Pokemon Go fans are waiting for brand new Gen 3 Pokemon to join the app as part of the Halloween 2017 event.
A recent Pokemon Company statement suggested that new ghost-type Pokemon would be joining the app as part of Halloween.
The rumours started with a recent blog post teasing the upcoming festivities.
“The Halloween season is a special time in Pokemon Go,” the post reads.
“Plenty of good stuff is coming to the game later this October, and we can’t wait to get out and about to see what sort of excitement we can scare up while catching new Pokemon to fill out our Pokedex.”

Express Online has put together a list of all the Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 Ghost-type Pokemon that could be included as part of the Halloween 2017 event.
Check out the full list below…
As previously reported, Gen 3 source code was recently discovered by Pokemon Go dataminers, which must surely mean that new Pokemon are on their way.
Gen 3 Ghost Types include Shuppet, Banette, Mega Banette, Duskull and Dusclops, which is a nice selection for a limited time event.
Pokemon Go developer Niantic is yet to make any official announcements, so stay tuned for more information.
What’s more certain is that Niantic has big plans for the app in the future.
A Pokemon Company spokesperson recently told Bloomberg that Niantic isn’t evenย close to being finished with Pokemon Go.
In addition to Gen 3 Pokemon, new items and Ex Raid Battles involving Legendaries like Mewtwo, Niantic is also working on player-vs-player combat and trading.
That’s according to Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara, who said: “Weโve only accomplished 10% of what Pokemon and Niantic are trying to do, so going forward we will have to include fundamental Pokemon experiences such as Pokemon trading and peer-to-peer battles, and other possibilities.
