Players can collect extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on June 4, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Makuhita will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.
Makuhita is a Fighting-type Pokemon from the third generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Makuhita into Hariyama using 50 Makuhita Candy.
Shiny Makuhita is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Makuhita has red-orange fists, while normal Makuhita has dark gray fists.
To make the most of this week’s Spotlight Hour event, remember you can activate an Incense to attract wild Pokemon to your location for a limited time. This will give you more Makuhita to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
Also remember that you can toss Pinap Berries at Pokemon to double the number of Pokemon Candy you receive when you catch them. This Pinap Berry bonus will stack with the Spotlight Hour bonus, allowing you to earn lots of Pokemon Candy for each Pokemon you capture during this event.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, three more of these events are scheduled to take place in June 2024. Here’s the schedule:
