Like last year, you can complete a Día de Muertos Collection Challenge and collect a selection of event-exclusive field research tasks throughout this short Pokémon Go event. There’s also three new costume Pokémon to collect during this Día de Muertos event, so make sure you take the time to add them to your collection. On this page: Remember - you must complete this challenge before 8pm (local time) on Wednesday, 2nd November or else you won’t be able to collect its rewards. Here are the Pokémon, arranged in National Pokédex order, in the Día de Muertos Collection Challenge, along with how to catch them:
Cubone - In the wild, including Incense or Lure Modules, and event-exclusive field research task Chinchou - In the wild Sunkern - In the wild, including Incense or Lure Modules Roselia - In the wild, including Incense or Lure Modules, and event-exclusive field research task Litwick - In the wild and event-exclusive field research task Swirlix - In the wild, including Incense or Lure Modules
For completing this challenge, you’ll receive one Poffin, one Incense and an Alolan Marowak encounter.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Although these tasks can be saved and completed after the event ends, we recommend completing them during the Día de Muertos event as the Pokémon encounters you earn may help you complete the Collection Challenge.
Here the Día de Muertos field research tasks in Pokémon Go:
Make a Great Throw reward - Cubone encounter Make a Nice Curveball Throw reward - Roselia or Litwick encounter Make 3 Great Curveball Throws in a row reward - Cempasúchil Crown Duskull encounter Win a Gym Battle reward - Houndoom encounter
Thank you to SilphScience from reddit for the help with this information! There are also three new costume Pokémon arriving for this event - Cempasúchil Crown Duskull, Dusclops and Dusknoir. You’ll have no problem catching Cempasúchil Duskull as it can be found in the wild, through field research tasks, one-star raids, Incense and Lure Modules. Once you have one of these special Duskulls you can evolve it into a Cempasúchil Crown Dusclops by using 25 Duskull Candy and, thanks to 100 Duskull Candy and a Sinnoh Stone, you can evolve that into a crown wearing Dusknoir. The following Pokémon are appearing more frequently in the wild throughout the Día de Muertos event:
Cubone Chinchou Sunkern Roselia Cempasúchil Crown Duskull Drifloon Yamask Litwick Swirlix
The above Pokémon will be appearing even more often if you live in either Latin America or the Caribbean. The Pokémon listed below are appearing more frequently when you use either Incense or Lure Modules during the event:
Cubone Sunkern Sunflora Houndoom Roselia Cempasúchil Crown Duskull Drifloon Yamask Swirlix
Again, these Pokémon will appear even more frequently if you live in either Latin America or the Caribbean. Finally, Cempasúchil Crown Duskull is the only Pokémon in one-star raids throughout the event. Dragonite, Sableye and Druddigon are in three-star raids, while Giratina (Origin Forme) and Mega Banette remain in five-star and Mega Raids retrospectively. Hope you enjoy this year’s Día de Muertos event in Pokémon Go!
