Spotlight Hour on August 27 – Start and Bonuses
When does the spotlight hour start? As usual, the spotlight hour starts at 6:00 p.m. It ends 60 minutes later, at 7:00 p.m.
Which bonuses are active? An experience point bonus awaits you at the next Spotlight Hour. If you develop Pokémon during the event, you will receive double the amount of experience points.
Can you catch shiny Magnemite? Yes, you can also encounter the shiny version of Magnemite. The chance is not increased, but the high number of Magnemite spawns gives you some opportunities.
Is the spotlight hour worth it? If you evolve Magnemite into its final form, Magnezone, you get a powerful electric attacker for raids. Both the regular and the Crypto version of the monster are on the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
However, in the Battle League, Magnemite and its evolutions are less effective. You should rather use other monsters for this.
If you have a lot of Pokémon that you want to evolve, you can make the most of the event to collect some additional experience points when evolving. You can increase the experience points even further by using Lucky Eggs.
