All dates of the limelight hours in June 2023

Spotlight Hour on June 6th

Which Pokemon? At the first spotlight hour in June, you can expect 5 Pokémon at once. This is a special feature for these events, where otherwise only one specimen is in focus. You will meet Krabby, Kabuto, Cancer Corps, Scampisto and Krabbox.

What bonuses are active? You get triple the experience points for catching Pokémon.

Who is it worth it for? Different Pokémon are worthwhile for you depending on the use:

  • Kingler, the evolution of Krabby, is a good PvE attacker. However, also a glass cannon
  • Kabutops, the evolution of Kabuto, isn’t particularly strong
  • Krebutak, the advancement of Cancer Corps, is quite okay as a PvE attacker. But there are many stronger alternatives
  • Wummer, the evolution of Scampisto, isn’t particularly strong
  • Krawell, the evolution of Krabbox, isn’t particularly strong
  • The triple XP bonus is especially worthwhile for players who are on their way to level 50.

    Which Shinys can you catch? You can catch the Shinys from Krabby, Kabuto, Krebscorps and Scampisto. Only Krabbox does not yet have a dazzling version in Pokémon GO.

    Which Pokemon? At the second Spotlight Hour in June, you’ll meet the Pokémon Bithora. It is from the sixth generation of the game and can evolve into Thanathora.

    What bonuses are active? For catching Pokemon, you get twice the amount of Candy.

    Who is it worth it for? Thanathora plays in the lower midfield of the Superliga in PvP. In the Hyperliga, the attacker still makes it into the upper midfield, but has many stronger alternatives. You will not find a must-have attacker on this date.

    What bonuses are active? For sending Pokemon, you get double the amount of candy.

    Who is it worth it for? Neither Suncore nor Sunflora are important attackers in Pokémon GO. So you can use the hour mainly because of the shipping bonus or hope for your chance to find shinys.

    Spotlight Hour on June 27th

    Which Pokemon? At the fourth and final Spotlight Hour in June, you will meet Dodu from the first generation of the game.
