Pokémon GO’s first ever Halloween Event is officially here! If you 
log in and play any time between now and November 1st you’ll be to reap several benefits such as:
- Receiving 2x the reward candy for every Pokémon you catch and hatch
- Professor Willow giving you 2x the reward candy for each Pokémon you transfer
- Buddy Pokémon will spawn candy 4x faster than usual
In addition to the candy bonuses, the following spoopy Pokémon evolution lines will spawn at a higher rate than usual:
- Zubat, Golbat
- Meowth
- Gastly, Haunter, Gengar
- Drowzee, Hypno
- Cubone, Marowak
Do events like these entice you to log into the game and play more often? What level are you, and how close are you to completing the Pokédex in GO?

Level 22 (almost 23), with 111 Pokémon in the Dex! Thanks to this event I finally got a Marowak 😀 Now I need to do some walking with my cp1000 Machoke!
Lucky I’ve seen 78 and caught 65
Okay but WHERE’S JOHTO!?
Soon™
Though I need TTar to rekt Dragonite.
I’d imagine the earliest they’d release Gen 2 would be this summer. The nice weather would be a natural stimulant to increase traffic and usage on the app; add in the Gen 2 Pokémon and it would entice even more – plus it’d be a great way to mark the 1 year anniversary!
New loading screen!

Also, I’m level 25, my top contenders are Arcanine, Exeggcute and Vaporeon. Plus Poliwhirl to guard gyms.
I don’t look at the dex anymore, I’m a competitor and I love attacking gyms. 😉
Level 13 best are
Tauros, Jolteon, and Tauros
I have never owned or been in a gym and everytime I’ve found a gym that’s empty I put a Pokémon in and it says error cause some D*ck steals it with 1300 some Snorlax that I can’t compete with
I think I may actually play more this week due to this event. I still need Marowak and Gengar and having some extra Pokemon around that aren’t typically around should be good. also the extra candies you get from everything will be super helpful.
This update is awesome 😀
This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tPel7uXuVg confirms a few things such as the Aether Foundation will be battled, Kukui will be battled, etc. Also, I think based on this the remaining 2 Kahuna types will be Steel and Ground.
So tired of spoilers
Ready for the game
Likewise!
Love how they zoom in on Kukui’s chest ?
But but battle frontier!! ;_;
What about it?
Doesn’t this mean it’s gone? If there is no special battle frontier intro?
They might just use a regular battle intro
Not at all. Considering GameFreak intentionally scrubbed stuff from the demo, it’s impossible to assert that these are all the battle intros. But even still, say this is all of them, there’s a rainbow battle intro (Other than the Champion rainbow “Kahuna-type” intro) that looks awfully important. Who knows what that could be.
Who cares Go is dying
I really hope they continue to do events like this on a bi-monthly/quarterly basis or something (although the candy bonuses make sense for Halloween, idk how they’d spin the bonuses for other holidays)!
Although I open the app everyday along my long walk home to hatch eggs and catch any Pokémon that may pop up, I haven’t actually gotten out of my way to go out and play the game until last night when the event went live. These candy bonuses are doing wonder for the game and for me. I’m hella determined to complete the ‘dex, so hopefully I can get out and get 100 candies for all the starters before the event ends so I can finally fully evolve them. ?
Anyone else think that the small number of replies to this article is an indication that the enthusiasm for Go is dying?
Well it was sort of expected to die off gradually. All apps have that. There will be a huge surge when they update with Gen 2.
like most apps, it was huge at the beginning, and is slowly dropping to a stead number of frequent players. it’s not dying by any means
I play it occasionally my friend Ryan is hooked on it everyday at school he’s on it
um.. so there’s an advertisement for the z-ring accessory the works with sun and moon. “get the bundle that comes with all 12 z crystals”
you mean 18 (not counting specific pokemon ones) right?
It could be sold with twelve, and then six others are obtained otherwise? It’d a very common toy selling tactic.
But it says all…
They’re not going to skip out on giving any Type of Z-Crystal, especially as:

This was already shown

This one has 3 included, on amazon you can buy different sets of Z-Stones to complete yours.
Maybe it’s the 12 given in the story in game.
Think about it,
1 for each trial (7)
1 from each kahuna (4)
1 from the champion (1)
7+4+1=12
It was so fun running around last night on a Haunter hunt with my friends! We caught so many cubone, meowth, and drowzee along the way too! <|:‘)
Does it help to catch more than one of the same mon?
It gets you the candies needed to evolve them. Also from a gym battling standpoint you can check their strengths and get some with good moves! It gets you experience too so for the people with lower levels it helps boost them up!
So I’m doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show based team in X, and so you guys think I should use Machamp or Rhyperior for Rocky? For Machamp, it fits because both are ripped af and wear speedos, but for Rhyperior it avoids type overlap with my Pancham, Eddie, and references ‘rock hard abs’ and the name of the character, Rocky.
I’d go with Machamp for the theme because I think it fits better.
Thanks for the suggestion! Decided to go with Machamp after all as it fits better and my team would super Grass weak with Rhyperior
I stopped playing because my phone can’t handle the app but my mom is completely hooked on the game. Lol Just last night she was all proud about finally getting a Raichu
Same! She plays like a half hour every single morning lol
It’s fun hearing her get all excited about creatures I’ve been excited about for over a decade and having her ask me questions about them.
Pkmn SM All Battle Intros ……..officially u can battle Aether Foundation …….u know wat that mean right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tPel7uXuVg
For some reason the video above didn’t work here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tPel7uXuVg
So. . .no battle frontier? D:
How could u expect battle frontier that belong to Hoenn to be available in Alola?
For the same reason Johto and Sinnoh can share a Battle Frontier lol. There’s a strong possibility it’ll be back, but time will tell.
I thought that maybe it could be there, idk. I just liked it a lot, and I want it to return.
Has anyone noticed that Gen.2 of Go won’t change much especially cause if you look Rattata and Pidgey are still more common than Sentret and Hoothoot in GS so if based on games they will just be more to beat the Pokedex than to revitalize the whole thing
Why would Gen 2 be based on the games, when nothing in Pokemon Go relates to the games at all
In relation to area of discovering a Pokémon or time yes it’s very similar as in that for example
Rattata live in cities and forests/Grassy areas in both Go and in the games they live there
And for time
Jigglypuff’s normally are active at night and luck would have it only found at night
Still not playing
our shiny dudes:

Dude this place is as dead as me on the inside since school began again
Where all the peeps at

Today is definitely a losing day
