Other perks will be available to trainers as well.
�We would like to trick-or-treat in our own special way by giving Trainers the chance to catch more Pok�mon and earn extra Candy this Halloween,� said Tatsuo Nomura, senior product manager at Niantic.
Your Buddy Pok�mon, as mentioned, will help you earn Candy four times as fast. Plus, you will encounter Pok�mon that are �more spooky than normal,� with increased global encounters of Drowzee, Gastly, Gengar, Golbat, Haunter, Hypno and Zubat during the game�s special Halloween event.
From the press release:
During this period, every Pok�mon caught will earn Trainers six Candies�twice the normal amount. The professor will also give Trainers two Candies instead of one for every Pok�mon transferred to him.In addition, Buddy Pok�mon will award four candies instead of the usual one. Pok�mon Candies enable Trainers to evolve or strengthen their Pok�mon, so players will want to walk and catch all the Pok�mon they can to get their fill of Candy during this special event.
John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic, hinted recently that trainers may experience other special in-game events sometime in the future.
The official Niantic blog at PokemonGOlive.com has more details about the Pok�mon GO in-game Halloween event.
