All Pokémon Go Litwick Community Day Field Notes: Tricks of the Light Research tasks and rewards

The candle burns eerier than ever.

Would you prefer a ghostly purple or pale blue candle to guide you to the spirit world? That is a question Pokémon Go players can ask during October’s Litwick Community Day now that the Ghost/Fire-type’s Shiny variant is available to catch. 

Recommended Videos

The Halloween-adjacent event will run from 2pm to 5pm local time on Oct. 15 and feature the Candle Pokémon spawning more frequently across the board. 

Some of the standard bonuses apply for this event, such as triple Catch XP, double Catch Candy, and double the chance for trainers level 31 and up to receive XL Candy from catching Pokémon will be active—along with the usual three-hour Lure Modules and Incensedurations. Trainers who evolve Litwick’s evolution Lampent into a Chandelure during the event, or up to five hours after it ends, will also receive a Chandalure that knows the Charged Attack Poltergeist.

Bonus Battle Raids will be running after the event ends from 5pm to 10pm local time, which means players who battle and defeat Lampent in Raids will see an influx of Litwicks in the surrounding area for 30 minutes following a successful battle. Community Day Shiny odds will apply to those encounters too.

There will be the usual Special Research ticket for sale for $1 that will grant access to an exclusive Special Research story, Field Notes: Tricks of the Light. Event-exclusive Field and Timed Research will also be live, and here are all of the research tasks and rewards tied to all three sets.
