Pokémon Go is getting extra spooky around Halloween this year with new ghost-type Pokémon and a witch hat for Pikachu.

The Pokémon Go Halloween event lasts from Oct. 20 to Nov. 2, introducing the first third-generation (gen III) Pokémon to the game, Pikachus wearing witch hats, extra Candy items for leveling up Pokémon, and a creepy Mimikyu hat for player avatars.

The new gen III ghost-type Pokémon coming to the game are Sableye, Banette, Shuppet, Dusclops, and Duskull. A truly scary group of Pokémon.
