Which events are particularly worthwhile in August?
Spotlight Hour with Magnemite: On August 3, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time, the Spotlight Hour with Magnemite takes place. Even if the Pokémon may not be very appealing to many of you, the bonus here is what makes it enticing. You will receive double the amount of Stardust for catching Pokémon.
If you play the hour effectively, you can easily replenish your Stardust supplies.
Hyperbonus Part 2: Starting from August 6, Hyperbonus Part 2 will commence. This brings Scaraborn Raids and Shiny Scaraborn to you. So, if you haven’t caught the regional Pokémon yet, you should definitely take advantage of the event with its raids. What to expect with the 2nd Hyperbonus in Pokémon GO.
Community Day with Eevee: The Community Day with Eevee begins on Friday, August 13, at half-past noon. From Friday, the evolutions of Eevee can already learn the special moves. Following that, there will be two days of Community Days, focusing on Eevee over the weekend.
For the shiny hunters, this is a good opportunity to catch more specimens for the shiny evolutions. For the Eevee event, trainers request a name trick reset.
Which of the events in August 2021 in Pokémon GO are you looking forward to the most? Are you targeting certain Spotlight Hours that you want to take full advantage of, or is your focus on the new raid boss?
