Pokémon Go ‘Halloween 2024 Part 2’ event guide

10 hours ago 16

Pokémon Go’s 2024 Halloween event continues with Halloween 2024 Part 2, running from Oct. 28 until Nov. 3. The event brings back a ton of costumed Pokémon, as well as introduces two new costumed creatures: Froakie and Rowlet.

The event also features some pretty good candy bonuses: doubled candy for catching Pokémon and an increased chance to get XL Candy when you hit nice throws or better (as long as you’re level 31 or higher). Costumed Pokémon will also have a chance to drop rare candy when caught with a nice throw or better.

There are also increased chances to find Pokémon shiny, specifically when you raid or hatch eggs, which we detail more below.

Below we list all the event Field Research, spawns, and other perks for Pokémon Go’s Halloween Part 2 event.

Update (Oct. 30): Niantic has taken the Halloween costume Gengar out of raids and made it a Field Research reward instead. The information below has been updated to reflect this.
