Full Report
Pokémon GO’s Halloween 2026 Part I runs from October 27 at 10:00 a.m. through November 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time. It debuts Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet, Zubat wearing a top hat, and Sinistea wearing a bow; all three may appear in Shiny form. Tapping spooky surprises in the wild may award event encounters or Rare Candy. Other possible wild encounters include Duskull and Halloween Mischief-costumed Piplup and Drifblim, while One-Star Raids will feature the new costumed Pikachu and Sinistea.
The Halloween 2026 GO Pass and GO Pass Deluxe are available from October 27 at 10:00 a.m. through November 5 at 8:00 p.m. local time. Unlocked rewards expire November 7 at 8:00 p.m. Tier 1 at Rank 10 unlocks 2× Candy for catching Pokémon, or 3× with Deluxe; Tier 2 at Rank 20 unlocks 2× Stardust, or 3× with Deluxe. The listed price for GO Pass Deluxe is US$7.99. A Deluxe upgrade with 10 Ranks costs US$9.99 and grants enough GO Points to reach Rank 11.
Part I is the first half of this year’s two-part Halloween event. The announced Part II runs November 1–5, with Shiny Greavard’s in-game debut and the first opportunity to raise Mega Sableye to Super Max Mega Level. The two event windows meet on November 1, while the GO Pass reward-claim deadline extends beyond Part II.
Why This Matters
The event combines limited-time encounters with GO Pass bonuses tied to specific Rank milestones. Players aiming for the Candy or Stardust multipliers will need to account for both the pass window and the later deadline for claiming unlocked rewards.
