The Pokémon GO Harvest Festival is a limited-time event that introduces various activities and special features for players. Starting on October 12th and running until October 17th, the event brings a variety of gameplay elements to engage players. Notably, it features Grass-type Pokémon, including the debut of Smoliv and its evolutions.

One of the highlights of the Harvest Festival is the Showcase feature, where players can participate at specific PokéStops. Additionally, this event offers two Collection Challenges and a Field Research quest.
During the festival, trainers can encounter regional exclusive Pokémon like Red Flower Flabebe, Yellow Flower Flabebe, and Blue Flower Flabebe as wild spawns. Mossy Lure Modules become more enticing, as they last for two hours and have an increased chance of attracting Pumpkaboo. When capturing Pumpkaboo, players also receive two extra Pumpkaboo Candy for each catch.

The Field Research quest encompasses four different tasks, all focusing on capturing various Pokémon. Completion of these tasks provides players with Burmy and Pumpkaboo encounters, and there’s a chance to find Shiny variants. These Pokémon can also be featured in the Showcase, and players can earn a Smoliv as a Field Research reward.
| Field Research Tasks | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Catch 10 Grass‑type Pokemon | Burmy (Plant) (Shiny Available) Burmy (Sandy) (Shiny Available) Burmy (Trash) (Shiny Available) |
| Catch 15 Pokemon | Pumpkaboo (Small) (Shiny Available) Pumpkaboo (Average) (Shiny Available) Pumpkaboo (Large) (Shiny Available) Pumpkaboo (Super) (Shiny Available) |

Lastly, the event includes the second part of the Ticket of Treats paid Timed Research. Players can access this research by purchasing the Ticket of Treats in the Pokémon GO store for $5. It offers rewards like Mossy Lure Modules and encounters with Pumpkaboo. Be sure to complete these tasks before the Timed Research expires on October 31, 2023.
