Where To Find Ghost Pokemon In Pokemon Go 2022
Looking for Spooky Friends? Ghost Pokemon in Pokemon Go (2022)
Okay, let's be honest. We all want a Gengar, right? Or maybe a super cool Dusknoir? Finding those ghost types can feel like a real chore though.
So, where do you find these spectral buddies in Pokemon Go? I have some... opinions.
The Obvious Answer: At Night (Duh!)
Yeah, I know. Groundbreaking. Everyone says they show up more at night. But, and this might be unpopular... I don't always find it to be that much better.
Must Read
Like, sure, maybe one extra Gastly pops up. But I’m also more likely to trip over something in the dark. Worth it? I’m not always convinced.
Maybe I’m just unlucky? Let me know if you’re a nighttime ghost-catching PRO!
The Halloween Event: The Ghost Bonanza
This is the BEST time, hands down. The Halloween event is where it's at. Seriously, they practically throw Ghost Pokemon at you during this time.
Keep an eye out in October! Load up on those Ultra Balls and get ready to grind.
Think of it as a spooky candy buffet. But instead of candy, it's ghost types. Delicious!
Haunted (Allegedly) Places: Graveyards, Malls, and Old Buildings
The game description always says graveyards are good. And… sometimes they are?
I've spent hours wandering around cemeteries and gotten nothing but pigeons. I'm starting to think the pigeons are the real ghosts.
Malls? Old buildings? Worth a shot, I guess. But don't expect to find a Shiny Spiritomb just chilling in the food court. (Although, wouldn't that be awesome?)
Incense and Lures: The Artificial Haunt
Incense can help. Throw one on and walk around. You might lure something spooky to you. It's basically like putting out a "Ghost Pokemon Welcome" mat.
Lures are similar but affect everyone around the PokeStop. Team up with friends for maximum ghost-catching power!
Just remember, it's all RNG. You might get lucky. You might get a dozen Pidgey. Welcome to Pokemon Go!
Weather Boost: Fog is Your Friend
Foggy weather can boost Ghost Pokemon spawns. So, if you live somewhere foggy (like… everywhere in the UK, maybe?), you’re in luck.
Pay attention to the weather in the game. It can make a big difference. Plus, walking around in the fog is already pretty spooky, right?
Stay safe though! Don't go wandering into the woods in the middle of the night. For a Haunter? Maybe, but still, be careful.
Research Tasks: The Guaranteed Catch
Keep an eye out for research tasks that reward Ghost Pokemon. These are often the easiest ways to get specific ones, especially if they're rare.
The Professor Willow research tasks sometimes have special requirements. Like spinning a specific stop, so be sure to read what the request is.
Plus, it's nice to have a guaranteed catch, right? No fleeing Sableye drama. We love that.
Raids: Challenge the Big Ghosts
Raids are another way to get your hands on powerful Ghost Pokemon. Keep an eye out for raids featuring Gengar, Giratina, or other spooky bosses.
Team up with other trainers to take them down. It's always more fun to battle together (and way easier to win!).
And the satisfaction of beating a tough raid boss and catching a powerful ghost? Priceless.
Eggs: The Waiting Game
Some Ghost Pokemon can hatch from eggs. Check which eggs are currently hatching which Pokemon. Then cross your fingers for a good one!
Hatching eggs can be a bit of a gamble. But hey, that's half the fun, right? (Or half the frustration…)
I mean, who doesn't love the anticipation of waiting for an egg to hatch? Especially when you're hoping for a rare ghost type.
My Unpopular Opinion: Just Be Patient!
Okay, here's my controversial take. Sometimes, the best way to find Ghost Pokemon is to just... keep playing. Don't stress too much about min-maxing every spawn.
They'll pop up eventually. Enjoy the game. Catch other Pokemon. Explore your surroundings.
And when that Shiny Shuppet finally appears? It'll be even sweeter because you weren't desperately searching for it.
Happy Hunting!
