The Pokemon Harvest Festival has begun and Smoliv and its evolutions have made their debut in the field. With these new pocket monsters making their way into the mobile game, many trainers may be wondering if they can find them in their shiny variants. In this guide, we will teach you to catch without putting much effort.
How to Catch Shiny Smoliv
Shiny Smoliv is the youngest member of the family and so is the easiest to catch because Evolved versions have less spawn rate. Since Smoliv is a Grass and Normal-type Pokemon, it has the highest chance of spawning during partly cloudy or sunny weather thanks to the game's weather boost mechanic. Because of its form, there is a high chance that Smoliv can be caught while hatching eggs.
However, there is a catch. Since the Pokemon is a three-stage evolution, Niantic may introduce it through a future Community Day event.
How to Catch Shiny Dolliv
Dolliv is the toughest of all three forms to catch. The reason is middle forms of three-stage families never receive as much love as their two other forms. The best way players will be able to obtain a Shiny Dolliv in Pokemon GO once it becomes available is to find and catch a Shiny Smoliv, and then evolve it. Also, only 25 Smoliv candies are needed to evolve Smoliv into Dolliv.
How to Find Shiny Arboliva
Though Shiny Arboliva is not present yet, it may be one of the easiest to obtain out of the three. Fully evolved monsters such as Arboliva have the potential to appear as a Three-Star Raid Boss. Not only are these raids worth doing, but Abroliva those obtained from raids have much higher stats as well.
The option of finding a Shiny Smoliv and evolving it is still present but it requires 100 Smoliv candies and 125 in total to evolve a Shiny Smoliv into a Shiny Arboliva.
