The spooky fun won’t end on Halloween night for Latin American Pokemon GO players, as Niantic has announced events celebrating Day of the Dead on November 1 and 2.
The Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a holiday originating from Mexico that takes place on the first two days of November celebrating the memory of friends and family members who have passed away. According to Mexican tradition, November 1-2 is the time of year when the veil that separates the physical world from the spirit realm is at its weakest, allowing spirits to freely pass into the land of the living.
It seems the same otherworldly rules apply to Ghost-type Pokemon, as trainers will have an easier time encountering them and a few other types from Sunday, November 1 at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, November 2, at 11:59 p.m. local time. Trainers can expect to encounter Litwick and Duskull at a higher rate during this time. Incense will also be more effective at attracting Ghost and Dark-types, including Gastly, Misdreavus, Drifloon, Duskull, Shuppet, Litwick, and Absol. The event will only be available to players living in Latin America.
Ghosts are not the only Pokemon that will appear more frequently. A few Grass-type Pokemon will also appear more often as well, including Sunflora, Roselia, and Cacnea. The Ground-type Cubone will also be easier to encounter. These Pokemon fit into the theme of Day of the Dead as Grass-types reference the tradition of families visiting cemeteries to leave flowers, such as roses, sunflowers, and cacti for their loved ones.
It is also tradition to make a special kind of bread for Day of the Dead called pan de muerto. The top piece of this bread is shaped into pieces that resemble crossbones. This is not the first time that Niantic has referenced food in Pokemon GO, as the developer recently announced a partnership with Grubhub to catch rare types of Pokemon.
Trainers will also have access to exclusive Day of the Dead-themed Field Research tasks to encounter Pokemon such as Marowak, Alolan Marowak, Murkrow, and Duskull. Niantic will make a special box available in the Pokemon GO shop that will feature Incense, Poffins, and remote raid passes.
With Pokemon GO’s Halloween events running through November 3, and the addition of the new Day of the Dead events, trainers have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
