It's that time of year again in Pokemon GO! It's time to look at what Niantic's got in the works for their most spooky holiday celebration in October. Much like previous years, this Halloween won't necessarily be called "Halloween" in the game - but it'll be no less dark because of it. This year we've got word that Halloween will release one of Pokemon GO's most disturbingly dark monsters of all.
This morning the latest release of Pokemon GO included imagery of Shiny Trapinch and crew.

Throughout Pokemon's long history, one of the original 151 Pokemon has built quite the following for itself: Farfetch'd. Originally only available through an in-game trade in Pokemon Red and Blue, Farfetch'd is a bird Pokemon that deals damage by slapping its opponents with a leek. It's never been a very good Pokemon in terms of competitive viability, but nonetheless, Farfetch'd has its share of fans around the world.

As with most new Pokemon games, Nintendo and Game Freak have been trickle-releasing information about the new Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Instead of just outing the Pokemon, Game Freak is instead teasing it on the official Pokemon website.
Raid Boss Deoxys in Pokemon GO is one of the beefiest Pokemon in the game when it comes to defending its turf.
