Spooky Cipher Pokémon Go Explained. How to Complete the Tasks Easily?

Is Pokémon Go your favorite AR game? If it is, then you know about the Spooky Cipher Pokémon Go event. If you don't, you may want to check it out. It's full of exciting field research tasks. I must admit these tasks are quite challenging. You need persistence and patience to figure them out, but the rewards are worth it.

Read this guide to learn more regarding this Pokémon Go Spooky Cipher event. I'll tell you the various tasks it offers and how to find them, and share my own special tips and tricks you can use to complete the tasks easily. Let's jump in.

What is Spooky Cipher in Pokémon Go all about?

We get special events and challenges in Pokémon Go every time and again. The Spooky Cipher is one such special event. It's a limited-time event that was only introduced recently (2021) and it's usually available when the Go Tour: Hoenn event takes place. It offers various special field research tasks which may involve catching certain kinds of Pokémon or battling in raids using certain items. These tasks come hidden in ciphers and once you complete them, you may receive rewards like Poke Balls, berries, and even have an encounter with rare Pokémon.

What makes it special then? The Cipher Decoding Challenge is what stands out the most in this Spooky Cipher Pokémon Go event. It makes it more challenging because you need decoding skills as well as a good knowledge of Pokémon to figure out the tasks and unlock the rewards.

Pokémon Go Spooky Cipher Field Research Tasks

While participating in the Go Tour: Hoenn event when playing the Pokémon Go, you may spin a PokeStop and get a special field research task that has part of the letters blocked out. Such tasks are what are known as Spooky Cipher field research tasks.

The process of completing these tasks is not different from that of other field research tasks. They offer a challenge which you need to finish and from there, you're rewarded encounters with the Gen 3 ghost-type Pokémon.

But, what exactly do these Spooky Ciphers require you to do? That's the big question, so here are all the Spooky Ciphers plus the rewards they offer.

• Catch Pokémon using 5 Berries. Reward – encounter with Duskull.
• Perform 5 Excellent Throws one after another. Reward – encounter with Sableye.
• Move 5 Pokémon. Reward – encounter with Shuppet.
• Evolve the Nincada candy. Reward – encounter with Shedinja.

Ways of Finding Cipher Field Research Tasks

I know what Cipher field research tasks are. Now, how can I find them? You can find them in various places, but PokeStops are a good place to start. If you go to a PokeStop, you'll likely get a special field research task that comes from the Cipher Field event. You should look out for special symbols that are related to the event as that's where these tasks are usually hidden.

Interacting with other Pokémon players is another way you can find the Spooky Cipher research Pokémon Go tasks. You'll get players that are ready to share their own field research tasks with you hence allowing you to access new challenges that you can complete. I would also recommend you get into social media and online forums. You may learn what other players are doing and have an idea or two on how to go about your own research.

Tips and Tricks: Ways to Complete Pokémon Go Spooky Cipher Tasks

There are plenty of opportunities to catch rare Ghost-type Pokémon in the Spooky Cipher event. But, you need useful tips to get such rare Pokémon and we have some of them below.

• The letters used in the ciphers are those found in the Pokémon alphabet.
• When you complete the tasks, the rewards are encounters with Shuppet, Duskull, Sableye, and Shedinja.
• You'll need sufficient Nincada candy as you'll have to evolve one. How can I get more Nincada candy? By catching or transferring Nincada, or evolving Nincada into Shedinja.
• Sharpen your curveball throws throwing skills. Start your practice with the easy-to-catch Pokémon like Rattata and Pidgey. When you're able to consistently make great curveball throws, move to more challenging Pokémon like Rhyhorn and Skarmory.
• Practice how to use berries to help you catch Pokémon. You can use any berry, but I would suggest the Golden Razz Berries as they are the most effective.
