Today, on May 23rd, the Spotlight Hour with Pionskora begins in Pokémon GO. We will show you everything about Shiny, bonuses, and start time for this short event.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour begins in Pokémon GO. For you, this means that for 60 minutes, a Pokémon will be the focus, which Niantic has determined at the beginning of the month. There is also a bonus that can affect more XP, candies, or stardust. Every Tuesday, a different combination of Pokémon and bonus occurs.
Today, you will encounter the Pokémon Pionskora from the fourth generation and you will receive more experience points.
Spotlight Hour on May 23rd with Pionskora
When does it start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour also starts today again at 6:00 PM local time for you. The event is only active for one hour and ends again at 7:00 PM. So if you want to participate, you need to hurry.
What bonuses are there? Almost everywhere in the wild, you will encounter Pionskora. If you want even more encounters, you can also light incense to attract even more specimens.
Additionally, you will receive double the amount of experience points for evolving Pokémon. This applies to all Pokémon you evolve during the event.
Today’s event is the penultimate Spotlight Hour this month. An overview of what to expect next week can be found here:
Can you catch Shiny Pionskora? Yes, the shiny version of Pionskora is already active in Pokémon GO and can be caught by you. However, keep in mind that the chances of a Shiny encounter during the Spotlight Hours are not increased. So you will need a lot of luck to catch one.
Is it worth participating in the Spotlight Hour today? You can skillfully ignore Pionskora as an attacker. However, its evolution, Piondragi, makes it into the upper midfield in the Super League and Hyper League. As a raid attacker, however, you shouldn’t necessarily use it. There are many better alternatives.
If you are still on the way from Level 41 to Level 50, the additional experience points you receive for your evolutions could tempt you. Maybe check before the event starts which specimens from your collection you want to evolve and make good use of the bonus.
