Halloween Part One Wild Encounters

The following Pokémon are among those appearing in the wild during Halloween Part One. All listed Pokémon can be Shiny.

Piplup appears wearing its Halloween Mischief costume, rather than as ordinary Piplup.

Rare Wild Encounters

If you’re lucky, you may also encounter Drifblim wearing a Halloween Mischief costume in the wild. It can be Shiny too.

These are confirmed event highlights, not necessarily the full wild encounter pool.

Halloween Part One Raids

Two of the new costumed Pokémon appear in one-star raids starting October 27 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Both can be Shiny.

One-Star Raids

If you’re collecting all three new costumes, remember that Zubat wearing a top hat is a wild encounter, while Pikachu and Sinistea are featured in one-star raids.

Trick or Treat!

During Halloween Part One, you may discover spooky surprises left behind by mischievous Pokémon in the wild.
