hi losers. look at the lab skitty.

Since my PSA about handling Summer with your team blew up quite a bit, I thought I'd make another about enjoying Halloween with them instead.

1. Perhaps one of the biggest ones I can give to start is DON'T CATCH OR PURCHASE GHOST TYPES, DARK TYPES, OR ANY OTHER "SPOOKY" POKEMON JUST FOR THE HOLIDAY. Every year, tons of these pokemon end up in shelters by December after countless people get them just for Halloween, and a good chunk of them end up there BEFORE Haloween, too! These pokemon are not only a commitment, but they don't inherently know how to celebrate human holidays, and may not like the attention or being reserved as a living decoration and act out.

2. Going hand in hand with the last one: Do not assume pokemon know how to celebrate the holiday. Wild pokemon do not know you're scaring them because it is a festive activity, and will react as though they're being attacked. Your pokemon may be scared of your costume or decorations. Your pokemon may mess up your costume or decorations. While ghost types seem a lot more common as Halloween grows near, this is because A) Fall is a lot of ghost types breeding season and B) Ghost types are almost like Halloween mascots so people let theirs out and whatnot. They are not appearing cause they wanna get their spooky on, but they do tend to enjoy being a little mischievous. A little bit. Do not drag random ghosts you don't know into your pumpkin smashing or house egging.

3: Be mindful of the fact that Haloween is most popular with literal children and seen as a holiday mostly only enjoyed by them. I know 80% of Rotumblr is hex maniacs and other sorts of goths, but you have to remember most people see it as a thing for kids, and there's gonna be a ton of kids out and about. I don't care how you're mindful about it, just be mindful about it. Remember that kids get very scared easily, and may not understand your pokemon is harmless. Remember that they might be too scared of your decorations to come up to your house. Remember that they will be trick or treating, and most houses are expecting to give candy to children only. This isn't to say you cannot enjoy Halloween as well, however you should remember that if you, a grown ass adult with no children, goes trick or treating alone there will be several houses that tell you no.

4. On that note, Be careful if you're taking your anyone Trick Or Treating. I know you're all tired of hearing "razor blades in candy" and candy being swapped for drugs, but do be careful with candy. If it looks like it's been open, has a hole in the wrapper, or otherwise tampered with? Don't eat it. Homemade treats? You don't know what's in it or if it was made in a clean environment, don't eat it. I know you hear this every year and nothing ever happens but please be careful anyways. It might not be drugs or metal, but there could be something else that makes you sick even if it's just some dirt. Also, while the trend of pokemon trick ir treating is getting more popular each year, many houses will probably not give your pokemon a treat unless they're with kids, and many houses do not have safe treats for most pokemon. Do not get upset, just move on. Not everyone cares about your fraxure like you do. Same rules of checking to make sure the candy hasn't been tampered with apply.

5. Don't make your pokemon do anything they don't want to do. Don't make them wear a costume, don't make them be a decoration, don't make them go hand out candy with you. If your pokemon is not enjoying the activity or is showing signs of annoyance or distress, do not force them to continue. I know cute maching trainer and pokemon costumes are trendy, but if your pokemon does not want to match, don't make them wear it.

6. Remember that Anti-Ghost type and Anti-Dark type sentiments still exist. There are many people who believe Halloween is evil and satanic, and take it out on the pokemon they believe to be the same during the holiday and the lead up to it. Do not leave your pokemon outside unattended. Be wary of areas where people are known to dislike dark and ghost types. Keep their pokeball on hand incase they're attacked so you can recall them safely and escape. I know Halloween is often proclaimed as the spooky holiday and looked at fondly by people online, but people offline do not always feel that way. It's a sad truth. All you can do is take the steps to prevent your Yamask from having It's mask stolen or someone hurting your Purloin.

7. Some regions celebrate Halloween differently. Do not get upset if they don't celebrate it like you're used to. Trick or Treating is only really a thing in Alola, Unova, and Galar. While Paldea and Kalos do enjoy Halloween with it being fun for adults and kids alike, Trick Or Treating isn't much of a thing. You just kinda have a good time. Trick Or Treating isn't a thing in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh either, with it being seen as more of an adult thing where adults dress up and party together there. I'm Unovan, though, so take this with a grain of salt. Of course, you know what your region is like, so this is mostly for people who have moved or are visiting for Halloween.

Feel free to add anything you think is important I didn't cover!
