Pokémon Go’s Halloween 2026 Part 2 event is running from 1 to 5 November, bringing back several costumed Pokémon and introducing shiny Greavard. The event also changes Mega Sableye’s progression and move set, giving trainers another reason to check raids, PokéStops and event research during the limited-time period.
Polygon reported that Mega Sableye can now reach Super Max Level as part of the second Halloween event. When Mega Evolved, it will know Night Shade+, including in cases where it was Mega Evolved before reaching that level. The event guide also notes that the Go Pass from “Halloween 2026 Part 1” remains active for the duration of Part 2.
Research rewards include Sinistea and Rare Candy
The event’s Timed Research is completed automatically when the game is opened. Its listed rewards include six Rare Candies and an encounter with Sinistea wearing a bow. The event also adds a separate set of Field Research tasks that can appear after spinning a PokéStop.
- Catching 13 Ghost-type Pokémon can lead to an encounter with Froakie wearing a witch hat, Rowlet in its Halloween costume or Greavard.
- Catching 13 Pokémon rewards 13 Mega Sableye Energy.
- Making six Nice Throws can lead to encounters with Litwick, Sandygast or Greavard.
- Winning one raid can lead to an encounter with Zubat wearing a top hat or Sinistea wearing a bow.
- Winning three raids can lead to an encounter with Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet.
Event spawns are also changing. More frequent appearances include Gengar wearing a witch hat, Shuppet, Litwick, Froakie wearing a witch hat, Rowlet in its Halloween costume, Sandygast and Greavard. The debut of shiny Greavard is the event’s main collection update, although encountering the shiny form remains tied to the game’s standard encounter system.
Raid targets during the second Halloween period
The raid schedule includes costumed and event-themed targets. One-star raids feature Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet and Sinistea wearing a bow. The event guide also lists the available raid changes alongside the Field Research and boosted-spawn updates, giving players several ways to encounter the returning costumed Pokémon.
