In Pokémon GO today, on May 30th, the Spotlight Hour with Houndoom begins. We will show you everything about Shinies, bonuses, and start times for the event.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, there is a Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. For trainers, this means that for 60 minutes, a Pokémon selected by Niantic is the focus of the game. The short event is accompanied by a bonus that can affect XP, candies, or stardust. Each week, the combination of Pokémon and bonus changes.
On this Tuesday, you will encounter the Pokémon Houndoom and receive more stardust.
Spotlight Hour on May 30th with Houndoom
When does it start? As you already know from the Spotlight Hours, it starts today at 6:00 PM. The event will then be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? If you play during the event, you will find Houndoom almost everywhere in the game. Encounters are noticeably increased during the Spotlight Hours. If you want to encounter the Pokémon even more often, you can light incense for support.
For catching Pokémon, you will also receive double the amount of stardust. So it’s definitely worth using the 60 minutes to catch a lot if you want to replenish your stardust.
This event is the last Spotlight Hour in May. You can see which Pokémon were in focus this month here:
Can you catch Shiny Houndoom? Yes, the shiny form of Houndoom is already active in Pokémon GO and can be caught by you with some luck. However, keep in mind that Shiny chances are not increased during a Spotlight Hour.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? If you are looking for strong attackers for raids, then today’s Spotlight Hour is an important date for you. Houndoom ranks among the best raid attackers in the upper midfield. Its Mega Evolution is among the best attackers you can have in the game.
Even if you are not interested in Houndoom and its evolutions, the stardust bonus is worth it for you.
