The Spotlight Hour on May 20th in Pokémon GO features Fiffyen for you. And what else? We summarize that here for you.
What is the Spotlight Hour? This hour always takes place on Tuesday evenings. The third Spotlight Hour in May will run on May 20, 2025.
During this hour, you will encounter a specific Pokémon that is in focus, everywhere in the wild. Additionally, there is always a bonus.
When does the Spotlight Hour start? It starts at 6:00 PM, lasts for 60 minutes, and ends at 7:00 PM.
What is the Pokémon on May 20th? It is Fiffyen, which comes from the games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. It can evolve into Magnayen.
What is the bonus? The bonus grants you double XP when evolving during the Spotlight Hour.
How to use the Spotlight Hour with Fiffyen and XP
Is Fiffyen strong? No, it is not. And its evolution, Magnayen, is also not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. This applies both in raids and in the battle league. In short: If you’re looking for a strong fighter, Fiffyen is not the right monster for you.
Can Fiffyen be shiny? Yes, you can catch the shiny version. However, you need luck, as the shiny rate is not increased during the Spotlight Hour. Nevertheless, one can take advantage of the sheer number of Fiffyen spawns to try their luck.
An hour to gather XP: The most exciting part of the hour is probably the XP bonus for evolutions. It’s best to use the filter function of your Pokémon collection, where you can set it so that only the Pokémon that can evolve are displayed. You can also already conduct a corresponding search before the hour and tag all monsters you want to evolve.
Then you’ll quickly have everything together on Tuesday evening and just need to carry out the evolutions. That way, you can gain a lot of XP if you’re still on your way to level 50. Optionally, use a lucky egg to further increase the XP yield.
What’s next in Pokémon GO? With many more dates, because May has quite a bit to offer. Gigantamax Machomei celebrates its debut in the game before the month is over. Additionally, events like the Community Day Classic with Machollo or “Battle Week: Critical Hit” are upcoming. Want an overview? Then check here: All events in May 2025 in Pokémon GO.
