Modes
Events
Limited-time modes for Pokémon GO events. They appear in the Events group while the event runs.
Info
Event modes come and go with app updates. A mode with an end date shows Until on its card and leaves the list after that day. This page covers the events in the current version.
Halloween Candy Boxes#
Jumps around a city and opens the Halloween boxes that hold Rare Candy. Nothing is caught or spun, and opening a box starts no travel cooldown.
- Reaching boxes: Hop around a city (default) moves between areas the account hasn't visited yet. Hop near the start point walks a route and hops onto each box.
- Rare Candy goal: off by default. Ends the account once it has collected the amount you set.
- Area: the centre (New York Midtown by default, a saved route or coordinates) and the radius to cover.
- Remember boxes across accounts: on by default, so the next account goes straight to the boxes found.
- Time limit: 15 minutes per account by default.

- Toxtricity: Random (default), Low Key or Amped. Only used on accounts that haven't chosen yet.
- Route: the Midtown Manhattan loop, or one of your saved routes (handy for an account on a travel cooldown).
- Evolve for tasks and Power up for tasks: on by default. Favourite, shiny, lucky, 100% IV, legendary and other special Pokémon are never used.
The raid task is left for the Raids mode.
