Halloween 2026 Part II

The second part of Halloween runs from 1 to 5 November and brings Shiny Greavard to Pokémon GO for the first time. Mega Sableye can now be raised to Super Max Level, with an extra Charged Attack when Mega Evolved. Look for Greavard and costumed Pokémon such as Rowlet and Gengar in the wild, costumed Pikachu and Sinistea in one-star raids, and claim a free Timed Research that rewards a costumed Sinistea.

Event bonuses

  • Mega Sableye can reach Super Max Level. It must first be at Max Level, then be powered up with Sableye Mega Energy, as Mega Evolving alone is not enough
  • Mega Evolved Sableye can use an extra Charged Attack, Night Shade+ (55 power in Trainer Battles, 160 in raids), which gets stronger as its Mega Level rises
  • Free Timed Research, completed automatically, rewarding 6 Rare Candies and an encounter with Sinistea wearing a bow
  • Event-themed Field Research tasks

GO Pass

The GO Pass runs from 27 October at 10:00 to 5 November at 20:00 local time, and its rewards must be claimed by 7 November at 20:00. Bonus tasks will be added during the event.
