Today, October 10, 2023, a spotlight hour with Knilz is running in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you all the important information about the start of the event, the bonus and the shiny.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Every Tuesday, Pokémon GO hosts a one-hour event that focuses on a specific monster that spawns everywhere in the wild. This Pokémon is accompanied by an additional bonus that is intended to enhance the event.
Today it’s that time again and you can meet the plant-based Pokémon Knilz from the 3rd generation of games. We have summarized below when it spawns in the wild and what bonuses it brings you.
Spotlight Hour on October 10th – Launch, Bonuses & Shiny
When does the spotlight hour start? Like every Tuesday, the spotlight hour will run today from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
What bonuses are there? During the one-hour event you can mainly encounter Knilz in the wilderness. If the spawns aren’t enough for you, you can attract more specimens by activating a smoke.
In addition, you will receive double XP when you evolve Pokémon during this time. This not only affects the Grass-type Pokémon, but also all other monsters in the game that you can catch. Alternatively, you can also play raids or fire up the wonder box.
If you’re looking for catch XP or candies instead, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the upcoming spotlight hours in October:
Are there shiny knilz? Yes, with a bit of luck you can also come across a dazzling example of Knilz. However, keep in mind that the Shiny chance is not increased during the Spotlight Hour. If you discover a corresponding copy, you acknowledge it
Is the spotlight hour worth it? Yes, Knilz isn’t particularly strong himself, but he has a strong development with Kappilz. The grass-based Pokémon can score points with a high attack and good attacks, which is why it is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
In addition, Knilz is one of the 22 monsters that give you more stardust when you catch them. This way you get 500 stardust for a normal catch. If you also use a star piece and a weather boost is active, you can even receive up to 938 stardust per catch. So if you still need stardust or are looking for a strong attacker for raids, you should take advantage of the event.
What did you think of the content of today’s spotlight hour? Will you secure Knilz? Or are you hoping for a strong attacker in the coming weeks? Please let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
By the way: Players are currently suffering from a shortage of Poké Balls and believe the developers have secretly taken them away.
