Trainers, guess what time it is? Halloween is rolling around, and you know Niantic’s got something cooked up for Pokémon GO. This year, we’re looking at a two-part event. The first part kicks off on October 19 at 10:00 a.m. and runs until October 26 at 10:00 a.m. local time. The second part picks up right after and goes until Halloween night at 8:00 p.m.
So, what’s in the cauldron for Part 1? First up, we’ve got Greavard making its grand entrance. Plus, keep an eye out for a Shiny Phantump. But what we want to talk about today is the free Greavard Timed Research.
This Greavard research is split into three steps, each with its tasks and goodies. Get through all of ’em, and you’ll get to encounter Greavard itself. You can hop into this Timed Research from October 19 to October 31. Oh, and it’s all about catching those spooky Ghost: type Pokémon.
