Celebrate Halloween Weekend With The First ‘Pokemon Go’ Event

So who’s playing Pokemon Go? We all know that the grind for candy and rare Pokemon is a daily struggle for the trainers willing to put in the grind. With Halloween right around the corner, Niantic thought this would be a good time to give us a little relief in the form of the game’s first special event!

Until November 1st, the game will have increased spawn rates for the especially spooky Pokemon, which includes Drowsee, Hypno, Ghastly, Haunter, Gengar, Golbat, and Zubat, the latter of which will make your every day life feel like you’re walking through a cave. Every Pokemon that is caught, transferred and hatched will give out double the candy, while the amount of walking needed to retrieve candy with your buddy will be cut down by 3/4ths the normal distance.

Being a few days into the event, I refuse to believe that Cubone isn’t part of this. It and Marowak are the new Pidgey’s in my area, on top of the overflow of Drowsee’s. If nothing else, now’s the time to hatch as many eggs as possible, especially those coveted 10 KM eggs. Maybe this event will be when you’re finally able to hatch enough Dratini for that elusive Dragonite? Or it could just be another Onix. That’s the true horror of the season.

Who else is taking part in the event? Have you found anything good? Share your stories below!
