Hello! I would like to suggest a new item that can be bought during the Halloween Event to help with Trick-or-Treating.

For context, the item I’m referring to is the Silph Scope. In the Pokemon games, specifically Gen 1, it is a Key Item used to see the Ghost Types in Lavender Tower, allowing you to catch Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.

Quote from Bulbapedia

It allows the player to identify otherwise unidentifiable ghosts that appear inside the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, allowing the player to properly battle them and throw Poké Balls at them.

The encounter rate from a majority of other users’ experiences are a bit low, which is why I am proposing a new item for the Halloween Event Upgrades roster.

The Silph Scope on Pokeheroes, once bought, will increase the encounter rate of Retro Gastly, Retro Haunter, and Retro Gengar after every successful Trick-or-Treat. Depending on how much of a boost the encounter rate gets from the item, it will cost 400-2K Halloween Sweets, which should motivate other users to grind for it. You’ll still have to buy it again every year like all the other items, but it should make finding the Retro Gastly line easier, especially if you’re looking for a Shiny.

Thread has received Mod approval and is now open for discussion.
