Today, on May 16, the Spotlight Hour with Knofensa starts in Pokémon GO. We show you everything about Shiny, bonuses, and the event times in the overview.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday, a Spotlight Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. During these events, a specific Pokémon is focused on along with a bonus. The Pokémon and bonuses are determined by the developers at Niantic at the beginning of a month for the upcoming weeks. The bonuses affect Stardust, candies, or XP.
In today’s Spotlight Hour, you will encounter Knofensa and receive a bonus that gives you more candies.
Spotlight Hour on May 16 with Knofensa
When does it start? As you are used to from events of this kind, the Spotlight Hour begins at 6:00 PM local time. The event is active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? During the Spotlight Hour, you will encounter Knofensa almost everywhere in the wild. If you want even more spawns, you can use incense.
Additionally, you will receive double the amount of candies for sending Pokémon. This applies not only to Knofensa but to all Pokémon you send during the event time.
This Spotlight Hour is the third one in May. Two more dates are still ahead:
Can you catch Shiny Knofensa? Yes, the shiny version of Knofensa has been active in Pokémon GO for a long time and can be caught by you. However, you need a good portion of luck for that. During Spotlight Hours, the chances of getting Shinies are not increased.
Is the Spotlight Hour today worth it? The latest evolution of Knofensa, Sarzenia, performs well in the Super League in PvP. The other Pokémon in this family are quite weak and not particularly suitable for raids.
Especially, the Spotlight Hour is worth it for tidying up your Pokémon collection and earning a lot of candies. Those looking for strong attackers should look at other events this month.
