Today, on July 20, 2021, the Spotlight Hour featuring Squirtle starts in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO have looked at why you should take advantage of the Spotlight Hour.
What is a Spotlight Hour? For trainers in Pokémon GO, there is a one-hour event every Tuesday where a specific Pokémon is in the spotlight. During this short event, this monster spawns particularly frequently. Additionally, there will be a special bonus for players during this time. This also changes weekly.
This week, during the Spotlight Hour, you will encounter the starter Pokémon Squirtle. It is a Water-type Pokémon. Furthermore, during this time, you will receive double candy when sending Pokémon.
Squirtle and its first evolution Wartortle have relatively low values in attack and stamina. They are thus among the weaker monsters in the game. Even Blastoise, the second evolution, can only display average values. Its use in the PvP league and raids is conceivable, but there are more suitable Water-type Pokémon. This is different for Mega Blastoise. It can impress with strong attack and defense values.
Spotlight Hour with Squirtle – Start Time and Bonuses
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM local time. It lasts exactly one hour and thus ends at 7:00 PM.
This is the bonus: Today, you will receive double candy for sending Pokémon.
Is there a shiny version of Squirtle? Yes, Squirtle has been available in its shiny variant in the game for some time. It has a slightly brighter blue tint than the normal Squirtle.
Is the Spotlight Hour with Squirtle worth it?
Squirtle is one of the starter Pokémon from the first generation. For this reason, this monster has been caught more frequently in the game. Even though Squirtle is not very strong in its basic form, it is worth catching a strong specimen to evolve into Mega Blastoise later. Shiny hunters can also go on the hunt for a shiny specimen.
If you already have enough Squirtle, you should definitely take advantage of the bonus today. You will receive double candy for sending Pokémon. Due to the GO Fest from last weekend, you probably have one or two monsters that you wanted to sort out.
Use the Spotlight Hour to get a few extra candies for your rare Pokémon. We have summarized how you can best sort your Pokémon in preparation for the Spotlight Hour today.
Will you take advantage of the bonus during the Spotlight Hour today and send your Pokémon from the GO Fest? Or would you rather catch lots of Squirtle during this time? Let us know your opinion on our MeinMMO page in the comments.
