A Deep Dive into Pokémon Go's Rousing Harvest Festival

The embellished lawns of Pokémon World have once again been set alive with the grandeur of the Harvest Festival. This event not only heralds the beginning of the spooky season but also unveils the entrancing introduction of Smoliv and its evolutions- Dolliv and Arboliva, new Grass and Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go. Apart from these exciting revelations, what makes this festival more gripping are the exclusive field research tasks and collection challenges that players can undertake along their Pokémon pursuit.

Unraveling the Pumpkaboo Collection Challenge

This Collection Challenge brings a series of gratifying rewards, a glorious addition to your Elite Collector Medal, and of course, the adorable ghost/grass Pokémon- Pumpkaboo. With half of the Pokémon obliging to be obtained via evolution, the thrill of this challenge is further elevated. Manage to unlock all its surprises before Tuesday, 17th October at 8 pm (local time) and you will find yourself richer by 5000 XP, 2500 Stardust, and a Mossy Lure Module.

Halloween Event and Other Exciting Features

As the Season of Adventures Abound descends on Pokémon Go, it heralds the return of the timeless Halloween event, unveiling enchanting figures like Greavard and Houndstone. Devotees can dive into Pokémon Go's multiplayer feature - Party Play, kickstart the Welcome Party quest, or compete fervently in the Go Battle League. Also demanding attention are intriguing endeavors like the Timed Investigation: Master Ball quest, Shadow Raids, and Routes. The Daily Adventure Incense during this time holds the promise of peculiar encounters with the Galarian versions of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, along with other rare Pokémon.

Working through the Smoliv Collection Challenge

Another captivating offering of the Harvest Festival, the Smoliv Collection Challenge, bears the potential to fetch you 5000 XP, 2500 Stardust, and a Mossy Lure Module. Successful completion will also see the addition of this challenge to your elite Collector Medal. Again, evolution is a must for two Pokémon in this challenge, ruling out the possibility of obtaining them in the wild. I hope you manage to complete it before its scheduled deadline of Tuesday, 17th October, at 8 pm (local time).

Exclusive Field Research Tasks at Your Disposal

What further enriches the Harvest Festival are its event-exclusive field research tasks. These can be added to your repertoire by spinning PokéStops during the festival and can be accomplished even after the event wraps up. However, securing the rewards from these tasks during the event will undoubtedly add more charm to the Collection Challenges.

Additional Surprises Lurking in the Harvest Festival

The drum rolls don't stop here. The Harvest Festival brings more to the table. A slew of bonuses is up for grabs, which are themed around the seasonal favorite- Pumpkaboo and an exclusive Lure Module. Players have an opportunity to lure more Pumpkaboos using the Mossy Lure Modules, which will also last for two hours this season. Plus, catching Pumpkaboos during this time will yield additional candy. Furthermore, certain Pokémon will appear more frequently during this appointed time, enhancing the overall exhilaration. Happy hunting with Pokémon Go's Harvest Festival!
