Pokémon Go’s next event has been announced. Following the conclusion of the Festival of Lights, Halloween Part 1 will arrive. This is always one of the most anticipated events of the year as the spawns and themed Pokémon are always a good time.

Mega Banette is making its Pokémon GO debut during this event to fit with the spooky theme. Here’s what you need to know.
