In Pokémon GO there is a Spotlight Hour with Scoppel today, April 12. We show you everything about the start, Shinies, and bonuses of the event.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For the duration of 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is in focus, which the developers determine at the beginning of each month.
Today it’s all about the Pokémon Scoppel from the 6th generation. It brings a bonus that gives you more XP.

When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at the usual time at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? During the event, you will find Scoppel almost everywhere in the wild. The Pokémon will also be attracted if you activate incense during the event time.
In addition, there is a bonus for evolving. For evolving Pokémon, you will receive double the amount of XP. This is especially worthwhile if you are still on the way from Level 41 to Level 50.
Can you catch Shiny Scoppel? Yes, Shiny Scoppel is in the game and with a bit of luck, you can catch one during the Spotlight Hour. However, the chances of finding a Shiny are not increased.
Is the Spotlight Hour today worth it?
Here’s how strong it will be: You can safely ignore Scoppel in PvP (against other trainers) and also in PvE (in raids). Its evolution, Grebbit, is quite strong in the Super League during trainer battles. With moves like Mud Shot and Earthquake, you have a really strong attacker.
However, Grebbit is not really worthwhile for raid battles and can be neglected.
The Spotlight Hour today is interesting for all trainers who want to expand their PvP collection and need a strong attacker from the mid-tier for the Super League. If you have set aside a few Pokémon for evolving, you will get double experience points, which can also be worthwhile.
