Halloween will come to a close in Pokémon GO with the Día de Muertos event. From November 1 at 10:00 AM to November 2 at 8:00 PM (local time) you will be able to access various themed content related to the Aztec holiday. Among the new features is the debut of three Pokémon with special cosmetics: Duskull, Dusclops and Dusknoir with a cempasúchil (marigold) crown.

Notable among the content is the Collection Challenge, which upon completion will pit you against an Alolan Marowak as a reward, in addition to receiving a Pokochocho and Incense. Players in Latin America and the Caribbean will see an increased number of wild Pokémon while the event is active.

Here's what the Día de Muertos will have in store for you. The asterisk next to the name of the Pokémon indicates those that will have the possibility of appearing in a shiny version. To evolve a Duskull into Dusclops you will have to invest 25 Duskull Candies, and if you want Dusclops to evolve into Dusknoir the amount is 100.
