Pokemon GO is back with another exciting adventure, the Pokemon GO Harvest Festival. This fresh event not only spotlights various Grass-type Pokemon but also marks the introduction of Smoliv, the Olive Pokemon, broadening the game’s evolutionary line. Additionally, during the festival, select PokeStops will elevate the gaming experience by hosting Pokestop Showcases.
Kicking off on Thursday, October 12, at 10 AM and wrapping up on Tuesday, October 17, at 8 PM local time, the Harvest Festival offers a rich lineup of activities for the trainers. These activities range from a pair of Collection Challenges to a specially curated Field Research quest. Notably, during the festival, trainers will encounter region-specific creatures like the Red, Yellow, and Blue Flower Flabebe, boosting their chances of catching these elusive Pokemon in the wild. Here’s a detailed guide to the Harvest Festival’s Field Research tasks and their enticing rewards.
Highlights of the Harvest Festival in Pokemon GO:
- The event-exclusive Field Research quest has been designed to challenge trainers and offer a plethora of rewards. Additionally, during the festival, Mossy Lure Modules will last longer, stretching up to two hours. They’ll also have an enhanced probability of attracting Pumpkaboo. To sweeten the deal, capturing Pumpkaboos during this period will shower trainers with extra candy.
- Delving into the Field Research quests, trainers will find four distinct tasks awaiting them. Each task is focused on capturing specific Pokemon, offering rewards that include varying Burmy and Pumpkaboo variants. For those lucky enough, these Pokemon can be shiny! Furthermore, the different sizes of Burmy and Pumpkaboo not only add to the collection but also assist trainers in the Pokestop Showcases. A notable reward to watch out for is Smoliv, which trainers can earn through Field Research.
Field Research Tasks & Rewards:
- Capture 10 Grass‑type Pokemon: Get a chance to earn a Burmy (be it Plant, Sandy, or Trash variant, with potential shiny versions).
- Capture 15 Pokemon: Secure an encounter with a Pumpkaboo (spanning Small, Average, Large, or Super variants, each possibly shiny).
- Capture 30 Pokemon: Yet another opportunity to meet a Pumpkaboo (across its Small, Average, Large, or Super versions).
- Utilize 5 Berries during Pokemon captures: Receive a Smoliv (currently without a shiny variant).
Furthermore, the festival unfolds the Ticket of Treats Timed Research Part Two, available from the get-go on October 12, 2023. For access, trainers can head to the Pokemon GO store and get the Ticket of Treats for a mere $5.00 or its equivalent in their local currency.
Upon completion, the research tasks promise a Mossy Lure Module and subsequent encounters with Pumpkaboo. It’s crucial to remember the clock’s ticking; the timed research concludes, and all tasks and rewards must be secured by October 31, 2023, 8 PM local time. So, trainers, gear up and dive into the Pokemon GO Harvest Festival!
