Pokémon GO's Halloween 2026 Part II runs from November 1 at 10 a.m. to November 5 at 8 p.m. local time. Niantic announced on October 8 that Mega Sableye can reach the new Super Max level for the first time, and that Greavard makes its Shiny debut. The free Halloween GO Pass starts earlier, on October 27.
What was announced
Niantic posted the details of Halloween 2026 Part II on October 8 on the official Pokémon GO news page. The event runs from Sunday, November 1, at 10 a.m. to Thursday, November 5, at 8 p.m. local time.
Two things lead it. Mega Sableye can be powered up to Super Max Level for the first time, and at that level it learns an extra Charged Attack, Night Shade+, while Mega Evolved: 55 power in Trainer Battles and 160 in raids, rising with Mega Level. And Greavard, the ghost dog, can be found Shiny in the game for the first time.
In the wild, look for Litwick, Rowlet in a Halloween costume, Greavard and Gengar in a Spooky Festival costume. One-Star Raids feature Pikachu in a hat and capelet and Sinistea wearing a bow, and all of these can be Shiny.
What it means for players
Super Max is not automatic. Sableye has to reach the third Mega Level, Max, first, and only spending its Mega Energy pushes it further, so Mega Evolving it once during the event will not unlock Night Shade+. If you want it, start building Sableye's Mega Level before November.
The GO Pass: Halloween 2026 is free and arrives automatically on October 27, covering both parts of the event until November 5, with rewards claimable until November 7. Rank 10 doubles Candy for catches and Rank 20 doubles Stardust. GO Pass Deluxe costs $7.99, or $9.99 with ten ranks included, as of October 2026, and raises those bonuses to triple while adding Rare Candy XL, Premium Battle Passes and the Patissier outfit.
Our full rating of the game is on our Pokémon GO page.
What happens next
Part I of Halloween runs from October 27 to October 31 and leads straight into Part II. Niantic says more bonus tasks for the GO Pass will be added during the event, so the free track may grow before November 5.
