Beginning at 4:00 a.m. on Monday, October 30, we will be holding an event: Halloween 2023 — Double Candy Research!

Trick or treat!

During the week-long Halloween 2023 — Double Candy Research event, you’ll be able to encounter Pokémon of different sleep types, regardless of your own sleep type.

Also, you can get lavish rewards such as a total of Handy Candy S ×25 through special missions that will be added to the usual missions, and you can get at least twice the usual number of Pokémon candies from sleep research.

Try to get lots of candies during this event!

Also, this time you’ll have lots of opportunities to meet Pikachu wearing a Halloween hat and also Ghost-type Pokémon such as Gastly!
We hope you’re looking forward to it!
