Pokemon GO August Spotlight Hour Spawn Rate and Shiny Appearance
During the Pokemon GO August spotlight hour, the featured Pokemon will appear frequently for only 60 minutes. This provides an excellent opportunity to find and collect enough candies to power up, evolve, or do both.
Furthermore, in Pokemon GO, you might encounter the shiny version of the featured Pokemon during spotlight hours. However, the likelihood of finding these shiny Pokemon remains the same. To increase your chances of finding and catching one, you can use items like Adventure Incense. Just keep in mind that finding a shiny Pokemon depends entirely on luck. Good luck in finding your shiny Pokemon!
What Is a Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO?
During Pokemon Go spotlight hours, trainers can catch a specific Pokemon more frequently, resulting in an increased spawn rate for that Pokemon for a limited time.
Pokemon GO spotlight hours also offer unique bonuses, including those in August. These bonuses usually come in the form of increased XP gains, better Stardust gains, and more. So, if you want to level up faster or earn more Stardust to level up your Pokemon, participating in these events is the best way.
