Players can collect extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on October 31, 2023 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Yamask will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.
Yamask is a Ghost-type Pokemon from the fifth generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Yamask into Cofagrigus using 50 Yamask Candy.
Shiny Yamask is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Yamask is blue and silver, rather than black and gold.
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 Yamask to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
You can also toss Pinap Berries at Pokemon to double the number of Pokemon Candy you receive when you capture 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.
