Pokemon GO still remains one of the most popular games in the scene with over 79 million players playing as of June 2023. With the game being so successful, the developers at Niantic still release updates for the game. While the game came out back in 2016, the player numbers for the game are still strong, with a peak of 232 million active players during the year of its debut.

Although the craze isn’t as hard as it was when the game originally came out, new events keep drawing players back into the game. For the month of October, Niantic has planned something for players that will win their hearts again.

Pokémon GO Harvest Festival event

The Pokémon GO Harvest Festival event features Grass-type Pokémon and introduces Smoliv, a new Pokémon from Paldea. The Harvest Festival event in Pokémon GO will start on October 17, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time. The event revolves around Grass-type Pokémon, and it offers various bonuses and themed Field Research.

For the first time in Pokémon GO, Trainers have the opportunity to catch Smoliv. Smoliv is known as the Olive Pokémon and hails from the region of Paldea. It has two evolutions, Dolliv and Arboliva, which represent the region’s abundance of nature. Completing the Harvest Festival Collection Challenge can earn Trainers XP, Stardust, and Mossy Lure Modules, which will be useful for catching more Smoliv.
