Harvest Festival: Applin Picking

A harvest-themed event from 29 September to 5 October in which Shiny Applin appears in Pokémon GO for the first time. Mossy Lure Modules produce apples rather than Pokémon, so it is a good week to stock up on Tart, Sweet and Syrupy Apples for evolving Applin. A branching Timed Research lets you pick which apples to earn, and a free GO Pass adds further bonuses as you rank up.

Event bonuses

• Better chance of Shiny Smoliv
• Mossy Lure Modules attract only apples; tapping one gives Tart, Sweet or Syrupy Apples, or an encounter with Applin, Cottonee wearing a flower crown, Skiddo, Lechonk or Smoliv
• Branching Timed Research: choose a path for Tart, Sweet or Syrupy Apple rewards; tasks and rewards must be completed and claimed by 5 October at 20:00
• Event Field Research tasks rewarding encounters with Applin, Foongus, Skwovet or Smoliv, or a Tart, Sweet or Syrupy Apple
