PoGO – Pokémon Go: Event Smoke Day is now active – hunt Shiny Karnivanha!

Today, May 17, 2020 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, the Smoke Day event is active in Pokémon Go with Water and Unlight Pokémon. This means that at different times, different types of pocket monsters will be attracted by smoke used by you. We have the detailed info in the guide for you.

The creators of Pokémon Go have activated another event that will take place alongside the Temporary Research Nostalgia Challenge 2020: Hoenn: Smoke Day. This is active from now, so today on May 17, 2020 since 11:00, still until 17:00 local time and revolves around the consumption item smoke. Because if you activate the smoke in Pokémon Go, specific types of Pokémon will be attracted during the event.

In addition, a few other bonuses are active. Among other things, the smoke attracts more of the Karnivanha pocket monster throughout the event, which you can also get in its iridescent form if you’re lucky. Below we have an overview of the basic details of the smoke day for you and then go into the specific times at which the smoke attracts Pokémon of certain types in front of your Pokéball lens.

Event: Smoke Day with Unlight and Water Pokémon starts at 11:00 a.m. local time on May 17, 2020, and ends at 5:00 p.m. local time
Smoke attracts more Karnivanha throughout the event
You can catch a Shiny Karnivanha if you’re lucky

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
