The spotlight hour in Pokémon GO today is worth it. There is a good bonus and the chance to catch a rare Pokémon.
What is the spotlight hour? The spotlight hour is a weekly event that takes place every Tuesday. It starts at 6:00 PM and usually features a specific Pokémon in the spotlight. This Pokémon appears everywhere for one hour.
What’s special about today: Instead of just one Pokémon, there are two of them this week that will be featured during the spotlight hour.
- Wadribie
- Teddiursa
What bonus is there? In addition to the two Pokémon, you’ll also receive double Stardust tonight. This creates a combination that you shouldn’t miss.
Spotlight hour is worth it because of Wadribie
Why should I catch Wadribie? There are two reasons for this. First, Wadribie is a special Pokémon: Only its female variant can evolve into Honweisel. This version is very rare and hardly appears in the game. Since many Wadribie will appear tonight, you have a much better chance of catching a female specimen. And maybe you’ll even be lucky and catch a Shiny – but the Shiny rate is not increased.
Second, Wadribie is among the Pokémon that give you more Stardust than normal Pokémon. This, combined with the doubled Stardust bonus, practically guarantees that you’ll collect a lot of Stardust tonight. And it’s always worth it because you need it, among other things, for leveling up and learning new moves.
In addition to Wadribie, Teddiursa is also out and about. This can also be worthwhile since it can evolve into Ursaluna via Ursaring. If you still need Teddiursa or candies for evolution, today is your chance.
Are Wadribie and Teddiursa strong? Only to a certain extent, as they and their evolutions are really not suitable as raid attackers. The same applies to Wadribie and Honweisel in the PvP combat league; there are simply better options. But at least Ursaluna, Teddiursa’s final evolution, is good for battling in the Master League. However, you will need a lot of candies for that.
Additional raids at 6:00 PM: Not only is the spotlight hour running at 6:00 PM today. Thanks to the current event, “On to Adventure,” there is also a raid hour at the same time tonight. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, Anego will appear in almost every gym. The poison attacker is also a good catch. And in the coming days, there will be even more legendary raid hours.
