As a seasoned Pokémon GO player with over a thousand hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Harvest Festival event is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events yet! The prospect of encountering shiny Smoliv for the first time and increased chances of finding shiny Pumpkaboo has me eagerly awaiting November 7.

The popular game Pokemon GO has unveiled its upcoming Harvest Festival event set to start on November 7th. This will be one of the initial events in November for the game, honoring the beauty of autumn with trainers by providing a host of benefits.

Last year, from October 12th to the 17th, the initial Harvest Festival took place, emphasizing Pokemon of the Grass type. A significant feature was the introduction of Smoliv and its evolutions into Pokemon GO, allowing players to come across this small Paldean creature in the wild and via Field Research tasks. This event also included chances to find pocket monsters like Bellsprout, Flabebe, Bounsweet, and Sunkern in the wild. Players appreciated extra benefits such as longer Mossy Lure Module durations, fresh Collection Challenges, and PokeStop Showcases.

2021 won’t deviate from the norm, as the Pokemon GO Harvest Festival event kicks off at 10 am on November 7 and concludes at 8 pm in your local time zone on October 12. One of the key attractions is Smoliv, making its debut in its shiny form for the first time. Apart from Smoliv, there will be a total of 11 additional Pokemon species roaming in the wild. Among them are Pumpkaboo in four distinct sizes. During this event, trainers will receive twice as much Candy when they capture monsters. Shiny Pumpkaboo will appear more frequently, and Mossy Lure Modules will lure Pokemon like Alolan Exeggutor and Snorlax towards them.
