Event dates
From Wednesday, October 21 at 16:30 UTC (18:30 in Spain, 00:30 Oct 22 in Beijing) to Wednesday, November 4 at 17:30 UTC — two weeks, the same as Season 2. While it lasts, the main menu turns Halloween with a full moon, a graveyard, pumpkins and its own music.
The 7 floors
- Floor 1 Entrance Hall
- Floor 2 Hall of Tombstones
- Floor 3 Hall of Mist
- Floor 4 Snuffed Candles
- Floor 5 Purified Zone
- Floor 6 Marowak's Shadow
- Floor 7 The Summit
Each floor has three waves, with the floor's boss on the third. After The Summit comes the Gate to the Beyond.
How the Tower plays
- Floors & waves
- Climb the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town floor by floor: three waves per floor, with the boss on the third.
- "GHOST!"
- Veiled ghosts only the Silph Scope reveals. Light candelabras to see and heal, play trick-or-treat at Gengar's tombstones and hold out in the sacred circle.
- Ghost Marowak
- Calm it with the three memorial candles and a Cubone joins you.
- Gengar, Lord of the Tower
- The final boss: Double Team, Blackout and Dream Eater.
- The Gate to the Beyond
- After the rooftop, endless floors with curses you choose yourself — this decides the event leaderboard.
Bring a Silph Scope if you can. In Season 2 it is also a regular item (Epic): it marks the toughest nearby enemy for +40% damage — and in the Tower it reveals veiled ghosts.
Candles and rewards
- Every run (in the Tower and in other modes) earns Candles for the 10-step Book of Candles.
- Book of Candles rewards: titles, Stardust, the Lavender Candle frame, avatars, Cubone and Gengar costumes, and the Spectral look — a ghostly skin for any League member.
- 7 event achievements.
- Rank rewards on the event and clan leaderboards: the Spectral Crown frame, the King of the Night title and more.
- During the event the main menu turns Halloween, with its own music.
Status: the event starts with Season 2. This guide follows the official announcement; we will add floor-by-floor tips and screenshots after playing it.
