Get Ready for the Pokémon GO Harvest Festival!
Ah, November! The month where we all collectively decide to put on a few extra pounds thanks to a certain holiday. Oh yes, pumpkin spice everything is upon us – and so is the Pokémon GO Harvest Festival. Now, I know what you’re thinking—”Jimmy, can I catch a shiny olive?” Well, buckle up, because it’s about to get juicy!
Date and Time
Mark your calendars, folks! This shindig kicks off on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 10:00 AM and runs until Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 8:00 PM. Talk about a week-long fiesta! Or, as I like to call it, “The Great Olive Hunt 2024.”
Debut of Smoliv!
Introducing Smoliv—the Olive Pokémon! Let’s be honest, it’s like a fruit salad had a baby with a Poké Ball. This little green wonder isn’t just appearing in its regular form; oh no! It’s making its shiny debut. Because if there’s one thing we all need in our lives, it’s a flashy olive, right?
Remember, to evolve Smoliv into its glamorous forms, you’ll need 25 Candies for Dolliv and 100 Candies for Arboliva. It’s basically Pokémon math, but don’t worry, I’ve heard they make calculators for that sort of thing.
Getting Rewards—Bonuses Galore!
Yes, you heard me right! Bonus time: during the Harvest Festival, you’ll be raking in double the candies per catch. So go ahead, be greedy! Also, if you activate your Mossy Lure Modules, not only will you attract some lovely Pokémon like Alolan Exeggutor and Snorlax, but you’ll have a better chance of encountering a shiny Pumpkaboo. It’s like a haunted house full of goodies! Who doesn’t want that?
Wild Encounters
In the wild, you can expect to encounter:
- Oddish
- Exeggcute
- Hoppip
- Sunkern
- Miltank
- Zigzagoon
- Bunnelby
- Pumpkaboo (Multiple Sizes!)
- And of course, our dear Smoliv!
- Pumpkaboo XXL (hopefully, because who doesn’t want to be smothered by a massive pumpkin?)
Field Investigations
And don’t forget about your field investigations! These missions are like treasure hunts where you might just stumble across one of the event Pokémon. Remember, it’s not just the loot that matters; it’s the questionable choices you make along the way!
Collection Challenge
Collect various Pokémon to receive Stardust and, you guessed it, more encounters with Smoliv. Completing challenges not only earns you rewards but also gives you bragging rights over your friend who still can’t find a single shiny.
Exhibitions
Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting exhibitions at specific PokéStops. It’s like a mini-Museum of Pokémon where you can actually play with them without worrying about being bitten. Gathering some Instagram-worthy moments here, folks!
Conclusion
All in all, the Harvest Festival is shaping up to be a delightful affair with new Pokémon and plenty of goodies. So, gear up, grab your friends, and prepare for what could be the most fun you’ll have catching ol’ green guys while the rest of the world is preoccupied with shopping for holiday gifts. And speaking of gifts, do you think this new spawn will have decent uses? Or will it just sit pretty on your roster, gathering dust like my gym membership? Let’s find out! Are you ready for this event to start?
The Harvest Festival will be the first event that can be enjoyed in Pokémon GO this November, and pay attention, because a new shiny Pokémon will debut this event, which as additional information, was seen for the first time in the game in the edition of 2023.
