October is always a fantastically spooky month in Pokémon GO, so of course we had to run our annual Halloween theme for the AR showcase! Last year we got so many awesome spooky submissions, we knew this year would be brilliantly creepy too.

‘Duskull at Dawn’ by PoGoMiloUKYT, UK.

‘Darkest Day’ by Project Origato, Georgia, USA.
‘This AR shots illustrates my take on Giratina Origin form’s, well uh origin. Dark magic pieces the air over the grave of a prominent statesman. A dagger-like claw emerges from the sun over looking the grave. Then suddenly, as the sun rises to its highest point, the ghostly figure fully transcends into the mortal plane. No one knows where it came from or why it’s here. No one foolish enough to find the answers has ever returned…’
‘Haunted fields’ by ElKhan32, Essex, UK.
‘Unleash the darkness. Feel the night creeping, unleash the power of night’
By ShawnDidIt, St. Charles, Missouri, USA.

‘I’d hate to be in this Misdreavus’ hit list.’

‘When you take a look at your future and you see a Duskull, you know someone is pranking you.’
