The Halloween event is to begin on October 17, 2019, at 1 pm. PDT (ie 9:00 pm MST) and will last until on Friday, November 1, 2019, at the same time.
What is interesting to note, however, is that the event will present two new brilliant Pokémon in the form of Shiny Shiny Yamask and its evolved form, Shiny Cofagrigus.

At the time of writing these lines, it is not possible to say for sure, but after what Niantic says, it seems like your best choice will be to meet a shiny Yamask shining in the wild.
Similarly, remember that it is not possible to encounter a brilliant cofagrigus in the wild. As you will not meet the wild form of Yamask in the wild.
As you can see from the above images, Shiny Yamask goes from black to dark blue with a mask that also goes from gold to silver.
Shining Cofagrigus also undergoes a change, the gold body changing to silver and the blue highlights to pink.

Hatches of Eggs:
Yamask will not be available in the game as an egg hatch. This could change in the future, but we would not count on that during Halloween.
Battles of Raids:
At the time of writing these lines, Niantic had still not confirmed that Yamask was a potential leader of the raid. However, a longer list of raid leaders may be available at the time of the broadcast of the event.

To increase your chances of meeting a brilliant, you want to go somewhere to spawn as much yamask as possible.
To increase your chances, we advise you to visit the World Atlas of Silph Road Nests to find your nearest Yamask nest.
