Part 2 of Pokemon Go’s Halloween event is now underway. This portion runs until Nov. 1 and introduces its own slate of spooky new Pokemon to catch, namely costume-wearing versions of Vulpix, Gengar and other monsters. On top of that, costumed Pokemon from last year’s Halloween event are making an encore appearance.
Here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon Go’s Halloween 2022 celebration.

Like last year, Pokemon Go’s Halloween 2022 event is divided up into two parts.
Part 1 kicked off Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. local time and ran until the same time on Oct. 27. Part 2 picked up immediately afterward and will end on Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. local time.
