Big news for the Pokémon GO Halloween event 2017: Various ghost Pokémon from Generation 3 have been discovered. Also, there’s a special Trainer hat!
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement from Niantic regarding the Pokémon GO Halloween event 2017, the anticipation for the event is growing. The reason for this is the hints that have appeared in recent days. Forms, sounds, event music, and a Halloween wallpaper have already been found.
Now, Generation 3 is getting closer in Pokémon GO. The app is already downloading images of the ghosts from Generation 3 and a witch hat Pikachu in the background. In the game, we also find the new medal for the Hoenn region.
Update: It is now official: Start time and bonuses for the Halloween event are known
Gen 3 Ghosts: Shuppett, Banette, and Sableye
Recently, Pokémon GO trainers speculated whether all the monsters from the third generation would be introduced into the game at once or if only a few ghosts would make it into the game for Halloween.
There isn’t a reliable answer yet, as Niantic is still quiet about the event. However, Pokémon GO is now downloading icons for various ghost Pokémon from the third generation in the background.
This includes all the monsters that were already found on the leaked loading screen. Additionally, the game is also downloading their Shiny variants. So, we may also find them in the game soon. The Pokémon are called:
- Shuppett,
- Banette,
- and Sableye
Witch Hat Pikachu and Special Trainer Hat
In addition to the Gen 3 ghosts, special forms of Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu wearing a witch hat are being downloaded, which you can see in the upper image. This way, you can expand your collection of special Pikachu with a Halloween variant.
There is also a special hat for Trainers at the event. If you are still wearing your Magikarp hat now, you may soon replace it with a crazy Mimikyu hat.
Hoenn Region Medal
Trainers have also noticed that there are new medals to be found in the game. These are for the Hoenn region, which can be explored in the 3rd generation of Pokémon, for example. Combining the recently found hints and this new medal, one can assume that Generation 3 is now not far away.
We hope that Niantic will soon release the official event announcement and finally list everything that awaits us at the Halloween event. Here you can listen to the discovered event music for Halloween.
