How to get the Gengar badge on Twitch

For Pokémon Night Out, Twitch and The Pokémon Company made a spooky new chat badge line: Gastly, Haunter and Gengar. You keep every stage, so you end up with all three ♡

Gastly Twitch chat badge from the Pokémon Night Out dropGastlyHaunter Twitch chat badge from the Pokémon Night Out dropHaunterGengar Twitch chat badge from the Pokémon Night Out dropGengar
  1. Sub or gift a sub. Between and , start a NEW sub or gift one on a channel that counts. Ours counts! That earns you a Pokémon Night Out Themed Poké Ball with the Gastly badge inside.1
  2. Start opening it right away. Watch for twenty minutes, and get at least one day of progress in by , or the ball can't be opened later.
  3. Any three days. Twenty minutes a day on three different days opens the ball. Finish by November 23 and Gastly is yours!
  4. Claim it. Hit claim in the Drops & More panel or on the notice in chat, or claim it later on your Twitch Drops Inventory.3
  5. Evolve it. Equip Gastly in Drops & More and watch three more days for Haunter, then equip Haunter and do it once more for Gengar.

Good to know

  • Prime subs don't count. In Twitch's own words: Prime subscriptions and renewals of an existing subscription don't count.1 A brand new sub or a gift sub does.
  • When you gift, YOU get the ball. The person you gift doesn't.
  • One ball per person, and watching alone can't earn this one.
  • Already subbed to us? Gift a sub instead and it still counts ♡

How to evolve your Twitch Pokémon badges

Got Pichu or a starter from the First Partners badges this summer? Since October 16 they evolve just by watching, no new sub needed, and you keep the earlier badge too.2

  1. Open Drops & More in the chat on any channel that counts, like ours.
  2. Swap in your badge. Under Watch Drops, pick Swap and choose the badge to evolve. Only the equipped one makes progress.1
  3. Watch three days, twenty minutes a day. Then swap in the new badge and go again for the final stage!

Pokémon GO Night Out Twitch drop

This one isn't on our stream. It only drops while you watch the Pokémon Night Out show live on the official Pokémon Twitch channel, starting . You get a code for Timed Research, and finishing it gives your avatar an exclusive Pokémon Night Out baseball jersey.4

  1. Link your accounts first. Connect your Pokémon Trainer Club account to Twitch with Pokémon's Twitch Drops FAQ. Do it before the show!5
  2. Watch thirty minutes on Twitch. Minimizing the stream pauses your drop timer.
  3. Claim it on the pop-up in chat, or later on your Twitch Drops Inventory. On an iPhone, claim it in a web browser: Twitch says rewards for iPhone games can't be claimed in its iPhone app.3
  4. Get your code on rewards.pokemon.com: pick View Inventory, find the drop and choose Show Code.
  5. Redeem it on the Pokémon GO offer redemption page. One code per Trainer!

The show is part of Pokémon Night Out, live from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. There's a London show on November 10 too, but no drop has been announced for it yet.

When do the Pokémon Twitch drops end?

Twitch and Pokémon post these in Pacific Time. Pick your own time zone and every time on this page changes with it. Twitch lists the last two as dates only, with no time.1

  1. Pokémon GO jersey drop starts on the Pokémon channel
  2. Last chance to sub or gift for the Gastly ball, AND get one day of watching in
  3. Last day to open an old Pichu or starter ball
  4. November 23Last day to finish opening your Gastly ball
  5. January 30, 2027Last day to evolve any Pokémon badge

Where to claim your Twitch drops

Claim them here
On your Twitch Drops Inventory, in the Drops & More panel in chat, or on the claim notice in chat. Twitch keeps unclaimed rewards in your inventory for seven days after a campaign ends.3
Check a channel counts
Look for the Drops Enabled tag, or open Drops & More in its chat and make sure the Pokémon drop is listed. Ours has it!1
Where to watch
A computer browser or the Twitch app on your phone. Twitch's console and TV apps don't support drops.3
Your badges
They live in your Pokémon Collection, in the badge panel in chat, and they stay there after the event ends.1
Something stuck?
Twitch has a whole help page for the Pokémon badges.

Why earn them on our stream?

The badges count on any channel that counts, so pick one that gives you something back ♡

  • Free shiny Tera Raids. Join our raids in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet while your badge timer ticks.
  • Request almost any Pokémon. Type it in our chat and we line up your raid. See what you can request
  • Raids that pay out. Herba Mystica, Ability Patch and Exp. Candy raids, plus version exclusives from either game.
  • Every sub helps us grow. Subs, gifts and donations are how we keep the stream running and expand it so we can host raids for even more of you. A portion goes to helping people and local animal shelters, too.

Pokémon Twitch drops FAQ

How do I get the Gengar badge on Twitch?
Sub or gift a sub on a channel in a category that counts between October 16 and October 24 to get a Pokémon Night Out ball, open it into Gastly by watching twenty minutes a day for three days, then equip it and repeat to evolve it into Haunter and then Gengar.
Can I earn the Pokémon badges on the LoverGirlPlays stream?
Yes! We stream in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, which is one of the categories that counts, and the Pokémon drop shows up right in our chat. A new sub or a gifted sub on our channel gets you the Gastly ball, and watching us counts toward opening it and evolving every badge ♡
Why didn't my Prime sub give me a Gastly ball?
Twitch says Prime subs and renewals of a sub you already have don't count. A brand new paid sub or a gift sub does.
If someone gifts me a sub, do I get Gastly?
No, the person who GIFTS the sub earns the ball, not the person who gets it. So gifting is a sweet way to grab Gastly for yourself while spoiling someone else ♡
How long does it take to get Gengar?
At least nine days of watching: three days to open the Gastly ball, three more for Haunter and three more for Gengar. The days don't have to be in a row, and you have until January 30, 2027 to evolve.
How do I evolve my Pichu, Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle badge?
Open Drops & More in chat, Swap in the badge you want to evolve, and watch twenty minutes a day on three different days. It's free, no new sub needed.
Can I get more than one Gastly ball?
No, it's one Pokémon Night Out ball per person, from your first sub or gift in the window.
Do I have to watch the same channel every day?
Nope! Any channel in a category that counts works, and the days don't have to be in a row. A day is a rolling twenty four hours from when you start watching, and if you don't finish the twenty minutes in time, only that day starts over.
Do Pokémon Twitch drops work on my phone, TV or console?
Your phone, yes: use the Twitch app or a computer browser. Twitch says its apps on game consoles, smart TVs and other TV apps don't support Drops. On an iPhone, claim game rewards like the Pokémon GO jersey in a web browser, because Twitch's iPhone app can't claim rewards for iPhone games.
Do I need to link my Pokémon account for the badges?
No. The chat badges live on Twitch, so there's nothing to link. You only need to link a Pokémon Trainer Club account for game rewards like the Pokémon GO jersey.
Do I keep my badges after the event ends?
Yes. Twitch says badges you've already earned stay in your Pokémon Collection after a window closes.
I missed Pichu and the starters. Can I still get them?
Sadly no, that window closed on October 1. If you have a ball from it that you haven't opened yet, finish opening it by October 31, and you can still evolve any of those badges you already have.
Is there a Scarlet & Violet or Legends: Z-A Twitch drop right now?
Not right now. The last in-game drops came with the World Championships in August and those have all expired. When a new one drops, we'll add it here!
