Players can collect extra experience points for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on April 18, 2023 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Trapinch will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of experience points when evolving Pokemon.
Trapinch is a Ground-type Pokemon from the third generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Trapinch into Vibrava using 25 Trapinch Candy and then evolve Vibrava into Flygon using 100 Trapinch Candy.
Shiny Trapinch is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Trapinch is green, rather than orange.
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 Trapinch to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, one more of these events will take place in April 2023. During the Spotlight Hour event on April 25, 2023, Tangela will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of experience points when catching Pokemon.
