Want to know how to get Smoliv Oil in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? When fighting wild Pokemon, you never know if they will become your loyal companions until the end of the game. But you can be sure that by defeating any Pokemon, you will receive valuable crafting material. One such material is Smoliv Oil which you can use to craft some Grass-type TMs. As the name of this item suggests, you can get it from the little Smoliv Pokémon and its subsequent evolutions. And our guide is here to help you and tell you how to get Smoliv Oil in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
How to Get Smoliv Oil in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
As we said at the beginning, to get Smoliv Oil in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you must defeat or capture Smoliv or its subsequent forms, Dolliv and Arboliva, in their habitats. Little Smoliv olive Pokémon spawn in only one location on the map – South Province (Area Two). So if you have a low-level Pokemon, you can find weak Smoliv only in this location.
Shortly after the Smoliv evolves into the Dolliv, their habitat takes on a somewhat odd shape. Dolliv lives in the north, south, east, and even on a small island. However, their habitats are small, and you can find these Pokémon in the following locations: Alfornada, East Province (Area Two), North Province (Area Three), and Tagtree Thicket. Even more unusual is that the latest form of evolution, Arboliva, has the largest habitat. You can find these Pokémon throughout the northern half of the Paldea region. Although, there are also relatively a lot of Arboliva in South Province (Area Six).
Once you meet one of these Pokemon, you should choose the best opponent to farm Smoliv Oil more efficiently. Since Smoliv, Dolliv and Arboliva are Grass and Normal-type Pokémon, they are weak against Fire, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Flying, and Bug-type moves and take 2x damage from these. On the other hand, you shouldn’t use Water, Grass, Electric, Ground, and Ghost-type Pokémon. Against Ghost-type moves, the Smoliv family is immune, and other attacks are only half effective.
