The Things to Expect from Pokemon Go Spotlight Hours and (Mystery) Bonus Hours
According to the Nintendo Life site, there are several things that you can expect from Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour events. First, there is a significant increase in spawns of the featured Pokemon. Second, the meaning of increased spawns is that there will be increased odds of encountering a Shiny version of the featured Pokemon. It is important for you to note that these are not indicated on the map because you need to tap the Pokemon to see whether it is a Shiny version or not. Third, a temporary modification can be found from the Mystery Bonus where it is the same as the bonuses that you enjoyed during Community Day events.
The Things to Prepare for Pokemon Go Spotlight Hours
As you are able to see from the list of Spotlight hour schedules, this event only takes place for one hour. It means that you need to know what you should prepare so that you are ready to take part in the event. According to the Nintendo Life site, there are several things that you have to prepare for Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour.
-
- First, you have to make sure that you have enough Pokeballs and Pinap Berries for catching and evolving Spotlight Hour Pokemon.
- You need to have extra Ultra Balls and Razz Berries on hand to nab any hard to catch Pokemon that appears.
- Lures can be used to draw the featured Pokemon to you. However, it is important for you to know that Spotlight Hour events do not increase Lure time like their Community Day counterparts. It means that you only get 30 minutes from a Lure.
- You need to have enough space in your Pokemon Storage Box for all the Pokemon that you will catch. You have to remember that you only have an hour so that you have to make sure that you do not waste your time.
- Make sure that Star Pieces, Lucky Eggs and Super Incubators are on standby, but of course it depends on the nature of the bonus.
