In this overview you will find all Spotlight Hours in July 2022 in Pokémon GO as well as the respective Pokémon, bonuses and times. We at MeinMMO will also tell you which monsters you can meet as Shinys and whether the short events are worthwhile.
What are spotlight hours? Every Tuesday, Pokémon GO hosts a 60-minute short event that focuses on a specific Pokémon. You can find this anywhere in the wild. Which Pokémon that is is determined by the developers at Niantic.
In addition, the limelight hour has a special bonus in store for you. With this you can secure additional candies, XP or more stardust. We have summarized below which monsters and bonuses you can expect at which limelight hour.
When is Spotlight Hour? Spotlight Hour runs every Tuesday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time.
All dates of the limelight hours in July 2022

We’ve got all the Pokémon that you can encounter in their Shiny forms with one
marked.
Below we go into the individual Pokémon and their bonuses and show you whether it’s worth it.
Spotlight Hour on July 05, 2022 Which Pokemon?
At the first Spotlight Hour in July, you’ll meet the Bug and Flying Pokémon, Ledyba. It comes from the 2nd generation and can be further developed into Ledian. What bonus do you get?
In addition to numerous Ledyba spawns, you will receive double XP when catching Pokémon. Who is it worth it for?
Ledyba and its further development Ledian are not interesting for use in raids or in the PvP league. The spotlight hour is therefore worthwhile mainly because of the XP bonus when catching. Alternatively, you can also ignite a miracle box and catch Meltan during this time. Can you catch Shiny Ledyba?
Yes, with a bit of luck you can encounter a dazzling Ledyba.
Spotlight Hour on July 12, 2022 Which Pokemon?
Machollo awaits you in the second spotlight of July. The fighting-type Pokémon comes from the first generation of games and can be further developed via Machoke into Machamp. What bonus do you get?
During the Spotlight Hour with Machollo, catching the Pokémon will earn you Double Candy. Who is it worth it for?
Machollo himself is not particularly strong, but his further development Machomei can score with high attack and stamina values. It is therefore one of the best combat attackers in Pokémon GO and it is also impressive in the super and hyper leagues.
The bonus is also really good, because you have the opportunity to farm a lot of Machollo candies to level up Machamp. If that doesn’t interest you, you can also play raids during this time and get double candies there. Can you catch Shiny Machollo?
Yes, Machollo is also available in game in his shiny form.

Spotlight Hour on July 19, 2022 Which Pokemon?
During the third Spotlight Hour in July 2022, you will meet the Water-type Stardu. The monster from the 1st generation can be evolved into Starmie with 50 candies. What bonus do you get?
If you sort out your Pokemon and send them to Professor Willow during the short event, you’ll get Double Candy. Who is it worth it for?
Sterndu and Starmie are both not very strong, which is why they are less suitable in the PvP league and also in raids. It’s still worth catching Sterndu, because the water Pokémon is one of the 22 monsters that give you more Stardust.
So if you want to stock up on stardust, this limelight hour is a good opportunity. Because of the bonus, it’s also a good idea to sort out your Pokémon bag. Can you catch Shiny Stardu?
Yes, Stardu is also available as Shiny in Pokémon GO.
Spotlight Hour on July 26, 2022 Which Pokemon?
Meditie will be the focus for the fourth and final Spotlight session in July. This is a 3rd generation Fighting and Psychic-type Pokémon that can evolve into Meditalis. What bonus do you get?
Evolving Pokémon during Meditie Spotlight will earn you double XP. Who is it worth it for?
The Spotlight Hour is especially worthwhile for Trainers who are looking for a strong candidate for the GO Battle League. Even if Meditie itself is not particularly strong, its further development Meditalis can convince in the super league. Can you catch shiny meditate?
Yes, with a bit of luck you will also encounter a dazzling Meditie.
