The best way players can get their effort's worth in this event is through the different Raid Battles that will be offered during it. Umbreon, Yamask, and Sableye will all be available as Raid Bosses during these events, and they all have the potential to perform wonderfully in Pokemon GO's Battle League.

For those looking to invest some money into the game for the occasion, two different timed research tickets can be purchased. The $5 USD ticket will feature a 3x multiplier to capture candies, as well as various rewards like early access to costumed creatures from the second part of the event and a Morpeko costume for the player avatar.

A $2 ticket can also be purchased that rewards players with different costumed Pokemon. This can be a great option for those who missed out on costumed creatures from previous Halloween events, or those who are interested in these types of pocket monsters.

With this information, players will want to stock up on Raid Passes, Pokeballs, and healing items. Raid Passes and healing items can make grinding these valuable Raid Battles as easy and seamless as possible. Pokeballs are great for the rare event counters players can find.
