To make the most of this week’s Spotlight Hour event, remember that you can activate an Incense to attract wild Pokemon to your location for a limited time. This will give you more of the featured Pokemon to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny version of each one.
You can also activate a Lucky Egg to double the number of experience points you receive when completing in-game actions for a limited time. This Lucky Egg bonus will stack with the Spotlight Hour bonus, allowing you to earn lots of experience points for each Pokemon you capture during this event.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, one more of these events is scheduled to take place in March 2024. During the Spotlight Hour event on March 26, 2024, Hoppip will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.
