This evening, on June 23, a spotlight hour with Clefairy starts in Pokémon GO. You have a good chance for shinies and earn a lot of XP. We will show you what happens during the event.
What is a spotlight hour? It is a recurring event in Pokémon GO. It takes place on Tuesday evenings and features a specific Pokémon in the spotlight. This means that this species will appear everywhere on the map for one hour. Additionally, the developers activate a bonus to make the event even more enticing.
Today, it’s all about the fairy-type Pokémon Clefairy. You will encounter it significantly more often in the game for one hour. This is especially worthwhile for those who still need to reach level 40 or collect shinies.
Spotlight hour in June with Clefairy
When does it start? As usual, the spotlight hour starts today at 6:00 PM German time. The event is active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM German time.
The next spotlight hour starts on June 30 with double candy.
What bonuses are there? You should continually encounter Clefairy nearby. The Pokémon appears significantly more often than usual and should also be found more frequently than other species in the wild.
In addition, you will receive double the amount of experience points for catching Pokémon. If you are still on your way to level 40, be sure to activate a lucky egg to receive quadruple XP for catching Pokémon.
We spoke with Niantic about the level increase in Pokémon GO, shinies, and more.
Can you catch shiny Clefairy? Yes. If you’re lucky, the shiny form of Clefairy can also appear during the spotlight hour. This form is rarer than the “normal” form and especially popular among collectors.
Visually, the two forms differ significantly at the ears. The shiny has green colors on the ears.
What happens after this event? Until Wednesday evening at 10:00 PM local time, the solstice event is still ongoing. Then there will be a short break, and on Friday, the next event, the Bug Out event, will begin. There will again be some shinies to catch and bonuses to collect.
