Pokemon GO: Eevee Spotlight Hour Guide (Can Eevee Be Shiny?)

This Pokemon GO guide details everything about the Eevee Spotlight Hour and answers how to get a Shiny Eevee in the game.

Pokemon GO Smoliv, Dolliv and Arboliv Spotlight Hour

During the spotlight hour i Pokémon GOthere will be a large increase in Smoliv in the wild, providing many opportunities for players to capture them and either choose to keep them or transfer them for candies to evolve or boost them. While the event is running, players will also have a 2x catch bonus for every Pokemon caught during the event – this means players will earn extra XP for catching Pokemon during the hour the event is live.

As mentioned above, the event will run from Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 18.00 local time until 19.00 local time. Between this time, players will be able to catch Smoliv which is number 0927 in the Pokedex and is a Grass/Normal type. Something interesting about this Pokémon is that it got its name from two words, “Smol” because the Pokémon in its first evolution is small, and the olive is the fruit on its head.

Smoliv evolves into Dolliv with only 25 candies, then into Abroliva with only 100 candies. During the event, players will be able to earn the required candies quite quickly. Each higher evaluation has advantages but also has weaknesses, especially with it being a grass-type Pokemon the opposing Pokemon has a certain advantage. Below are the most effective damage types for Smoliv that can be used against Pokemon i Pokémon GO.

• Bug type
• Flying type
• Combat type
• Fire type
• Type of ice
• Poison type

Here is a list of Pokemon that Smoliv is resistant to. These Pokemon types are as follows:

• Electric type
• Ghost type
• Grass type
• Land type
• Water type

Hailing from the Paldea region, Smoliv comes with a variety of attacks. But the best move for Smoliv happens to be the combination of Tackle (normal move) and seed bomb (grass type). The reason for this is that it can cause 5 DPS (Damage Per Second) or combined with a 29.50 TDO (Total Damage Output) in Pokémon GO. However, if the player uses Smoliv in partly cloudy and sunny weather, they will expect a damage increase. It is important to know that the maximum combat power that Smoliv has turns out to be 965 CP.

Does Smoliv have a shiny?

Smoliv has a Shiny variant, and with spotlight hour, players will have an increased bonus chance to try to get a Shiny of the Pokémon. The regular Smoliv is a small olive that is green with roots that are darker green and a small olive on top of this Pokemon's head. The shiny version of this Pokemon is that the body of Smoliv is now yellow with the olive on top of the body now black.
