Earn Double Candy in Pokemon Go for Halloween – Ghoulish Spirit

Heads up, Pokemon Go lovers: Halloween is approaching and your favorite game is getting into the ghoulish spirit.

From Oct. 26 through Nov. 1, you’ll notice increased Candy Rewards throughout the game, the Pokemon Go team announced Monday. On those days, you’ll earn double the amount of Candy every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokemon.

Plus, select Pokemon, like Haunter, will appear more often in the game, so you can add a bunch of spooky creatures to your Pokedex.

“If you encounter more spooky Pokemon than normal, don’t be startled, they want to enjoy the fun too!” the Pokemon Go team wrote in their announcement. “Scare up some friends, grab your buddy and enjoy this spooky, fun celebration with us!

Pokemon Go developer Niantic earlier this month announced a new capture bonus, which you collect when earning medals for catching certain types of Pokemon. Trainers can work their way to a new tier by catching a number of same-type Pokemon. If a monster has multiple types, your bonus amounts to the average of your bonuses for each type.

Just be careful while you’re out hunting for Pokemon. A Twitch game streamer was recently assaulted and mugged while streaming his Pokemon Go session live from Central Park in New York City. The game, of course, requires players to walk around and catch Pokemon in various locations, but perhaps Central Park after midnight should be added to the list of places not to catch ’em all.
