In Pokémon GO there is a spotlight hour featuring Sableye today, November 27, 2021. We at MeinMMO have looked into what to expect from this short event and who should take advantage of it.
What is this spotlight hour about? As it was yesterday, there will also be a special spotlight hour today as part of the Hoopa event. This short, one-hour event usually takes place on Tuesdays, but Hoopa brings you more of these events this weekend with its antics.
Like every other spotlight hour, there will be a specific Pokémon in focus, which will appear more frequently. Today, it is Sableye.
Spotlight Hour with Sableye – Start, Shiny, and Strength
When does the spotlight hour start? Today, November 27, 2021, at 12:00 PM local time, the short event begins. As always, it lasts a full hour and ends at 1:00 PM local time.
What bonuses are there? Of course, you will encounter numerous Sableye spawning in the wild at every corner today. With the help of incense, you can also attract more specimens. However, today’s spotlight hour does not bring you a special bonus.
As with yesterday’s hour, you can still benefit from the general bonuses of the Hoopa event, which give you double experience points when catching and double candies when sending.
Is Sableye available as a Shiny? Yes, Sableye is available in its shiny form in the game. Look out for a yellow specimen.
How strong is Sableye? The Dark and Ghost-type Pokémon comes from Generation 3 and has neither a pre-evolution nor a further evolution. While Sableye does not play a role in raids due to its rather average stats, it can shine in the Great League (via pvpoke.com).
Why you should take advantage of the spotlight hour today
Primarily, Sableye is interesting for trainers looking for a strong Dark and Ghost Pokémon for the Great League. But shiny hunters will also get a good deal today.
Stardust Bonus: Another major advantage is the Stardust boost you get from Sableye. This Pokémon belongs to the 22 monsters that give you extra Stardust when caught.
Thus, you get 750 Stardust for each Sableye caught. If you also use a Star Piece, it goes up to 1,125 Stardust. If it is also misty in your area, then the creature gets an additional weather bonus, and you can secure up to 1,406 Stardust per specimen.
Useful for Hoopa research: However, the spotlight hour with Sableye can be especially useful for some trainers today. Those who are still stuck on the special research “Misunderstood Antics” and thus need to catch Dark and Ghost Pokémon will definitely find what they need today.
Sableye belongs to both types. Thus, 30 specimens are enough to complete both task parts. We also compiled 5 tips on how to complete the special research on Hoopa in time.
