With just a day to spare to the beginning of this year's Halloween celebrations in the popular mobile game Pokémon Go, players worldwide prepare to immerse themselves in a series of spooky activities and festive decor. Initiating on October 19th and continuing until October 26th, Part I of the Halloween event promises ghost-type Pokémon and the reappearance of the nostalgic Lavender Town music.
While players eagerly await this, game developer Niantic has disclosed the details of the event's next phase — Pokémon Go's Halloween 2023 Part II. Launching on October 26th, this phase will extend to the end of October and carry forward several elements from the first part of the event.
Additions to look forward to in Part II include the appearance of Pikachu and Gengar, donning unique Tricks & Treats costumes. The event also includes the return of themed Pokémon from all previous years. Players will also be able to encounter more Halloween Field Research tasks, offering an opportunity to get their hands on Pokémon like Mismagius, Galarian Yamask, and Phantump.

Part II also welcomes a major event — the Team Go Rocket Takeover. The storyline involves the notorious Giovanni embroiling Regigigas in his latest evil plot.
