Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour: featured Pokémon and bonuses (November 2024)

Every Tuesday, one lucky Pokémon gets to be the center of attention for one hour. When Tuesday rolls around, and the clock strikes 6 pm, it’s time for the Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO!

As a real quick reminder, the Spotlight Hour is held every Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm in your local time zone. For the duration of this hour, the spawn rate of a single Pokémon will go through the roof, appearing in droves around the world! Additionally, while the Hour is running, you may have an increased chance to find shiny Pokémon, as well as bonuses to XP, Stardust, or Pokémon Candy. So, who’s on deck this week?
