Pokemon GO’s next Spotlight Hour features Smoliv, the adorableGrass/Normal-type Pokemon from the Paldea region. If you’re looking to add this Pokemon and its shiny version to your collection, you won’t want to miss this event. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Smoliv Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO.
When Is the Spotlight Hour and What to Expect
Smoliv comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses that you should keep in mind. It’s weak against Bug, Flying, Fighting, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves. However, it does have some nice resistances against Electric, Ghost, Grass, Ground, and Water-type moves, making it quite versatile in certain situations.
Yes! Shiny Smoliv is available in Pokemon GO, having just recently made its debut! The shiny version features a yellow body with a black olive on top, making it quite different from the regular green version.
While the shiny rates aren’t boosted during the Spotlight Hour (staying at the regular rate of approximately 1/500), the increased spawn rate means you’ll have many more chances to encounter one. Keep checking each Smoliv you see – you never know when a shiny might appear!
The combination of shiny availability, double evolution XP, and increased spawns makes this Spotlight Hour particularly worthwhile. Whether you’re hunting for that special shiny olive or just want to stock up on candy, make sure you’re prepared to make the most of this event!
