Ghost Pokemon gave me a different experience in Pokemon 👻. Their maneuvers and tactics have given me new adventures in the game. I particularly loved luring them and catching them.
Ghost Pokemon are rare since they often appear at night; hunting them was a different adventure that introduced me to new ways of playing the game.
Recently, I was chatting with my buddies, and one told me how much he fears ghost Pokemon.
I was surprised to learn how many people do not know about ghost Pokemon, which makes them avoid them altogether.
This inspired me to write about ghost Pokemon so that other people can learn from me.
What weather does Ghost Pokemon come out? 👻 👺
Ghost Pokemon are rare and only appear in particular weather conditions since they are weather-boosted Pokemon.
Ghost Pokemon are more likely to come out in foggy weather since the weather boosts them. Foggy weather is not quite typical, especially in warm seasons. This makes spotting and catching ghost Pokemon quite difficult.
This is also coupled with the fact that they often come out at night. So, if it is foggy outside, it is a good idea to get into the game and hunt ghost Pokemon, especially if it is recognized in the game.
The real-time weather of the gamer is often the in-game weather, so it is easy to tell when they will be appearing.
Do Ghost Pokemon only spawn at night? 🌕 ✨
Ghost Pokemon are not just boosted by weather conditions but also by time. Ghost Pokemon often appear at night. However, ghost Pokemon do not spawn at night only but also during the day.
It is just that they spawn far less often than at night.
Ghost Pokemon may spawn during the day, especially if the weather conditions are suitable for them to appear.
Moreover, ghost Pokemon may appear during the day during the Halloween season 🎃. Halloween presents an excellent season for ghost Pokemon of all kinds to spawn, making them appear even during the day.
In addition, luring ghost Pokemon can also cause them to appear during the day, especially if the weather is right.
Therefore, ghost Pokemon do not spawn at night only.
How to lure and catch Ghost Pokemon in Pokemon Go?
If you cannot see a ghost Pokemon, you can lure and catch them through various techniques. You can use incense to attract and catch ghost Pokemon.
You can use daily or regular incense to draw them; moreover, you can use a normal lure on a pokestop. Incense lures attract the Pokemon to your feet, and they appear every five minutes with a pink smoke ring. However, they are not drawn to glacial, mossy, magnetic, or rainy lures.
Moreover, a golden lure on a pokestop may lure ghost Pokemon like Gimmighoul. In addition, you can use the coin bag to catch Gimmighoul, especially if you have someone with a switch and Pokemon Scarlet or Violet.
Where to find Ghost-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO 🔎 🧐
Ghost Pokemon are often seen at night. The best time to catch them is between 8 pm and 8 am. However, there are some locations where one is likely to find ghost-type Pokemon.
One such place is near the nest of the desired ghost-type Pokemon. You need to locate their nests and raid them to catch them.
Nests are particular areas in Pokemon Go where a specific Pokemon is more likely to spawn.
Moreover, one can find ghost Pokemon by raiding 🔫. Raiding, fighting, and defeating the leader of a particular gym can allow you to access ghost Pokemon.
However, these raids are often difficult, and you may not catch or see the ghost Pokemon. Finally, ghost Pokemon are said to be frequently seen in churches and urban areas.
