Pokémon Go's Halloween event adds a couple of surprising new features - Shiny-boosted eggs and two paid-for tickets
Pokémon Go's annual Halloween event is often one of its best activities and, as expected, this year features a number of new bits and pieces in-game. The event's first half, running from October 20th to 27th, features the arrival of Mega Banette in Mega Raids for the first time, plus the Shiny versions of Noibat and Galarian Yamask. But it also offers some more surprising additions.
Niantic is obviously trying something new here with a pair of different ticket options for the same overall event, as well as the fact these rewards will be time-limited - even if you paid. Typically, event questlines from Special Research remain in-game permanently, allowing you to complete them at your leisure.Another big change Niantic is quietly introducing here involves the event's egg pool.
So, what's the thinking here? Well, limiting the amount of time in which you can earn out your paid-for ticket rewards is a common enough strategy when it comes to seasonal battle pass mechanics. Putting a time limit on these quests encourages people to play and return to the game each day rather than leave tasks for later.
