Wonder why Singapore didn’t get the special treatment...In other news, London's getting the special spawns treatment to celebrate the opening of Pokemon Center London. Combee, Castform, Pidove, Psyduck, and Roselia, plus some wild spawns of the gen 1 eon evos.
Now I’m awaiting Frillish and possibly the rest of the Dark-types. Let’s hope they release Zorua!

Finally! The halloween events are always my favorite (largely due to ghost being my favorite type :P). In the gen 3 halloween event I managed to get one of each shiny (duskull, shuppet, and sabeleye), but was not able to repeat that success last year. Hoping to make up for it and get shiny drifloon and yamask this year (and shiny mimikyu pikachu with any extra extra extra luck...). If only Alolan Marowak would spawn in the wild for this event too!Halloween event announced:
- More Shadow Pokémon
- New clothes and items
- Yamask and shiny Yamask debut
- Costumed Pokémon
- Darkrai
- Special research featuring a “forbidden Pokémon”
- Double candy from hatch, catch, and transfer
I would agree with Ex if Mewtwo wasn’t shoehorned in until potentially November. It’s not out of the question, but linking Darkrai to a Halloween event would make more sense with the timeline, and plus, who wouldn’t want to milk all the passes Darkrai will yield?I realize this is Niantic we’re talking about.
Easy call-outs every time!If regular: It could be placed after Giratina-A ends on October 17 to coincide with the Halloween event. Since Giratina-O skipped a few raid bosses on its initial release, they're probably saving it for later and Darkrai can fit in this timeline.
And most importantly, you can complete it at any time even after the ticket disappears from the shop. So the ticket is time-limited, but the event itself is not once you purchase it.Regi Mania
Read the full link for the details but the gist of it:
- Regirock, Regice and Registeel in raids for 4 days with their shiny variants.
- Shiny Skarmory is released.
- Regigigas to come to Ex Raids after Mewtwo. However, you can obtain it beforehand in a special ticketed event.
- Ticket in the US is $8, price varies through countries and can’t be bought with Poke Coins. You get:
1) Series of quests to get Regigigas. Can be done anywhere.
2) 10 Free Raid Passes. These do not stack. Use them up before the event ends or else you lose out.
3) Unova Stone, Sinnoh Stone, and exclusive pose are given to you as part of the purchase.
4) A Colossal Discovery medal.
so it's theoretically possible to find these in the wild now? Ive basically never seen any fully evolved mons in the wild aside from either 1: random, weak 2-stagers or 2. during weather, even then that was just charizard and slowbro, thats allSo, Niantic readded Paras to the wild after it was gone for around 5-6 weeks. In turn, they also introduced a bunch of species to the wild. The following species now spawn worldwide:
Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Metagross, Salamence, Exploud, Aggron, Flygon, Slaking, Ludicolo, Medicham, Manectric.
Most of these are Gen 3 final evos - sadly, no reports on the Nincada line, Wurmple line (except Wurmple itself), Absol or Mawile yet. There might be more, like Shiftry or Walrein, but for now these are the ones seen in the wild. Good to see Niantic loosing up a bit with regards to the spawn pool.
Well there was the one time during December last year when a weak Charizard and Charmeleon popped up in my condo for no apparent reason.so it's theoretically possible to find these in the wild now? Ive basically never seen any fully evolved mons in the wild aside from either 1: random, weak 2-stagers or 2. during weather, even then that was just charizard and slowbro, thats all
has anyone else even seen decent final stage mons in the wild? like aside from summer 2016 when a wild dragonite occasionally popped up on the radar Im convinced those things dont actually exist
