Pokemon GO: How to make the best use of the Smoke Day with Wiesor

This Sunday, April 19, the big Smoke Day starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you the times, bonuses, and the best ways to take advantage of the event.

This is the Smoke Day: This event is brand new in Pokémon GO and focuses on the item Smoke. For 6 hours, special Pokémon can be obtained from the smoke. Especially the Normal-type Pokémon Wiesor will appear frequently.

To ensure you know how to proceed best during the event, we provide you with an overview.

Smoke Day with Wiesor – Start Time and Bonuses

It’s exciting about the times: No matter where you are in the world, Smoke Day starts everywhere at 11:00 AM local time. You don’t need to consider time changes.

Make the Most of Smoke Day – What You Need to Know

These Pokémon will appear: For each hour, Niantic has already released a list of the respective types in focus, along with some Pokémon names:

• 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM: Water-type Pokémon like Quapsel, Tentacha, Seemops, and Perlu appear in the smoke
• 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM: This hour focuses on Fire-type Pokémon like Fukano, Ponita, Hunduster, and Lichtel
• 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Plant-type Pokémon such as Myrapla, Roselia, Liliep, and Kastadur appear in the smoke
• 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM: Psychic-type Pokémon such as Flegmon, Puppance, Bronzel, and Mollimorba will appear in the smoke
• 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM: Bug-type Pokémon like Raupy, Ledyba, Pionskora, and Wattzapf are the focus
• 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM: Finally, Ground-type Pokémon such as Felino, Schmerbe, Hippopotas, and Rotomurf will appear more frequently

This is what you should always do: As long as you have time, you should also use smoke. The item is extremely strong right now and brings many advantages. It doesn’t matter if you find the type currently appealing or not, you should use some smoke.

Per hour, the smoke attracts 60 Pokémon. That totals to 360 Pokémon you are guaranteed to see during the event.

This hour is particularly worth it: From a usability standpoint, the event hour from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM is particularly worthwhile. Here, Lichtel is expected to come from the smoke. Skelabra, the evolution of Lichtel, is among the best attackers of the Fire and Ghost type.

In addition to Lichtel, Fukano and Hunduster, also 2 potential Shinys that are quite rare outside of an event, will appear.

Complete your Special Research: Anyone still stuck on the Pokémon for the Special Research with Genesect can make significant progress during the event.

Starting at 12:00 PM, you can catch the Fire-type Pokémon you need for Stage 2 of 5. From 4:00 PM, there will be Ground-type Pokémon, but monsters like Schmerbe or Felino have Water as their secondary type. The Water-type Pokémon are needed for Stage 3 of 5. So, if your smoke spits out the right monsters, you could finish that stage right away.

Prepare Properly: The Smoke Day will significantly increase the number of Poké Balls used. If you only play from home and can’t spin any PokéStops, you will quickly run out of balls.

So, gather a little supply beforehand. 360 Pokémon will appear in the event from the smoke. Have at least 400 balls in stock if you want to play all hours.
