Pokemon Go returns with their annual Halloween celebration event with spooky spirits, ghastly ghouls, new research, and revolting raids! Well, the raids probably aren’t revolting, but you get my attempt at additional alliterations, right? Later this week, Pokemon Go Halloween begins and with it comes themes research tasks, items, and other goodies.
