Pokemon Go Harvest Festival Event: Schedule, Smoliv Debut & More

Halloween is just around the corner, and all gaming worlds are eagerly preparing activities for the upcoming holiday. Pokemon Go was no exception, offering players a fun and slightly scary Harvest Festival event. During this event, you will have an exclusive opportunity to catch 12 harvest pocket monsters, including several Flabébé variations. But more importantly, say hello to Smoliv in the world of Pokemon Go. Mossy Lure Modules bonuses, the search for the best Arboliva, and the Pumpkaboo Shiny hunt are just a part of the upcoming Halloween fun, so get ready.

When the Harvest Festival Event Starts

As we said, the Harvest Festival Event is just around the corner and starts on October 12, 2023, at 10:00 AM Local Time and will last until October 17 at 8:00 PM Local Time. Of course, you might think that five days is not enough for this festival, but that’s all we have. So make good use of this time by catching as many themed pocket monsters as possible.

Smoliv Debut in Pokemon Go – How To Get It

To answer the question, we can say Yes, Smoliv and its evolutionary forms Dolliv and Arboliva have been officially added to the Pokédex and will now periodically visit the game world. And No, Smoliv cannot be Shiny yet. Harvest Festival celebrates the first appearance of this olive family in the world of Pokemon Go. So, give them time to get used to it before they call out their uniquely colored mates.

As for getting Smoliv, you can find it in the wild of the game world and catch it like any other Pokemon. Additionally, you can receive an encounter with this Pokemon as a reward for Field Research Tasks. As for Dolliv and Arboliva, you will need 25 and 100 Smoliv Candies, respectively. Classic evolution without additional requirements, nothing unusual.
