Tonight, on April 28th, a spotlight hour will start in Pokémon GO again. This time it’s all about Pidgey and a bonus that’s perfect for at home.
What is a spotlight hour? During this event, a Pokémon will appear more frequently for one hour. Additionally, the spawns are generally increased, and a suitable bonus completes the whole event, but only since a few weeks.
This time it’s all about the Pokémon Pidgey from the first generation.
All about the spotlight hour with Pidgey
When does the event start? It starts at 6 PM local time. You have exactly one hour to collect the bonuses.
What bonuses are there during the event? The highlight of the hour is the Pidgey, which will appear more frequently. Besides the spawns, you will also receive double XP when evolving Pokémon.
You can spend the spotlight hour perfectly at home, light a incense, and diligently evolve Pokémon in the meantime. If you’re quick, you can even make slightly over 100,000 XP in one hour.
Is Pidgey worth it? The Pokémon is probably regarded by many trainers as the epitome of gaining XP. This is because at the beginning of the game, one mainly evolved Pidgey to gain a lot of XP.
Back then, such mass evolutions were the fastest way to gain XP, and Pidgey was the most common Pokémon, so there were always enough candies available.
However, for those who do not have nostalgic memories of Pidgey, they can look forward to the shiny form, as the pigeon Pokémon can also be encountered in its shiny version. So if you still need a shiny here, you should definitely go on the hunt.
What’s next for the spotlight hour? There are currently no details available on this. Pidgey was the last Pokémon announced for the spotlight hour. A Pokémon for the upcoming Tuesday is not yet known.
Instead, there is now information about upcoming raid bosses for May. Three familiar faces are returning to the game.
