Welcome to the latest One More Catch weekly newsletter, offering you a guide to the days ahead in Pokémon Go.
'Halloween Part 2' continues and takes up most of the week, so get used to some familiar spooky spawns and raid appearances. Otherwise, there's only regular events and updates to lean on as in-person Go Wild Area events in Sendai and Mexico City kick off on Friday.
So here's a snapshot of everything coming to Pokémon Go in the days ahead, the biggest opportunities available, and a roundup of Pokémon news and site updates you may have missed.

What to know about this week
Here's what jumps out to me this week:
- Though it was covered in last week's newsletter, as the only event this week (there's not even anything on Saturday due to in-person Go Wild Area events) here's a recap of 'Halloween Part 2', which kicked off on 10am Sunday and lasts until 8am Thursday.
- The headline additions are the debut of shiny Greavard and Mega Level 4 for Sableye. In a rare bit of synergy, Mega Sableye appears in Mega Raids all week until Sunday - giving you something to chase in an otherwise quiet week.
- That said, Mega Sableye doesn't exactly break the mould competitively (in raids / PvE at least), so don't sweat it if you don't make the most of the week's Sableye focus.
- Otherwise, there's not much different from Part 1: Litwick, costumed Rowlet and Gengar, plus the now-shiny Greavard will appear in the wild, many of which appear in refreshed Field Research tasks.
- Here's infographics with a full view of what to expect:

- Otherwise, Max Monday sees Machop (useful for XL Candy, but know you're better saving them for Gigantamax Machamp), Teddiursa wearing a witch hat is in Thursday's Spotlight Hour, while Giratina Altered Forme shows up in five-star raids on Wednesday (though disappears at the end of Sunday as next week's Go Wild Area preamble kicks off).
