Today, there will be a spotlight hour in Pokémon GO featuring Hoppspross. We have summarized what bonus will be available and if the monster will appear as shiny below.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, there is a spotlight hour in Pokémon GO. This event lasts for 60 minutes and focuses on a Pokémon that appears almost exclusively and in significantly higher numbers during that time. Additionally, an extra bonus is activated for the duration of the spotlight hour.
Today, you can encounter Hoppspross. This Pokémon comes from the 2nd generation of games and belongs to the types grass and flying. It can evolve into Hubelupf and then into Papungha.
Spotlight Hour on March 26 – Start and Bonuses
When does the spotlight hour start? As usual, the spotlight hour today, on March 26, starts at 6:00 PM. After exactly 60 minutes, it ends again at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? While the spotlight hour is active, you will encounter a large number of Hoppspross. If you activate incense during this time, you can further increase the number of Hoppspross.
If you catch Pokémon during the spotlight hour, you can also look forward to double the amount of candies. This time, this is the active bonus for the spotlight hour.
Can you catch a shiny Hoppspross? Yes, during the spotlight hour, you might be lucky enough to encounter a shiny version of Hoppspross. However, the chances are not inherently increased.
Is the spotlight hour worth it? Unfortunately, neither Hoppspross nor its evolutions are strong Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It’s not worth using Hoppspross or its evolutions in battle leagues or raids. There are far better Pokémon that belong to the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Are you looking forward to this spotlight hour? Will you participate? Or are you not particularly interested in either Hoppspross or the catching bonus? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
