Ready for a spooky version of Pokémon Go? It is the season, after all! And players have come to expect it.
Pokémon Go is celebrating its 10th Halloween event this month, and in the name of all things spooky, the long-running critter-catching mobile title has not one, but two celebrations planned.
Here’s everything to expect from each part, including the featured Pokémon, Raid bosses, and more.
When is Pokémon Go’s Halloween event?
Niantic has confirmed that the Pokémon Go Halloween event will begin on 21st October.
As mentioned above, the Halloween event is split into two parts this year, with the first running from 10am on 21st October through until 27th October.
Part 2 arrives at 10am on 27th October and runs through Halloween itself until 2nd November at 8pm local time.

Part 1
Part 1 introduces Poltchageist and Sinistcha as the new Pokémon included, while Sinistea and Polteageist will get shiny variants.
Raid bosses include Galarian Yamask, Sinister, and Polchageist, as well as Alolan Marowak, Hisuian Typhlosion and Hisuian Samurott.
Team Rocket’s Shadow ‘mon include Yamask and Phantump, while there are new stickers and avatar items, too.
Part 2
We’ll be honest, Part 2 sounds much more exciting. Teddiursa, Ursaring, Ursaluna, Noibat and Noivern have Halloween outfits, and all can be found in shiny variants.
Raid bosses included Halloween Mischief versions of Pikachu, Drifblim and Piplup, as well as Trick & Treats Gengar, Sinistea (with a chance of a shiny one to appear) and Poltchageist.
Players will also find themed Pokémon in 7km eggs, and you’ll get an increased chance of snagging Rare Candy and Rare Candy XL for catching costumed Pokémon on October 31 with Nice throws or better.
The GO Pass for Halloween 2025 has the following rewards for reaching milestones, too:

Speaking of store purchases, there’s a rather fetching Polteageist Hat up for grabs, seen above. Who wouldn't want that?
