Halloween festivities are currently in the process of taking overPokemon GO, but it won’t be long untila new month of events roll outand lead into the rest of the holiday season for the mobile AR game. November is sure to include a handful of events in addition to the usual Community Day to help all players celebrate the late fall, but one particular event early in the month is going to be exclusive to Verizon customers.

Events like this can cause some frustration for players who may feel left out, but luckily there are no rewards that other players haven’t had plenty of chances to obtain. The most exciting bounty up for grabs on the special day is likely the 100 Charizard Mega Energy. That amount ofMega Energy can be obtained a number of different ways, but this seems like a very easy way to pick up a quick stockpile of the valuable resource.
