In Pokémon GO another spotlight hour starts tonight. This time it’s all about Spoink. We give you the overview of the event.
What is the spotlight hour? This event series is currently being tested in Pokémon GO. Last week, Onix kicked things off, and this time it’s Spoink’s turn.
Within an hour, this event Pokémon will spawn more frequently and you can go shiny hunting.
Spotlight Hour with Spoink – All Information
When does it start? The spotlight hour starts today, February 11th, at 6 PM. You can encounter Spoink more frequently for one hour, until 7 PM.
What exactly will happen today? During the event, you will encounter Spoink more frequently. The Pokémon won’t be found on every corner, but it will be significantly more present.
You might also encounter a shiny, as Spoink can also be found in its shiny version.
How do we know this already? Players in New Zealand and Australia can already play the spotlight hour. It is already 6 PM there.
This information about Spoink comes from those countries. So you can be sure that Spoink will appear everywhere here in a few hours.
The players from these regions already report that the spawn rate of Spoink is better than last week’s Onix. There was some criticism because in some regions there were too few Onix to find. With Spoink, that should be different now.
Is this event worth it? From a usability perspective, Spoink is not relevant. It is useless in raids and does not play a significant role in the currently relevant Great League.
However, for shiny hunters, Spoink might be interesting. The Pokémon doesn’t appear that frequently outside of events, and some may still be hoping for a shiny. During the event hour, you have a good chance of encountering one.
What’s behind this event? Niantic is trying something new here. They are now planning to introduce two more events, in addition to the raid hour on Wednesdays.
While the spotlight hour takes place on Tuesdays, the bonus hour will run on Thursdays. During this hour, there will be a special bonus, which will be announced later.
The storm Sabine continues to rage. Perhaps this time, not only dragon Pokémon will lure you outside:
