Applin

Enjoy a bountiful Harvest Festival with Shiny Applin’s Pokémon GO debut!

From Tuesday, September 29, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, October 5, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. local time, Trainers can celebrate the Harvest Festival: Applin Picking event. For the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Applin — if you’re lucky! — and Shiny Smoliv will have an increased encounter rate throughout the event.

During the event, Mossy Lure Modules will only attract apples, event-themed Field Research tasks will be available, and a branching Timed Research story lets you choose which apples you’ll receive as a reward. A special GO Pass: Harvest Festival is also available for the duration of the event.

Shiny Applin Debut

For the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Applin — if you’re lucky!

Evolve Applin into Flapple (200 Applin Candy + 20 Tart Apples), Appletun (200 Applin Candy + 20 Sweet Apples), or Dipplin (200 Applin Candy + 20 Syrupy Apples). Dipplin can then evolve into Hydrapple using 400 Applin Candy and by catching seven Dragon-type Pokémon with Dipplin as your buddy.

Wild Encounters

Event-themed Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild during the Harvest Festival.

Shroomish, Foongus, Skwovet, Lechonk, and Smoliv will show up more often — and if you’re lucky, you might also encounter Applin or Snorlax. Any of them could be Shiny!

From Friday, October 2, Harvest Festival: Taken Over adds even more Pokémon to the wild.

Apples and Mossy Lure Modules

During the event, Mossy Lure Modules will only attract apples.

Tapping on an apple will award Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, or Syrupy Apples — or an encounter with an event-themed Pokémon, such as Cottonee wearing a flower crown, Applin, Skiddo, Lechonk, or Smoliv.

GO Pass: Harvest Festival
GO Pass

Trainers automatically receive GO Pass: Harvest Festival on Tuesday, September 29, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Complete Pass Tasks to rank up and earn encounters with event-themed Pokémon, Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, or Syrupy Apples, a Mossy Lure Module, a Super Rocket Radar, and more. Trainers who upgrade to the GO Pass Deluxe also earn additional encounters, plus more Apples, Mossy Lure Modules, and Super Rocket Radars.

For US$4.99, upgrade to the GO Pass Deluxe for upgraded rewards and faster progression — or to the GO Pass Deluxe + 6 Ranks for US$6.99 to automatically reach Rank 7. Rewards unlocked in the GO Pass expire on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Every rank costs 100 GO Points. The free track and the GO Pass Deluxe track pay out side by side — Deluxe holders claim both. Ranks 31 through 59 repeat the same reward, so they are shown once as a single collapsed row before the Rank 60 finale.
