Spotlight Hour Strategies
Each Spotlight Hour offers more than just the chance to catch rare Pokemon. It’s a time to reap additional rewards and strengthen your Pokemon collection. Whether you’re aiming to evolve your Pokemon or complete your Pokedex, these hours are invaluable.
For instance, the combination of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee on May 7 is a special treat, allowing trainers to focus on two formidable fighters in a single hour.
Evolution Bonuses and Shiny Possibilities
During Abra’s Spotlight Hour on May 14, trainers can enjoy a Double Evolution XP bonus, perfect for evolving not just Abra but any Pokemon in their collection. Additionally, Abra can be shiny in Pokemon GO, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. However, remember that the Spotlight Hour doesn’t increase your chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon. It’s a test of luck and persistence.
Preparing for Success
To maximize your gains during each Spotlight Hour, consider stocking up on essential items such as Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, Incenses, Lure Modules, Pinap Berries, and Razz Berries. These items enhance your XP, Stardust, Pokemon encounters, and catch rates, ensuring a fruitful hour of gameplay.
Even if you miss the one-hour window, don’t fret. You can still encounter the featured Pokemon, albeit at the standard encounter rate.
Pokemon GO’s May 2024 Spotlight Hours offer a treasure trove of opportunities for trainers to level up, catch rare Pokemon, and enjoy bonus rewards. Stay tuned, plan your strategies, and embark on memorable Pokemon-catching adventures throughout the month.
