PokeGo's First In-game Event!



Look alive, we'll be having our first in-game event from October 26 - November 1! It is, as you can probably guess, Halloween-themed.
  • Increased chances of encountering "spooky" pokémon: drowzee, hypno, gastly, haunter, gengar, zubat, and golbat.

  • Double the amount of candy for catching, hatching & transferring pokémon. So you get 2 candy when you send a mon to Professor Willow & 6 (!!) when you catch them.

  • And the big one: you get four candies instead of one when walking your buddy!

ETA on 10/25/16: Silph Road members, based on Ingress events, are saying that the event runs on UTC time!
tyger: Entei, Suicine, and Raioku sprites (pokémon - legendary beasts)

....ahahahahaha oh man, timing is fucking everything. I'm having the surgery to get this one bolt out of my foot on Thursday morning! Which given time zone differences will be roughly when the event starts! *slightly hysterical cackling*

Well, I'll enjoy as much of it as I can! Maybe I can finally catch a ghastly! >: (...I really don't need more zubat though. Plz go away, zubat. I have 83 zubat candy spare already, and given I've only caught ~250 pokémon TOTAL thaaaat's kinda a lot.)

Also omfg I opened up the game to check my candy, and THERE WAS A GROWLITHE AND I CAUGHT IT eeeeeee first growlithe hiiiiiii pretty puppy~ <3
