nothing special really, you can get it with candy evolution anyways whole year.
It’s not like the real games you could only evolve with trade.
What makes this special is because there’s Shiny Gengars. Also shiny pinsirs and Caterpies.
It had 2 exclusive moves only available during this event through capturing after a raid or evolving within the time slot. Along with that they unlocked Gengar’s shiny, so there was a chance to get it shiny from raids for the first time. That part wasn’t limited though, just boosted for the event, it was the moves, and more specifically lick and it’s high DPS that people were craving.
