Pokémon Go Spotlight Hours are randomized little events that Niantic likes to run. We’re past the Halloween season by just a few hours, and Niantic has already announced the new batch of events for this month. Last month we saw Ghost-types reign supreme, now it’s much more fall-themed with Grass-types and the like. Here’s what we know about the upcoming 5 Spotlight Hours for November 2021.
For the month of November 2021, Spotlight Hours run from 6-7 pm on the assigned day, in your local time zone. Each iteration of the event will highlight one monster, and give out special capture rewards. Players can enjoy a little run of boosted spawns during this time, so get those Pokéballs ready.
The Candy and XP rewards return. This means that players who complete captures or transfers get bonus candy for the spotlight Pokémon, and other catches as well. Aside from the Candy and XP bonuses that are common, a few other things get thrown into the mix. Shiny versions sometimes spawn as well, with boosted spawn rates. So you Shiny hunters get a nice little boon as well.
