Halloween may be over but Pokémon Go fans that are still up for more ghost-type will rejoice as it’s to hold the Día de Muertos event.
Día de Muertos is also known as the Day of the Dead, a holiday that’s observed in Mexico and other regions. So Niantic is hosting a special two day event for the occasion, so it’ll last from November 1 until November 2. The event is much smaller when compared to the Halloween event and this one focuses on Pokémon that are representative of flowers, incense, and more that tie into the holiday.
One of the highlights of the event is the Collection Challenge where players catch specific Pokémon that’ll eventually lead to an encounter with Shedinja,
