Halloween Event!

[inkstone]

PokeGo is once again hosting an in-game Halloween event. The rewards are the same as last year's:

• doubled candy when catching, hatching & transferring pokemon


• your buddy will earn candy twice as fast

Other highlights: Pikachu will have a special hat. Your avatar can wear Mimikyu's disguise hat. And in addition to the already existing ghost pokemon, we will see some ghost types from Gen 3.

I went on a walk that ended up being 4km/1.75 hours and... mostly don't regret it. I might regret it tomorrow or Sunday, but not today.

I caught a fair number of Shuppet, a handful of Duskull, and even a Sableye! (Not a shiny, though apparently that's possible (!!!).) I've had a soft spot for Sableye for a looong time; it had no weaknesses in the core games prior to the introduction of Fairy type. Also I just love its design and lore and stuff. The one I caught's got crap stats, but it's in my 'dex and it's mine, and that's a decent start!

I'm also definitely loving the new load screen. Nice and creepy!

Just got two(!) Witch Hat Pikachu! One male, one female, both with terrible stats :P I was worried they'd be as rare as Party Hat and/or Santa Hat varieties, though, so I got 'em anyway. We'll see if they stay in my party through the end of the event.
