Pokemon Go’s Tales of Transformation season continues in October with a variety of different events happening over the next few weeks. In addition to new Spotlight Hours and raid bosses, the game will host a few autumn-themed activities this month like the Harvest Festival, which will introduce two new evolved forms of Applin.
On top of that, there’s also Mega Rayquaza Raid Day to look forward to, as well as an event to celebrate the launch of the Pokemon series’ latest title, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. And of course, October wouldn’t be complete without the annual Halloween event, which will be split up into two parts this year and add a few new ghost and costumed Pokemon to catch.
