In Pokémon GO, the Spotlight Hour starts tonight, on October 6th, featuring a special Hat Pikachu. It looks like this will be one of the rarest Shinies in the game.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Such an event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. It highlights a special Pokémon for one hour. A bonus completes the event.
This week, a special Hat Pikachu is in the spotlight. It wears a cap that it has never had before.

When does it start? The event starts at 6:00 PM local time and runs for exactly one hour until 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? During the hour, Pikachu wearing the World Cup cap will appear everywhere. In addition, there will be double XP for catching Pokémon.
Is the Pikachu available as shiny? Yes! Some trainers from New Zealand and Australia report that you can catch Pikachu with this cap as shiny.
How rare will the new shiny be: This Pikachu is likely to be one of the rarest shinies in Pokémon GO. So far, the Pikachu with the World Cup cap does not exist, and it looks like it will only appear for this one hour.
The shiny will be available to each trainer for exactly one hour. Since it is time-restricted, the shiny will be extremely rare later on.
It remains to be seen whether Pikachu with this cap will return. Until then, the shiny will be very rare.
What’s next? In October, there are still some exciting spotlight hours waiting for you. Next week, the next Hat Pikachu will follow.
Additionally, there are many events awaiting you in October. The highlight is probably the Halloween event at the end of the month. A new raid boss and other exciting bonuses are in store for you.
There is still a lot to do in October!
