Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour events have become a popular and exciting feature in the game since their introduction in February 2020. These weekly events offer players the opportunity to encounter a special Pokémon and enjoy bonus rewards for a limited time.

During the Spotlight Hour, which takes place every Tuesday from 6pm to 7pm local time, a specific surprise Pokémon will spawn more frequently in the wild. This gives players a chance to catch, evolve, and even find a Shiny version of the featured Pokémon. Additionally, a Mystery Bonus is activated during this hour, adding an extra element of excitement to the gameplay.
