There are several ways you can obtain Smokie. Notably, you can fight the Smokie Field Boss (marked on the map) near the Loess Plains fast-travel point (coordinates: -874, -1471). However, you need to gather the following Bounty Tokens to access the boss fight:

• Warsect Terra Bounty Token x1
• Gildane Bounty Token x1
• Kitsun Noct Bounty Token x1

You can find these Pal Field Bosses scattered across Feybreak Island. Since their locations are marked on the map, finding them should be straightforward. After collecting all of the Bounty Tokens, access the Smokie Field Boss fight for a chance to catch the Pal. Use the Ultimate Sphere or the Exotic Sphere to increase the capture probability.

If you cannot catch the Smokie Field Boss, there are several places on Feybreak Island where you can locate the Pal in the wild. Lastly, the most efficient way to obtain Smokie is to breed specific types of Pals and hatch a Dark Egg.

Here are some of the breeding combos to get a Dark Egg and hatch Smokie in Palworld:

• Jolthog and Dazzi Noct
• Nox and Foxparks Cryst
• Lifmunk and Direhowl
• Tanzee and Gumoss
• Flopie and Ribbuny Botan

Put one male and one female Pal on the breeding farm to get the Dark Egg. Afterward, put that egg into an Egg Incubator to easily obtain Smokie in Palworld.
