In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Arktip starts today, December 20. We will show you everything about the bonuses, Shinys, and the times of the event.
What kind of event is this? Today, the second-to-last Spotlight Hour in 2022 for Pokémon GO starts. During this event, a single Pokémon is in focus and appears almost everywhere in the wild. At the beginning of the month, the developers from Niantic already revealed which Pokémon and bonuses to expect.
In line with the events, there is a bonus that rewards you with Stardust, XP, or more candy. We will show you everything you need to know about the Spotlight Hour with Arktip here in the overview.
Spotlight Hour on December 20 – Start, Bonuses, Shiny
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts at 6:00 PM and lasts for 60 minutes. Around 7:00 PM, the spawns should normalize again and the bonus will be turned off.
What bonuses are there? You will encounter Arktip almost everywhere in the wild. The Pokémon comes from the sixth generation of games and is an Ice type. It can evolve into Arktilas.
You will receive double the amount of candy for catching Pokémon. Keep in mind that this applies not only to catches of Arktip but to all Pokémon caught during the event.
In the next Spotlight Hour, you can expect Petznief:
Can you catch Shiny Arktip? Yes, but only for a short time. The event “Winter Holidays 2022 Part 1” unlocked the Shiny version of Arktip.
Is it worth it to attend the Spotlight Hour today? As an attacker, Arktip is not particularly strong. Its evolution Arktilas is at least in PvE in the midfield, but there are many stronger alternatives. In PvP, it ranks in the lower midfield of the Super and Hyper League, and it’s slightly better in the Master League. It will not be a must-attend event for you.
Keep in mind that there will be a raid day with Hisui-Arktilas on December 24. All events in December 2022 can be found here.
