What you can do to Prepare for this Pokemon GO Halloween Event

• The Perfect Buddy: Since you will be earning Candies twice as fast from walking your buddy, choosing the right buddy will be well worth it. Visit our Buddy Tier List to find the Perfect Buddy this Halloween Season.

 

• Save Up: Have plenty of Mons you want to Transfer Ready when the Halloween Event Starts.

 

• Hatch Eggs: If you plan to go trick or treating during Halloween, you should invest in some Egg Incubators. Don’t let all the walking you do during Halloween go to waste, hatch some eggs while you’re out and about.

 

• Important: Don’t forget to bring some type of Phone Charging Device if you plan to be walking around for awhile.

 

• Plan Ahead of Time: What I plan to do and think other players might find useful is planning my trick or treating around known Spawn Points and even Gyms
