In Pokémon GO players are eagerly awaiting which raid boss Niantic will announce for the Halloween event 2020. A leak may have revealed the secret.
What is it about? In October, Pokémon GO celebrates the Halloween event annually. In 2020, there will be another event, which Niantic has already confirmed.
The information many trainers are impatiently waiting for is: Who will be the event boss? Because Niantic has hinted at the detail that an announcement about a raid boss will follow. They wrote on September 23:
“Soon, information about a special raid boss that you can challenge during the Halloween event will follow.”
A start date for the event is also still pending. However, a new leak from data miners suggests who this mysterious raid boss might be that Niantic hints at.
What we know so far about the Halloween event 2020, and why it could be a highlight

Who could be the raid boss? The PokeMiners are known for analyzing the code of the new updates for Pokémon GO. They already knew before the release of the new Rocket research with Mewtwo that this was coded into the game.
In the latest analysis (via reddit), they show that two new attacks are coded into the game:
- The fire attack Incinerate
- and the dark attack Sleep Talk
The special thing about the dark attack is that Sleep Talk is Darkrai’s special attack.
This is what the players say: For many trainers, it is now obvious that this attack is a hint at the raid boss Darkrai for Halloween. This is not yet officially confirmed. However, the dark Pokémon Darkrai would thematically fit well with a Halloween event – after all, the Pokémon was already the raid boss for the Halloween event 2019. The attack Sleep Talk could be specifically activated for this event.
- “Darkrai is obviously the special raid boss for Halloween,” says trainer Pycrow on reddit
- “Darkrai with Sleep Talk is obviously the special raid boss. However, there is also a small chance that they will organize a Darkrai raid day, like before with legendaries, and bring an exciting special boss for Halloween,” says l3g3nd_TLA on reddit
Who else could it be? We show you 5 Pokémon that could come as a mysterious raid boss to Pokémon GO. We can only be sure when Niantic officially announces the boss.
