Summary
Oct. 27 marked the start of Pokémon GO’s two-part Halloween 2026 event, which runs through Nov. 5 with festive map effects, nightly Lavender Town music and event-themed encounters.
Part I lasts until Nov. 1 and centers on new costumes, including top-hatted Zubat in the wild and hat-and-cape Pikachu plus bow-wearing Sinistea in one-star raids, all with Shiny chances.
Nov. 1 to Nov. 5 shifts the focus to Shiny Greavard’s Pokémon GO debut, available in the wild, through Field Research and via the Halloween GO Pass.
The GO Pass adds progression rewards across both phases, unlocking 2x Catch Candy at Rank 10 and 2x Catch Stardust at Rank 20, rising to 3x each for Deluxe pass holders.
Mega Sableye also gains a battle upgrade in Part II: reaching Super Max Level lets eligible Mega Evolved Pokémon learn a second Charged Attack, giving Sableye Night Shade+.
