Spotlight Hour on 10/5 with Driftloon – Bonuses and Times
When does it start? As always, the Spotlight Hour today starts at 6:00 PM local time. The event is active for one hour and ends around 7:00 PM. After that, the spawns will return to those that were active outside of the event hour.
What bonuses are there? While the Spotlight Hour is active, you will find Driftloon almost everywhere in the wild. If you light a incense, most of the spawns will also be Driftloon.
This is accompanied by an XP bonus. For evolving Pokémon, you will receive double experience points during the event. This applies to all Pokémon and is not limited to Driftloon as the event Pokémon.
Which Pokémon and bonuses you can expect in the upcoming Spotlight Hours:
Is there Shiny Driftloon? Yes, you can catch the shiny version in Pokémon GO for quite some time now.
It looks quite different, as it appears in a golden color instead of purple.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today?
You need to know this: The event is especially worthwhile for players who have some Pokémon ready for evolution and want to earn a lot of XP with them. Driftloon was already in focus during a Spotlight Hour in January 2021 and is not particularly spectacular as a Pokémon itself.
So you should primarily use the Spotlight Hour for the bonus and the chance for Shinies.
In the coming days and weeks, there is still a lot for you to do in the game. Raid hours, the birthday event, Halloween, and much more.
We show you an overview of all events in October 2021 in Pokémon GO and which ones are worth it. Which of the upcoming events are you looking forward to the most?
