Pokemon Go's Halloween Event Introduces Mega Banette And Two New Shinies
The spooky season is upon us and Pokemon Go has announced the first part of its upcoming Halloween event which is set to begin on October 20 10am local time, running through until October 27 10am local time.
In a new post on the official Pokemon Go website (thanks Serebii), several new additions coming to the game have been detailed, including the introduction of Mega Banette as well as Shiny versions of both Noibat and Galarian Yamask. In addition to both of those Pokemon, 7km eggs also have the possibility to hatch into Goletts or Phantumps. Wild encounters also have a spooky theme, as you'll encounter Pokemon such as Gastly, Dusclops, Sableye, Misdreavus, and a heck of a lot more Ghost-Types on your travels.

The subject of this event's Five-Star Raids will be Altered Forme Giratina, which also has the possibility to be Shiny.
