If you’re looking to keep the fun going in Pokemon GO, you’ve got a whole new event to keep you occupied in the coming weeks. After the Halloween Events have finished off, you’ll only need to wait a short time before you’re able to jump right back into the fun.
But, if you’re not familiar with the Dia de Muertos event in Pokemon GO, you may be wondering what you’ve got to look forward to. Let’s dive right into the details, and find out what you’ll be able to do during this day of the dead in your favorite mobile game!
Pokemon GO Dia de Muertos Event Schedule & Bonuses
To help celebrate this tradition, you’ll be able to jump in on the action from November 1 at 10:00am until November 2 at 8:00pm Local Time.

New Costumed Pokemon Debut
If you’ve noticed in the image above, Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir are all wearing a traditional Cempasúchil Crown. The marigold is the traditional flower during the Day of the Dead celebration, so allowing some of the more iconic Ghost-type Pokemon to wear these crowns is something that all players will want to get their hands on. These Pokemon will only be available during the event, as well!
