Pokemon GO is holding their Halloween Mischief event through the rest of October in celebration of the holiday and with it has brought a new Timed Research related to the Halloween Cup.

This is one of the more unique Timed Research, as there really aren't fully GO Battle League centric researches as a rule.

There have been tasks since the debut of the GO Battle League asking you to do something related to it, but being solely focused around it is different.

Pokemon GO Halloween Mischief Event

Just in time for the spooky season, Pokemon GO is holding its Halloween Mischief event, which is made up of two mini-events surrounding the overall event itself.

The overall Halloween Mischief event starts on Friday, October 15 at 10:00 am local time and runs through Sunday October 31 at 8:00 pm local time.

Coming up first is the Creepy Companions half of the event, which runs from Friday October 15 at 10:00 am local time to Friday, October 22 at 10:00 am local time.

The second part runs a little longer, with the Ghoulish Pals event running from Friday, October 22 at 10:00 am local time to Sunday, October 31 at 8:00 pm local time.

Halloween Cup Timed Research Tasks And Rewards

Unlike pretty much every other research we've had in the past, this one is only one step with five tasks to complete total.

Each of these tasks will reward you with Pokemon encounters though, as well as some Candy for completing them all.

You can see all of the tasks below for the Halloween Cup Timed Research, which have been provided by LeekDuck.

Step 1

  • Battle in the GO Battle League - Sableye encounter
  • Battle in the GBL 5 times - Yamask encounter
  • Win a Trainer Battle in the GO Battle League - Frillish encounter
  • Win 4 Trainer Battles in the GO Battle League - Umbreon encounter
  • Win 7 Trainer Battles in the GO Battle League - Galarian Yamask encounter
  • Rewards - 15x Yamask Candy, 15x Sableye Candy, 15x Scraggy Candy

And that does it for the Halloween Cup Timed Research in Pokemon GO. These are certainly some good rewards, especially with Pokemon like Frillish, Sableye, and Umbreon being good in the GO Battle League scene depending on the Cups being held at the time.

With the Halloween Cup itself going on, both Frillish and Umbreon are pretty relevant and can be good, so hopefully you can get some good IV Pokemon in those encounters.
