Pokémon Go’s Halloween Part I event treats us to Giratina’s Signature move, Mega Banette, and shiny versions for Galarian Yamask and Noibat
The highly anticipated Pokémon Go Halloween event is right around the corner. This year, it will start on October 20 at 10 AM in players’ local time zone, and everyone will have the chance to encounter Mega Banette in mega raids, along with the opportunity for shiny Galarian Yamask and Noibat encounters. It will be a two-part event, and the second part will happen on October 27, with even more surprises. Giratina will appear in five-star raids throughout the event, and you can teach it its signature move, Shadow Force.
Mega Banette will be the latest mega Pokémon to arrive in the mobile game. Players can earn Mega energy for this Pokémon by defeating it in mega raids that appear throughout the event. Because these are more difficult encounters, we recommend working alongside other trainers to defeat Mega Banette.

The shiny versions for Galarian Yamask and Noibat will also be available for this event and moving forward. Galarian Yamask will appear in one-star raids, with a chance to find it by completing Field Research tasks. Noibat will be more challenging to find. It will only appear in 7 km eggs, which players receive by exchanging gifts. The 7 km egg will need to be received during the Halloween event for a chance of it to hatch.
In addition to these two focuses, Giratina will return to five-star raids during the Halloween event. If players defeat and capture this Pokémon during the event, it will learn the charged attack, Shadow Force, and Giratina’s signature move. Unfortunately, we don’t have the stats on this Ghost-type move, but it could be an option to make Giratina even more fearsome moving forward.
There will be a Special Research available during the Halloween event
