Overview
- The Harvest Festival runs Oct. 10–16 (local time) with Niantic-confirmed boosted spawns for Applin, Smoliv, Combee, and Miltank.
- Applin now evolves into Dipplin using 200 Applin Candy and 20 Syrupy Apples, a new item that appears more often at PokéStops with active Mossy Lures.
- Hydrapple requires first evolving to Dipplin, then 400 Applin Candy and catching 7 Dragon‑type Pokémon while Dipplin is your buddy.
- Event perks include doubled candy when catching with Pinap or Silver Pinap Berries and an increased chance to find shiny Pumpkaboo and shiny Smoliv in the wild.
- A $4.99 Candy Apple Timed Research ticket grants doubled Mossy Lure duration, higher PokéStop berry drops, and rewards like Mossy Lures and Syrupy Apples, with event Collection Challenges also awarding Syrupy Apples.
