Event

Events celebrate a special occasion and offer rewards for trainers. These events usually last about a week and grant trainers a chance to complete their Pokédex by increasing the chance of acquiring rare Pokémon. Trainers may also see an increase in Pokémon spawns and receive more Items, XP, Stardust, and Candy.

Halloween
This event took place between October 26th to November 1st.

Trainers received double Candy for catching, hatching, and transferring Pokémon. The required Buddy distance was reduced by a quarter. This meant that Pokémon received Candy four times faster.

Trainers saw an increased spawn rate for scary Pokémon. These Pokémon included: Zubat, Golbat, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Drowzee, Hypno, Cubone, and Marowak.

Daily Bonus Celebration
This event took place between November 7th to November 11th.

To celebrate the new Daily Bonus feature, more Pokémon spawned and PokéStops granted more items.

Thanksgiving
This event is taking place between November 23rd to November 30th.

As a thank you to the community, Niantic is rewarding trainers with double XP and Stardust.

It has also been confirmed that trainers will receive four times the amount of XP when they use a Lucky Egg during the event.
