Getting in on the Halloween fun and dispensing as much virtual candy as possible, Pokémon Go is hosting a “global in-game event” for Halloween. Niantic Labs is encouraging its players to catch the “spooky” pocket monsters like Gastly, Gengar, and Golbat. You’ll be seeing more of them from October 26 to November 1. Plus, the monsters you catch will net double the number of candies (making that six instead of three) and your buddy Pokémon giving you four candies instead of one for every pre-set distance you walk. Professor Willow is also feeling a bit generous and giving two candies for every monster you send his way.
