The spooky season has arrived, and Pokémon GO players are in for a special treat with the upcoming Harvest Festival event. Set to kick off on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 10 am local time and run through Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 8 pm local time, the Harvest Festival promises to bring Halloween-themed fun to the Pokémon GO world. During this event, you can expect to encounter a unique set of Pokémon. Here are five Pokémon that you should keep an eye out for during the Harvest Festival in Pokémon GO.
1) Pumpkaboo
Pumpkaboo, along with its Shiny variant, first made its debut during the in-person 2023 Pokémon GO Fest in New York City. As it will be available globally during the Harvest Festival, it’s a Pokémon you definitely want to add to your collection. To increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Pumpkaboo, use Mossy Lure Modules. More encounters mean higher chances of encountering this elusive Shiny Pokémon.
2) Arboliva
Arboliva, known for its olive-like appearance, is making its debut in Pokémon GO during the Harvest Festival event. This dual Grass- and Normal-type Pokémon has two evolution stages: Dolliv and Aboliva. While Arboliva may not revolutionize the overall Grass-type meta in Pokémon GO, its unique dual typing of Grass and Normal can make it a valuable addition to your PvP roster.
3) Shiny Female Combee
Shiny Female Combee is a rare and valuable find during the Harvest Festival. When evolved into Vespiqueen, it becomes a strong contender for Pokémon GO Battle League battles. Keep an eye out for this elusive Pokémon, and if you find one with low Attack IV and high Defense and Stamina IVs, it can be a formidable addition to your team.
4) Flabebe
Flabebe is a Mono Fairy-type Pokémon with various color variants. During the Harvest Festival, you can encounter the red, blue, and yellow variants. Each of these variants will be region-locked, meaning you can only find them in specific regions. Flabebe’s second-stage evolution, Florges, is a top-tier Fairy-type attacker in the current Pokémon GO Battle League meta, making Flabebe an essential catch.
5) Shiny Cottonee
Shiny Cottonee is a rare find during the Harvest Festival, and its evolution into Whimsicott makes it a valuable asset for PvP battles. Whimsicott boasts a dual Grass and Fairy elemental typing, earning it a reputable position on the Pokémon GO Battle League leaderboard. Don’t miss the chance to add Shiny Cottonee to your collection.
The Pokémon GO Harvest Festival is a limited-time event, so make the most of this opportunity to catch and collect these special Pokémon.
