Pok Mon Go Adding Hoenn Region Ghost Type Monsters And Halloween Pikachu

Pokémon GO is kicking off its second in-game Halloween event with new ghost-type pocket monsters from the Hoenn Region, a special Pikachua with a witch hat, and more rewards and perks.

Just like last year, trainers will see a flux of spooky Pokémon spawning in the wild like Gastly, Cubone, Misdreavus, and Houndour. This year, however, Pokémon Go is introducing ghost-type creatures from the Hoenn Region as well including Sableye and Banette which haven’t appeared in the game before.

There will also be a special Halloween Pikachu for trainers to catch and add to the Christmas and New Year’s editions. Expect these perks during the Halloween event as well:

Pokémon GO will also be adding more characters from Ruby and Sapphire “gradually as early as December” so we should probably expect a similar event around the winter holidays. This year’s Halloween in-game event kicks off tomorrow, October 20 at 12 pm PDT, and runs through November 2 at 1pm PDT (just one day before iPhone X arrivals!). Pokémon GO is available for free on the App Store.
