What kind of event is this? The spotlight hour is an event that takes place every Tuesday for an hour. During this time, a Pokémon is in the spotlight, which you will encounter almost exclusively in the wild.

Spotlight Hour on March 5
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On March 5, 2024, you will encounter Pamo during the spotlight hour. This Electric-type Pokémon comes from the 9th generation of the games and can evolve into Pamamo and then into Pamomamo.
What bonuses are active? In this spotlight hour, you will benefit from double experience points when evolving Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? Pamo and its evolutions are not strong Pokémon in raids or the battle league. The double experience points for evolving may be interesting for you if you have a backlog of Pokémon to evolve and are actively leveling up.
Can you catch Shiny Pamo? Pamo and its evolutions are currently not available as Shiny in Pokémon GO.
Spotlight Hour on March 12
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In this spotlight hour, you will encounter Nidoran♀. This Pokémon from the 1st generation can evolve into Nidorina and then into Nidoqueen.
What bonuses are active? If you catch Pokémon during this spotlight hour, you will receive double Stardust for it.
Is the event worth it? Nidoqueen does not play a significant role as an attacker in raids. In the battle league, it is acceptable in the hyper league, but there are many Pokémon that are better suited than Nidoqueen. The Stardust bonus can be worthwhile if you want to refresh your supply a bit.
Can you catch Shiny Nidoran♀? Yes, Nidoran♀ is available as Shiny in Pokémon GO and can also be encountered during the spotlight hour.
Spotlight Hour on March 19
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In the spotlight hour on March 19, there are 4 Pokémon in focus: Vulpix, Quapsel, Schneppke, and Hippopotas.
What bonuses are active? If you are out during this spotlight hour and catch Pokémon, you will receive double experience points for the catch.
Is the event worth it? Despite the selection of 4 Pokémon in this spotlight hour, none of them play a major role as attackers. Quappo and Hippoterus are acceptable in the battle league, but do not rank among the top. Here, the added experience points for catching Pokémon may be more interesting for you.
Can you catch the Pokémon as Shiny? Yes, all 4 Pokémon already have their Shiny variants available in Pokémon GO.
Spotlight Hour on March 26
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? Hoppspross is the Pokémon waiting for you in the spotlight hour on March 26. This Pokémon has the types Grass and Flying and belongs to the 2nd generation of the games. It can evolve into Hubelupf and then into Papungha.
What bonuses are active? In this spotlight hour, you will receive double candy for catching Pokémon.
Is the event worth it? Hoppspross and its evolutions are not recommended as raid Pokémon or attackers in the battle league. The double candy for catching Pokémon may be interesting for you here.
Can you catch Shiny Hoppspross? Yes, Hoppspross is already available as Shiny in Pokémon GO and will also be encountered in this form during the spotlight hour.
