Players can receive extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on May 7, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when transferring Pokemon.
Hitmonchan is a Fighting-type Pokemon from the first generation of the Pokemon universe. It does not evolve into any other Pokemon.
Shiny Hitmonchan is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Hitmonchan is green with blue boxing gloves, rather than tan with red-orange boxing gloves.
Hitmonlee is a Fighting-type Pokemon from the first generation of the Pokemon universe. It does not evolve into any other Pokemon.
Shiny Hitmonlee is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Hitmonlee is green, rather than brown.
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 one.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, three more of these events are scheduled to take place in May 2024. Here’s the schedule:
