Pokemon Go Halloween 2021: part 2, Ghoulish pals
The Pokemon Go 2021 Halloween event is split into two halves, this article is all about part 2, Ghoulish Pals – which includes new raids, new wild spawns and new Pokemon eggs.
Part 2 in particular introduces the new Pokemon of the event – Phantump and Pumpkaboo! So, there’s quite a lot to get unpacking here, time to get into it.
Ghoulish Pals – Pokemon Go Halloween 2021 Part 2
While some of the Halloween events spans over the full duration, Pokemon from wild spawns, raids and eggs will change depending on which half of the event you’re in, so I’ve divided those changes between here and a separate part 1 article.
Part 2, Ghoulish Pals is the second half of the 2021 Halloween event and starts in Pokemon Go from October 22nd at 10:00 AM, and runs until October 31st at 8:00 PM, both in local time.
New Spawns in Pokemon Go Ghoulish Pals
Now on to what Part 2 will do to our various sources of Pokemon – all Pokemon that can be found as a shiny variant in their respective lists will be shown as bold text from this point onwards.
- Pikachu
- Gastly
- Haunter
- Misdreavus
- Shuppet
- Piplup
- Purrloin
- Yamask
- Litwick
- Phantump
- Pumpkaboo
Much like part one, you may be wondering what Pikachu and Piplup are doing in this event, and you’re not alone – they don’t quite fit in, do they? But they’re here because they’ll be wearing costumes during the event, making them costumed versions rather than just the standard versions.

New Raids
Ghoulish pals will follow the lead of Creepy Companions, and once again feature a whole set of new raids, ranging from 1-star all the way up to a Mega raid. So, let’s talk about what we can expect, starting from our 1* raids that will contain the following Pokemon:
- Murkrow
- Yamask
- Galarian Yamask
- Phantump
- Pumpkaboo
This time around everything in the 1* list makes total sense for the Halloween event, no sneaking in a Slowpoke this time.
- Alolan Marowak
- Banette
- Drifblim
- Lampent
Drifblim will be encountered as the third and final costumed Pokemon during the event, so keep an eye out for those raids if you’re a big Drifblim fan.
And finally, the high-end stuff. The 5* raids will be spawning Darkrai during the event, while Mega raids will be occupied by the newly launched Mega Absol.

New Eggs
Much like the first half of the event, only 7km eggs are being changed for the event, but the new eggs will feature all of the following:
- Spinarak
- Misdreavus
- Shuppet
- Galarian Yamask
- Litwick
- Golett
- Phantump
Golett is once again left looking a bit out of place here for a Halloween event, but everything else seems pretty on-brand for the spooky season.
Anything else?
That’s it for all the Pokemon featuring in the Halloween 2021 part 2 event, Ghoulish Pals. There’s quite a few in here, but this is nothing compared to the overall size of the event. You can find more details about that in our main event coverage.
With Ghoulish Pals now explained in full, you can check out the rest of the event at the link above, otherwise, if you’re just looking for more Pokemon Go content like this or for other news and stories, you can find them in our Pokemon Go Category.
