After all, no one wants to spend a fortune to buy Pokemon GO account when you can just earn rewards in this and other similar Pokemon Go events!
What is the Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO?
Pokemon GO has plenty of exciting events, but none are as frequent as the beloved Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour. This takes place once every week, increasing the spawn rate of selected Pokemon who would otherwise be difficult to find. So, for one hour, you get to stock up on that particular species of Pokemon and fill out your Pokedex, and also earn Candy and eventually be able to evolve your Pokemon to the next level! In addition to increased spawn rates, each weekly Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour also brings with it a special bonus, including the likes of additional XP, for example. If you want to make the most of these bonuses, you might have to buy Pokemon Go items, although it’s not necessary.
When is the next Spotlight Hour?
We won’t have to wait too long for the next Spotlight Hour because it’s taking place this very Tuesday on the 27th from 6-7 PM local time and will feature none other than the ever-magnetic Magnemite! The electric and steel-type Pokemon features a moveset including abilities the likes of Pokemon Go Thunder Shock and Magnet Bomb, making it a formidable fighter to have by your side.
Keep in mind that Magnemite has two evolutions: firstly, Magnetron, which you can activate for 25 Candy, and then Pokemon Go Magnezone for 100 Candy. So be sure to pile up that Candy by catching and transferring Magnemite. Also, you’ll be getting Pokemon Go Double XP for evolving Pokemon during this week’s Spotlight Hour, so you’re not short of any incentives here!
How to prepare for the Spotlight Hour?
You want to make sure you’re ready to gather the greatest amount of Pokemon Go Candy possible. To do this, we recommend you stay close to PokeStops, as this will allow you quick access to Pokeballs to keep catching Magenemite and get your hands on the Candy. Additionally, you can also make use of other items to improve your chances. These include the following:
- Incense:this will attract Magnemite to your location for a set amount of time.
- Berries: these will double the amount of Pokemon Go Candy you receive from catching Magnemite.
- Lure Module:this will attract Magnemite towards the Pokestop it’s activated on, very similar to the Incense.
- Pokemon Storage:It’s vital you have room to spare so you can capture as many of the Magnemite species as possible without running out of space.
Combine the above Pokemon Go tips and tricks, and you might even get your hands on the Shiny variant of Magnemite!
