In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Schneppke starts today, December 22. We show you the Shinies and bonuses in the event.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. For one hour, a special Pokémon is featured and appears everywhere.
Today is all about Schneppke. The Ice-type Pokémon also kicks off the Christmas event, which has also started today.
All information about the Spotlight Hour with Schneppke
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts at 6:00 PM local time and lasts exactly one hour. Afterwards, normal spawns from the Christmas event will return.
These are the bonuses: During the hour, spawns will be increased and Schneppke will appear everywhere.
Additionally, there are double candies for sending Pokémon. Instead of one candy, you will receive two.
Is there Shiny Schneppke? Yes, you can catch this Pokémon as a Shiny for several years now. It is blue instead of brown. Here you can see the Shiny form:
Is the event worthwhile? The double candies for sending are quite useful and can also be easily obtained from the sofa. So if you are not on a Shiny hunt, you can sort your Pokémon box during the hour and collect a few more candies.
This is also useful for the XL Candies, as 100 regular candies can be turned into one XL Candy. If you send a lot of Pokémon, this exchange is definitely worth it.
What’s next? In December, there is still another Spotlight Hour waiting for you. On December 29, Shnebedeck will be in focus.
Meanwhile, the Christmas event is also still running, which is active until December 31. The first event for the new year is already known:
