Pokémon Go is hosting a “Harvest Festival” event from Nov. 7-12, featuring autumn-vibes Pokémon to usher in the (hopefully) cool weather.
The event features a double candy bonus for catching Pokémon, an increased rate to find shiny Pumpkaboo, and Mossy Lure Modules will bring in different Pokémon, like Alolan Exeggutor, Snorlax, Pumpkaboo, and Smoliv.
Smoliv and its evolutions will also be able to be found shiny for the first time.
