On Pokémon GO, a new spotlight hour takes place on August 19, 2025. Joining in: Trasla. We look at the content and bonuses.
When does the spotlight hour start? The next August spotlight hour starts on August 19 at 6:00 PM. As usual, you have 60 minutes from the event start to catch the event Pokémon and utilize the bonuses.
Which Pokémon appears? This time, Trasla appears during the spotlight hour. This Pokémon comes from Generation 3, belongs to the Fairy and Psychic types, and also brings several evolutions: Kirlia, Guardevoir, and Galagladi. Female Kirlia evolve into Guardevoir, while male Kirlia evolve into Galagladi.
What bonus is there? Today, you will receive double the number of candies for all Pokémon you catch during the spotlight hour. This applies to Trasla, as well as all other Pokémon you encounter during the hour.
Trasla’s Spotlight Hour on August 19, 2025 is worth it!
This is what makes Trasla exciting: Firstly, Trasla’s final evolution Guardevoir is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Getting a strong Guardevoir for the collection is always worthwhile. Moreover, both Guardevoir and Galagladi have Mega Evolutions. Although you cannot collect energy during the hour for those, it is still beneficial to have a good specimen on hand.
Strong bonus: Double the amount of candies is always a good thing. If you catch Pokémon with a Sanana Berry, you will even receive quadruple the amount. Thus, you can collect a good amount of candies during the hour today.
And not just for Trasla: Currently, there are also plenty of exciting raid bosses and Dyna Pokémon out there. The “Darkness” event is currently running. On Tuesday, you can encounter strong monsters like Lavados, Zapdos, and Arktos in Dyna battles – but also many others. And in the raid, Zacian and Zamazenta are currently featured.
So: The hour today is worth it.
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? The mentioned Darkness event runs until the end of the week and culminates in the Dyna finale. The big bad boss of the whole event is the powerful Pokémon Endynalos, which you can currently catch for the first time in Pokémon GO. How? We summarize all the information for you here: All information about Endynalos in Pokémon GO and how you can catch it.
