It’s Time to Harvest Shiny Applin! - Pokemon GO

Storyline / Event Context (Pokémon GO)

• The video centers on the Pokémon GO “Harvest Festival” / Applin event, where Applin can appear in the wild in its new shiny form.
• The creator also frames the day personally, celebrating a 1st wedding anniversary, spending time with Princess and their child Arya, and then joining event activities afterward.

Gameplay Highlights & Key Info

Shiny Focus

• Applin’s shiny is green.
• The creator mentions:
  • Small-leaf (Cottonnee-related) shiny chances
  • Increased Smoliv shiny chances tied to event bonuses and spawns.

Trade Highlight (Personal Gameplay)

• They complete a special one-time trade with Princess as part of their anniversary schedule (noted as happening on Sept 29 each year).
• Trade specifics:
  • Princess trades a shiny Jangmo-o
  • The creator trades back a shiny Jangmo-o (a remote trade due to timing)
• The resulting Pokémon has high IVs (described as “perfect” / better than a hundo), and they plan to keep it.

Event Bonuses & How to Get Applin’s Evolutions

Tier 1 Bonus (Rank 1+)

When you catch Applin, it has an increased chance to hold evolution-related apples:

• Tart Apple
• Sweet Apple
• Syrupy Apple

Tier 2 Bonus (Rank 10+)

• Lure modules last 1 hour
• The subtitles reference a lure (noted as Mossy lure / “Molise lure” in the captions).
• The lure is described as attracting only apples, which you must tap to receive rewards:
  • The evolution apple items above, or
  • Encounters with event Pokémon such as:
    • Flower Crown Cottonee
    • Skiddo (referenced via the City Safari connection)
    • (and other spawns mentioned)

Team GO Rocket Bonus

• Higher-rank Rocket progress provides extra stardust from grunts/leaders.

Main Target Confirmed

• The creator confirms the main goal is Applin in the wild based on their own catches.

Gameplay Strategies / Key Tips Mentioned

• Use lures aggressively for item farming

  • They plan multiple lure “parties” around North Singapore (Yishun).
  • They say they already bought some lures and want to increase stock (mentioning 19 and aiming for ~40).
  • Why: lures “only attract apples,” and tapping them gives evolution items or encounters.

• Don’t ignore apples during lure spawns

  • You must tap the apple(s) to actually receive the rewards.

• Track recent catches with storage filters

  • Pokémon with a blue aura were caught within the last 24 hours.
  • They reference using filters like “h0” to surface those recent catches.

• Field research focus during the event

  • Example task: Catch 5 Grass-type Pokémon
    • Possible encounter options include Foongus, Shroomish, or Snorlax
  • For Applin specifically, they mention a task that guarantees Applin:
    • Catch 15 Grass-type Pokémon
    • Follow up with use berries
    • Additional rewards include Snorlax and one of the three apple items
    • They personally question whether the apple choice is “worth it” relative to the berry cost.

Evolution / “Branching” Rewards

• The event rewards branch into:
  • Flapple
  • Appletun
  • Dipplin
• The creator’s takeaway:
  • Not much practical difference for their goals—primarily collection.
  • Their only real PvP experience mentioned comes from the dragon-type line (implying Flapple).
• Overall emphasis: these evolutions (including Applin) are presented as collection-focused, not the top raid/PvP priority.

Other Notable Pokémon Caught / Progress Mentioned

• Outside of Applin, they highlight:
  • A Hundo (100% IV) Golpin (“hundo Golpin”)
  • A Hundo Ekans
  • They purify a Tyrogue to obtain a hundo
• Shiny pulls mentioned:
  • Shiny Volbeat
  • Shiny Jangmo-o (from the Princess trade)
  • Shiny Venonat
  • Shiny Shadow Pinsir (from a car grind/session with their group)

Additional Event Plans / Community Mentions

• The creator plans to participate in community activities, including:
  • Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia
    • Attending Zeranius Raid Hour at Mid Valley Southkey
  • They mention the JB community group is run by Harry, and invite local viewers to join.

Go Fest / Go Pass (Event Subscription Mentions)

• They reference Go Pass Deluxe rewards:
  • Rank-up options (notably around Rank 6 to reach Rank 7)
  • Rewards include more “Z levels,” apples, and Super Rocket Radar
• They also discuss potential future Shadow content:
  • Shadow Zekrom referenced for Oct 2 during a “Taken Over” event
  • They speculate (not confirm) about future Shadow Ultra Beasts, and how that might influence whether Shadow Zekrom remains top-tier electric.
