In Pokémon GO, the next spotlight hour is waiting for you. Here you can look forward to the Pokémon Togedemaru and a stardust bonus.
What kind of event is this? Every week on Tuesday, there is a so-called spotlight hour in Pokémon GO. This is a recurring event where one Pokémon is in focus and appears in very high numbers during the event.
Additionally, there is a bonus that is also active for 60 minutes.
In the next spotlight hour, Togedemaru will take center stage. This Pokémon comes from Generation 7 and has the types Electric and Steel. It has no evolutions.
Spotlight Hour on July 30 – Start and Bonuses
When does the spotlight hour start? As usual, the spotlight hour starts at 6:00 PM. It lasts for 60 minutes and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? If you catch Pokémon during the event, you will receive double the amount of stardust. This bonus applies not only to catching Togedemaru but to all Pokémon you catch within the 60 minutes.
If you still have Pokémon encounters from field research open, for example, with Pokémon that generally give you more stardust, then this event is the perfect opportunity to catch those monsters.
Can you catch Shiny Togedemaru? Yes. If you are lucky, you might encounter the Shiny variant of Togedemaru during the event.
Is the spotlight hour worth it? Togedemaru is not a Pokémon that impresses with its abilities in raids. You won’t find it on the list of best attackers in Pokémon GO.
It doesn’t play a significant role in the battle leagues either. While it shouldn’t be represented at all in the Ultra and Master Leagues, it at least plays in the lower midfield of the Super League. However, you should prefer other Pokémon here.
If you want to add Shiny Togedemaru to your collection and haven’t had much luck so far, then this event could be the perfect opportunity for you to go on the hunt.
The additional stardust from the bonus can also help you replenish your supply a bit.
What do you think about the spotlight hour? Are you going out to take advantage of it, or would you rather stay at home?
