Running from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3 at 8pm local time, the second part of Halloween 2024 introduces Gigantamax Gengar to Pokémon Go and adds extra boosts to the existing content from Part 1. It might get a bit confusing to keep up with everything going on, but here is a full breakdown for Pokémon Go Halloween 2024 Part 2.
