Halloween 2026Halloween is here! Come join in on the fun and catch some costumed Pokémon!
Until Halloween night, fourteen Pokémon show up in costume for you to catch until the end of the event. There's a new bonus where you can Trick or Treat every day. You can also work as a community to fill up the Candy Jar with seven goals that each unlock a huge bonus. Lastly, you have a lantern of your own that unlocks some amazing bonuses, plus tons more!
Halloween
Costumed Pokémon#
Fourteen Pokémon are dressed up in their Halloween costumes and will appear in the wild until Halloween. They show up in the wild like anything else, and they will keep their costume even after the event. If you're lucky they show up shiny! You can trade and sell the costumes on the market, however they cannot be bred.
The Candy Jar's seven goals#
The Candy Jar has seven community goals. The first goal will gain you access to Darkrai's special research. After that, each goal will be rewarded to every trainer who added at least 10 pumpkins of their own, including the goals that landed before they joined, as long as they collect before the event ends. Only the next goal will show when the previous one is completed!
Once a goal has been completed, it will be announced in the official server! Press Candy Jar on your Trick or Treat to see the goals and collect what you've earned.
Trick or Treat#
Once per day, you can Trick or Treat. Use the command /trickortreat, or the pumpkin button on /daily! You will either receive a trick or a treat.
A treat is three pumpkins that count towards the Candy Jar, getting you closer to that goal. A trick will reward you one pumpkin, and a wild Pokémon jumps out of the bag! However, if you catch the Pokémon from the trick it is worth three pumpkins. Every catch and every wild win drops a pumpkin too, up to twenty a day, and a costumed catch drops extra!
Pumpkins can't be traded, sold or spent. They fill the Candy Jar and your lantern, which will earn you many rewards!
Not a supporter yet? Your first treat will come with a little extra surprise. Your cards will be animated for three days.
Your Lantern#
You also have your own rewards path from all the pumpkins you contributed. You can earn some amazing rewards you would not want to miss out on, so make sure to get your pumpkins!
Press Your Lantern on the Candy Jar to see how far you've climbed and collect your rewards.
Come back every night#
Press Trick or Treat on back-to-back days, and from the third day of your streak every press pays bonus pumpkins! Miss a day and the streak starts over. Every top.gg vote during the event also drops pumpkins in the Candy Jar, on top of what /vote already pays!
The Halloween 2026 board#
A new board on /leaderboard will show the Trainers who have caught the most Ghost and Dark types during the event. Ghost and Dark types also show up more often, so keep your eyes peeled!
The Long Night research#
There's a brand new research chain called The Long Night in /specialresearch too! Every stage gives you a costumed Pokémon, BUT be quick! It ends when the event is over!
Into the Nightmare#
Darkrai's research opens the moment the Candy Jar reaches its first goal, so be sure to hit it as quick as possible! Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked for everyone forever!
Jack-o'-Lantern#
Once you earn seven pumpkins you will unlock the Jack-o'-Lantern color for your cards, and it's yours to keep after the event! Pick it with 🎨 Card color on /stats.
Supporters can pick it from the first day and you can earn it through the event! Go get those pumpkins!

Training#
The Ability Capsule and the Ability Patch are now in the shop! The Ability Capsule swaps a Pokémon to its other regular Ability, and the Ability Patch switches it to its Hidden Ability or back to normal. Both are at the shop. A Fresh-Start Mochi wipes all of a Pokémon's EVs at once, and EV berries are cheaper.
