The full Pokemon GO October calendar of events isn’t available just yet, but some events are too big to keep quiet. Starting on October 1, fans of the mobile AR game will be celebrating the latest Pokemon film with a special Secrets of the Jungle tie-in event.
The Secrets of the Jungle event fires off right on the first day of October and is going to offer Pokemon GO players an exciting ten days of features, bonuses, spawns, and special Battle Raid bosses. Many players will be focused on completing the event’s Special Research to unlock Zarude, but that isn’t the only activity to keep players busy.

The full event features a number of other exciting opportunities, including the chance to encounter a shiny version of Explorer Pikachu. Those odds are likely to bring the shiny hunters out of the woodwork during early October. Beyond that, there are also some pretty interesting limited time raid bosses ready to tackle.
