Halloween 2023 is a two-part event in Pokémon Go, with the first half offering a number of quests and two new debut Pokémon.
For all players, there are two quests to complete — the main “Halloween Timed Research” as outlined on this page, and the annual return of Spiritomb in “Spiritomb Limited Research”.
As well as these, there’s also paid Timed Research “Eerie Echoes” for $5 (or the equivalent in local currency).
This year’s Halloween event also sees the debut of Gen 9’s Greavard and Houndstone, alongside a refresh of wild spawns, raid encounters and 7km eggs. There’s plenty to sink your teeth into!

The following quest is available for all players, and must be completed before Part 2 of the event ends on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m. local time.
Rewards: Greavard encounter, 25 Poké Balls, 1,000 Stardust
Rewards: Greavard encounter, 20 Great Balls, 1,000 Stardust
Rewards: Greavard encounter, 5 Ultra Balls, 3 Pinap Berries
* This is bugged for some players, with the quest steps either showing the wrong research or it not working as intended. One solution (via ptmcmahon on Reddit) is to take a snapshot of a ghost-type from your storage to progress.
Note that the “Spiritomb Limited Research” — also available for all players — also has the same deadline of Oct. 31.
