Pokémon Is Officially Giving Fans What They’ve Been Waiting For
Pokémon GO’s Harvest Festival: Applin Picking will introduce Shiny Applin, giving players their first chance to find the rare variant while gathering items for Applin’s evolutions. The event also lets players choose which apple they want to pursue, making it easier to work towards a particular evolution.
The event runs from 29 September at 10 a.m. until 5 October at 8 p.m. local time. Mossy Lure Modules will attract apples, which can grant Tart, Sweet or Syrupy Apples, or encounters with event Pokémon; wild appearances include Applin, Skwovet, Lechonk and Smoliv, with increased Shiny odds for Smoliv. A free GO Pass offers rewards as players rank up, while a paid Deluxe pass costs $4.99, or $6.99 with enough GO Points to reach Rank 7; unclaimed pass rewards expire on 7 October.
In short
- Shiny Applin debuts during Pokémon GO’s Harvest Festival.
- Players can choose an apple reward path for Applin’s evolutions.
- The event runs from 29 September to 5 October.
Explained simply
Pokémon GO is a mobile game where players hunt for virtual creatures in the real world using their smartphones. The game regularly holds special limited-time events that feature particular Pokémon and offer players exclusive chances to catch rare variants.
Shiny Pokémon are rare colour variants that look distinctly different from the standard versions of the same creature. Players actively seek these variants as they are significantly harder to find, and many have requested the opportunity to catch Shiny Applin, a small apple-based Pokémon.
The Harvest Festival event offers players the chance to catch Shiny Applin for the first time. The event also allows players to select which evolution form they want Applin to take.
