Pokémon Sleep’s Halloween event arrives early, and we hope it’s not a trick
Pokémon Sleep just announced its upcoming Halloween event, which is due to arrive next week on October 27, and will serve as Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist’s debut in the sleep tracking app. However, to my surprise, I woke up this morning to three Pumpkaboo at my campsite, and I can’t help but feel like the ghosts are playing tricks on me.
Update data revealed earlier this month that the gourd ghost Pokémon were due to arrive in Pokémon Sleep this month for spooky season, but both official blog posts about their debut and the Halloween Week double candy research state October 27 as the earliest date for you to encounter them. Even more curiously, the gen 6 Pokémon are only meant to appear on Greengrass Isle and Old Gold Power Plant, but I encountered them at Lapis Lakeside, and Pocket Tactics’ editor, Ruby, found hers in Snowdrop Tundra.
While the official Pokémon Sleep social media accounts have yet to say anything, based on how close the actual event is, it’s highly likely that this is a mistake. If that’s the case, I desperately hope that we don’t face roll-backs on any encountered Pumpkaboo, because I was lucky enough to find a shiny and I’m already very attached. Even with the ghosts arriving slightly ahead of schedule, there’s still plenty of new content to look forward to in the Halloween Week double candy event.
