Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour: Start Date and Time, Bonuses

Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour is a weekly event many players look forward to. The Spotlight Hour increases the spawn rate of Pokemon in the wild and bonuses for Candy, Stardust, or XP. As part of the Halloween events in Pokemon Go, players will be able to catch more Ghost-type Pokemon this time around. This week’s Spotlight Hour features the Stump Pokemon Phantump, while the next one will feature Yamask, so here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour, including date and time, active bonus, shiny availability, and more.

Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour date & time

The Spotlight Hour happens from 6 PM to 7 PM (local time) in Pokemon Go. During the most recent Spotlight Hour, Pokemon spawn rates were high and you could catch as many as you wanted including shiny variants since they are available for Pokemon. With so many spawns during the Spotlight Hour event, it is a great time to go shiny hunting but players need to keep in mind that shiny rates will not be boosted during the event.

Spotlight Hour bonuses

You can enjoy a bonus of double XP for catching Pokemon from every species you capture during the Spotlight Hour. You can also get double Stardust, double evolving XP, Catch and Transfer Candy depending on the bonuses set up for that particular Spotlight Hour. You can further increase this bonus by activating one or two Lucky Eggs during the Spotlight Hour.
