Pokemon GO: Get Smoliv Through Wild Encounters
The Harvest Festival features Smoliv and other monsters as wild spawns while boosting its spawn rate. The already raised Smoliv spawn rate can increase further using different Pokemon GO items. Since the Pokemon spawns randomly on the map, one can use Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect to intensify its spawn rate around a specific area.
Players can make use of the Weather Boost function by hunting Smoliv around areas with sunny and partly cloudy weather. One can attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module to a PokeStop or Gym with sunny and partly cloudy weather, activate an Incense, and traverse around that place. Following this strategy will stack all the items’ effects to the Weather Boost function and significantly boost the Smoliv spawn rate.
