The Halloween Event 2019 lasts from now until November 1 at 1 p.m. PDT. During that time, more ghost- and dark-type Pokemon will appear in the wild, Eggs and in Raids. This includes the newly added Unova region ghost-type Pokemon Yamask and its evolution, Cofagrigus. Yamask’s shiny form has also been added to the game. The Mythical Pokemon Darkrai has appeared for the first time ever in five-star Raids, and will be available to fight and catch for the duration of the event.
Certain Pokemon will appear in the wild with special costumes as well during the event. This includes Bulbasaur wearing a Shedinja hood, Charmander wearing a Cubone hood, Squirtle wearing a Yamask hat and Pikachu wearing a Mimikyu costume. According to Niantic, they also have a rare chance of appearing in their shiny forms in addition to wearing special costumes.
For the duration of the event, players will get twice the Candy for catching, hatching and transferring Pokemon.
A new Special Research quest involving Spiritomb has also been added, and it’s the same as last year’s quest. For a step-by-step guide to the new Special Research quest, “A Spooky Message 2019,” click here.
