Everything else for the Día de Muertos event in Pokémon Go

Throughout Día de Muertos you can enjoy a selection of bonuses in Pokémon Go; every player will receive double catch stardust and both incense and lure modules lasting for 90 minutes.

If you live in Latin America you'll also have access to a number of additional bonuses. This includes an extra transfer candy bonus and all of the featured Pokémon - in the wild, from incense and lure modules - will be appearing more frequently.

Cubone, Sunkern, Murkrow, Houndour, Sableye and Roselia will all be appearing more frequently in the wild. You may even encounter Sunflora, Drifloon and Yamask.

Shiny Ditto can also now be found in the wild and this tricky Pokémon is now appearing as new creatures! Meanwhile, the last major update saw a level cap increase - including the addition of XL Candy, boosts to some XP sources and the addition of Platinum Medals. Phantump and Pumpkaboo can now be caught in Pokémon Go!

How the Día de Muertos Collection Challenge works in Pokémon Go

The Día de Muertos Collection Challenge, along with the event's other bonuses, will only be available between Monday, 1st November to Tuesday, 2nd November at 8pm (local time).

Just like every other Collection Challenge, you need to obtain a specific list of Pokémon through either catching them in the wild or another method, such as evolution or raids. Once the Collection Challenge is completed, you'll receive its reward and it will be added to your Elite Collector medal.

Collection Challenges can be found in the 'Today View' screen, which is accessed by pressing the field research button - the little binoculars - in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. You may have to scroll to the left if you've been looking at the field or special research screens.

When you catch a Pokémon on the Collection Challenge rooster it will be ticked off this list, helping you keep track of which ones you're missing.

Don't forget - you only have until 8pm (local time) on Tuesday, 2nd November to complete the Día de Muertos Collection Challenge.

Hope you enjoy the Día de Muertos event!
