Personal Experiences and Tips:
In my experience, events like these are a fantastic opportunity to engage with the Pokémon Go community. Last year, I joined a local raid group to take down Gigantamax Gengar, and it was a blast! We coordinated our attacks and celebrated our victory together. This year, I’m aiming to catch as many costumed Pokémon as possible, especially the adorable Witch Hat Pikachu.
