The following Pokémon GO Halloween was recently announced. Some of the festivities include the introduction of some Pokémon that will be new to the game, as well as others that you may find as Shiny or Shadow Pokémon for the first time. Here are all of those Pokémon.

New Pokémon

Once the event begins on October 17th, the Ghost-type Yamask will begin spawning for the first time. This comes from the fact that the Pokémon of the fifth generation have recently started to deploy. The Halloween event will feature increased spawn rates for Ghost-type Pokémon in the wild, in eggs, and in raids. So now you have the chance to catch a bunch of Yamask. If you catch a lot and collect enough Yamask Candy to evolve one, you can turn a Yamask into a Cofagrigus. Cofagrigus is another Ghost-type Pokémon that wasn't available before. Pokémon GO.

Additionally, the mythical dark-type Pokémon Darkrai will finally appear in Pokémon GO for the first time. Darkrai will be exclusive to 5 Star Raid Battles. So be sure to bring plenty of powerful Pokémon with a type advantage over Dark, such as Fighting.

New variants
