The Halloween Mischief event for Pokémon Go has arrived, and with it, a spooky event full of Dark, Ghost, and Psychic-type Pokémon. All players will participate in this event as they attempt to capture several Pokémon appearing in costumes, such as a new Pikachu variant, Drifblim, and Piplup. In addition, there are also opportunities to capture Yamask, Galarian Yamask and evolve Galarain Slowpoke into Galarian Slowking.
