Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown, Yamask, and Phantump will also have the chance to appear in the wild during this event, though the Pokemon Go website indicated they’ll be rarer than the other featured Pokemon.

In addition, on the Pokemon Go website, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, said, “Trainers in Latin America and the Caribbean can look forward to even more encounters with featured event Pokémon when using Incense and Lure Modules.”
A variety of Pokemon will appear in Raids during this event:
Players will be able to complete event-themed Field Research tasks during this event to receive encounters with Sunkern, Drifloon, and Litwick. Players may also receive encounters with Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown and Alolan Marowak when completing these event-themed Field Research tasks, but the Pokemon Go website indicated they’ll be rarer than the other featured Pokemon.
During this event, players will be able to enter Duskull at Pokemon Showcases found at in-game PokeStops.
Finally, once this event begins, players will be able to purchase a new Día de Muertos avatar item in the game’s store. This item will remain in the store after the event ends. Players will also be able to collect event-themed stickers by opening Gifts, spinning the Photo Disc at PokeStops and purchasing them in the in-game store.
