Pokemon GO Halloween Part 1 Offers Free Timed Research
Players can earn six Rare Candies and a costumed Pikachu encounter, with rewards expiring on November 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Pokemon GO has outlined the free Timed Research available during its Halloween Part 1 event, which grants all players six Rare Candies and a special encounter with a Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet, according to gamerant.com. The costumed Pikachu has a chance to be Shiny.
The rewards must be claimed before Halloween Part 1 ends on November 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time, so players have a limited window to collect them.

A Super Mega Raid Day on Halloween debuts Mega Chandelure, giving players a new Mega Evolution to take on during the celebration.
