Niantic have confirmed the Pokemon Go Halloween Mischief event will kick off the spooky season this Fall, which is the next step in the Season of Mischief. Included will be new Pokemon debuting, Special Research, Timed Research tasks, and bonuses.
The Season of Mischief has introduced PoGo players to Hoopa for the very first time, and added a long-term Special Research story that guides users through several checkpoints.
The next stop in Pokemon Go’s scary path to December is Halloween Mischief, which sees a number of new Pokemon arriving in the mobile game. Whether you’re interested in new egg hatches, Raids, or trying to snag a Pumpkaboo during the annual holiday, there’s something for everyone.
Oh, did we mention a new size mechanic is coming too? A big shakeup is on the way…
