When is Phanpy Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO?

Phanpy Spotlight Hour begins on Tuesday, January 26, from 6 PM to 7 PM Local Time. Because the time zone is Local Time, it will start earlier in some regions than others. Keep an eye on your clock and wait until 6 PM if you’re looking to get in on the action. During this time, you’ll have some bonuses for an hour. 

Phanpy Spotlight Hour Bonuses

As with every Spotlight Hour, trainers’ main bonus is a higher spawn rate for the featured Pokemon. Trainers can also get double Candy for transferring Pokemon during this time, so it’s an excellent opportunity to clean out your inventory. Evolve your Phanpy into Donphan with 50 Phanpy Candy.

When your inventory is getting full of Phanpys, it’s a good idea to go through them and start transferring away! Get rid of the low IV Pokemon to take advantage of the bonus.

The best Phanpy movesets include:

  • Tackle and Rock Slide
  • Rock Smash and Rock Slide
  • Tackle and Bulldoze

Enjoy today’s Pokemon GO Phanpy Spotlight Hour!
