PokeGo's First In-game Event!

[inkstone]

"Pokémon GO - Halloween Is Approaching..." (Watch on YouTube)

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!

...I do not need more Drowzees. I already have enough evolved Hypnos to keep the entire first stanza of "Dreamers" by Siegfried Sassoon in my Pokemon collection.

(Yes, this is what I've been doing with my bounty of Drowzees. I still have one more stanza left, so.)

But yay for more candies! I have a Graveler to evolve.
