Original news on October 8, 2021: Starting October 15, 2021 and running through October 31, 2021, Pokémon Go will be celebrating its annual Halloween event. This year, the spooky – Season is all about some new arrivals that would perfectly fit the event. We’re talking about Paragoni and Trombork, which are not yet officially confirmed for Halloween, but have been teased in the Pokémon Go loading screen for some time. And it looks like there’s more to come!

Galar Laschoking does the honors

The developers at Niantic teased the appearance of Galar-Laschoking for Halloween via Twitter – the silhouette shown can clearly be assigned to Laschoking with horror shell and creepy cape. And even if “only” the three – Galar Laschoking, Paragoni and Trombork – are new in Pokémon Go for Halloween, the event would be much more exciting and interesting than in previous years.

Two old friends are returning to the Pokémon Go Raids for the Halloween event: From October 12 to October 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Giratina (change form) will make an appearance, and you can get it as a Shiny if you’re lucky. From October 22 to November 5, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Darkrai will appear in the raids (as usual for Halloween), and this time you’re guaranteed to get it with the Mud Bomb attack. If you are lucky, Darkrai will also land as a Shiny in front of your Master Ball.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from .gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
