Spotlight Hour on March 11 – Start and Bonuses

When does the Spotlight Hour start? The Spotlight Hour starts, as you are used to, at 6:00 PM. It ends again at 7:00 PM.

What bonus is active? During the event, there is a bonus for evolving Pokémon. For each Pokémon you evolve, you receive double the amount of experience points. The bonus applies to all evolutions you perform.

Can you catch Shiny Roselia? Yes, with a bit of luck, you might also encounter the Shiny variant of Roselia.

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? Roserade, the evolution of Roselia, can be played as both a Grass and a Poison attacker. In both variants, you will find the monster on the list of best attackers in Pokémon GO.

In the Battle League, however, you should not rely on Roserade. Unfortunately, it is not a serious contender there.

If you currently have some Pokémon that you want to evolve, you can use the event to gain some extra experience points. If you use Lucky Eggs, you will receive a total of four times the experience points.

As usual, March not only offers the Spotlight Hours in the game. There are many other events and content that await you in the coming weeks. If you want to know what they are, take a look at our overview of all events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO.
