On February 10, 2026, the new Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. What’s in it? MyMMO reveals it!
When does the Spotlight Hour start? This week, the Spotlight Hour starts on February 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM. For 60 minutes, you will find a specific Pokémon everywhere in the wild and receive a bonus.
Which Pokémon appears? Somniam is the star of this week’s Spotlight Hour. It is a Psychic-type Pokémon that can evolve into Somnivora.
What bonus is there? You will receive double XP for each Pokémon you catch during the Spotlight Hour. This applies not only to Somniam but also to all other Pokémon like Raid bosses.
Is the Spotlight Hour with Somniam worth it?
Is Somniam strong? No, and its evolution Somnivora is not either. So if you are looking for new attackers for raids or the battle league, you should rather look for other Pokémon. Here you can find the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Can Somniam be Shiny? Yes, Shiny Somniam is in the game. You need a lot of luck, but it is theoretically possible to encounter it during the Spotlight Hour.
Is the bonus worth it? XP is always good if you are on the way to level 80. If you also activate a Luck Egg at the same time, you will even receive four times the amount of XP.
Overall, the Spotlight Hour is an event that is primarily for collectors, or for those who are on the hunt for XP.
