Top 4 Reasons why you shouldnt miss the latest Pokemon Go's Halloween Update!

Millions of users have expressed their disappointment in the lack of features such as Trading, Gen 2 Pokemons, Battling other Traders and Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Go. This has led many users to temporarily shelf the game aside till one of these features kick in. 

Before you put away your App, stay tuned to the following news!

From October 26th to November 1st, Niantic Labs has launched a new Halloween update that brings more incentives for why you should go "Pokemon Go" during the Halloween.


1)           Double the candy rewards
Halloween will never be better than getting double the candy for catching Pokemon, transferring Pokemon to Prof. That means its 2x times faster to evolve your Magikarp to Gyrados.

2)           More Sightings of Pokemons from Lavender Town
Tired of seeing the usual Pidgeys, Rattatas, Weddle, Venonat and Caterpie.  One more reason to rejoice is because is their place who be our friendly Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Drowzee, Hypno,Cubones, Marowaks and Meowths 



3)           More Buddy Times
Pokémon GO has designed the system in such a way, such that you only have to catch a single Pokemon in order to level it up. They do so by dividing the total distance you need to walk with your buddy by four. That’s 0.25 km/0.75 km/1.25 km for the 1/3/5 km tiers. An example is my buddy Electrabuzz, who generate a candy every 1.25km.


4)           Getting a Gengar
There is no reason not to have a gengar even if you do not encountered one. With so many gastly and haunter to catch and with the double candy rewards, you can easily accumulated enough candys to evolved your Gastly to Haunter (25 candies) and Haunter to Gengar (100 candies).

Gengar is one of the strongest Pokemon in Pokemon Go, especially those with the Sludge Bomb skillset and there is no reason why not to add one of those Gengar to your line-up.

Fancy this rare BadS Buddy Pokemon! Catch one of it to be your buddy! Limited Time Only


Electric Pokemon are known as the Legendary Cookie Cutter in every Pokemon games so far. Gyradados, Charlizards, Vaporeons and other strong Pokemon are not so touch after all in the face of an Electric Pokemon.

This applies to Pokemon Go to. And in case you haven't had your buddy Pikachu yet! This is the best time to land one BadS Pokemon, Electabuzz. According to a reliable source, Electabuzz is considered as an "A-Tier". It can go as far as 2119 CP and it had a high attack rating. Globally, it had a capture rate of 0.074%. 

I had a very rare chance to encounter one in Mount Faber Safra and recognizing that i may had no other chance to find another Electabuzz in the wild,  i immediately tagged it as my buddy to gain Candy. This is not the case for now. We have spotted a Nest, and in just a day, you can as many Electabuzz as you want.


Location of Spoils of War!

So where can this rare Electabuzz be found?
Surprisingly, it is found in one of the most unexpected place in Singapore. Tanjong Pagar Estate. 
When you walked up the stairs from Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market towards Yan Kit Road, you may spot Electabuzz waiting for you. Concidentally, the Electabuzz level is pretty low around that area.


As we ventured nearer to Duxton Plain Park, that is where we spotted more occurence of Electabuzz. With more occurrence, the chances of finding higher level Electabuzz increased. 



 Electabuzz,I Choose You!

Just because Electabuzz is rare doesnt make it a number 1 starter in your line-up. There is so many Pokemons which are rare too. One of the reason why Electabuzz is so bad$ is because of its painful Thunder Attack! It dealt a damage of 100 whopping hit points. And with his insane attack speed, couple with the small cool-down timing of Thunder Shock, it makes it seems like you are throwing infinite thunder punches!

The fast attack speed plus small cool-down timing of Thunder shock is what makes dodging easily , overcoming its weakness in low Max HP and moderate defence. Why take huge damage when you can simply dodged it. What is Dragonite Hyper Beam, feel my wrath of Thunder!!!!

Limited Time Only

Good Things doesn't last forever. This applies to Pokemon Go too. Previously what is makes Tanjong Pagar a haven, is its nesting spots for Kabuto. Gone are the days, of finding a Kabuto in Tanjong Pagar, thanks to Nest Migration.

Catch your Electabuzz now while its still there. To sweeten the deal, the walking distance of our buddy is reduced from 3km to 1.25km during the halloween period. Choose him now!!!!

1st Lucky Egg Strategy Plus a Very Unusual Way to Gain More XP

As promised, when you finally reached the milestone! Level 20, it is time to use your lucky eggs and quickly ascend to the next level. I believe you have heard of the pidgeys spam but things are not so simple. Here are a few tips and tricks to go around maximizing your yield.

Things to do before you start using your lucky eggs.
1. Battery Life
Ensure you have sufficient battery as you don't want your phone to suddenly die on you when you are evolving halfway.

2. Turn off your Power-saving mode
It is good to be on power-saving mode, as it conserve your battery. But the last thing you want is for the screen to go off while you are in the middle of evolving and you have to waste that precious time trying to wait for it to detect the GPS again.

3.Ensure you have enough Pidgeys
As we are doing a mass evolving of Pidgeys, the last thing you want to end up with is no Pidgeys to evolve. Make sure you have a sufficient stock of Pidgey candies (at least 240) and 50 Pidgeys.

What i am going to share will be very unorthodox. But it worked very well for me especially!
Gaining the New Pokemon Bonus!

Which Pokemon is the best sources of such techniques:
Common Pokemon: Poliwhirl, Seaking, Ferrarow, Gastly, Nidorino and Nidorina.
Less Common Pokemon: Evolved form of Eevee
Rarer Pokemon: Starter Pokemon

From the start, we have to refrain from catching the evolved form of the Pokemon listed above. Mostly they are the second form of Pokemon.

Secondly, we have to refrain from evolving the above Pokemon, especially Evee. I am pretty sure that the evolved form is very rare outside.

If you do it right, when you use the lucky egg, instead of the usual 500 XP when evolving Pokemon. You will get 500 XP + 500 XP for new Pokemon in Pokedex, with the 2x multiplier from Lucky Egg, you will get 2000 XP.
