There is also a Reddit thread over at the PokemonMasters subreddit where a list of the datamined characters who are due to make their appearances for the upcoming future events and Hex Maniac Helena along with her partner Pokemon Haunter will be in the game.
While not concrete, it’s safe to assume that Helena will be debuting in the upcoming Halloween Story event called Otherworldly Encounter which will also feature Iris and Alister in their Alt costumes that will start on 17th October.
Hex Maniac Helena would be the second generic NPC that will be added into Pokemon Masters EX, right after Sightseer Naomi and her partner Pokemon Sandslash. Perhaps one of the main reasons to why the Hex Maniac is added into the game is due to her massive popularity within the Pokemon Community, especially with the events of the “Ghost Girl” in Lumiose City from Pokemon X and Y.
