Summary
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetannounced two Halloween-themed events for trainers to participate in. A Five-Star Tera Raid against Gengar and a Mass Outbreak of Ghost Pokemon such as Gastly and Misdreavus will go live inPokemon Scarlet and Violetduring the last days of October.
Known as the Shadow Pokemon, Gengar first appeared inPokemon Red and Blueas the final evolution of Gastly and Haunter. As a Ghost and Poison dual-type creature, Gengar also received a Mega Evolution form inPokemon X and Yand a Gigantamax form inPokemon Sword and Shield. Though other Ghost-type Pokemon have been introduced in later generations, Gengar’s popularity remains strong with Pokemon trainers. As a result, Razer introduceda Gengar-themed version of its popular Kraken V3 Xheadset. However, the Razer Gengar headset is exclusive to China at the time of writing.
Following twomid-October events inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, the land of Paldea will see an abundance of Ghost Pokemon during the month’s final days. According to Serebii.net,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwill have a Five-Star Tera raid event against Gengar, who will have the Ghost-type as its Tera type. In addition, a Ghost Pokemon Mass Outbreak featuring Gastly, Misdreavus, Shuppet, and Bramblin will include a boosted chance of encountering those four Pokemon throughout Paldea. The Ghost Pokemon Halloween event will start on Sunday, October 27 at 8:00 PM Eastern, and conclude on Thursday, October 31, at 7:59 PM Eastern. The 5-Star Tera raid battle will pitPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers against a level 75 Gengar with the ability Cursed Body, which can randomly disable a move used against it for a few turns. Gengar can also use moves such as Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, and Nasty Plot throughout the fight. However, a level 100 Dark-type Pokemon such as Incineroar should make quick work of it.

As for the Mass Outbreak, it is unclear if a boosted chance of encountering Shiny Ghost Pokemon will be included. However,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers can improve their oddsby making Shiny Sandwichesthat grant Sparkling Power: Ghost and Encounter Power: Ghost at the same time. One such sandwich can be made by using a Red Onion, a Salty Herba Mystica, and either a Spicy or Sour Herba Mystica.
Both the Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak events will be opportunities forPokemontrainers tocatch Shiny versions of their favorite Ghost types. It remains to be seen whatPokemon Scarlet and Violethave planned for the rest of 2024.
