How to prepare for Natu Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go
There are a few things you can prepare in order to make sure you use your time effectively:
- Make sure you have enough Poke Balls to catch multiple Spotlight Hour Pokemon.
- Make sure you have enough Berries to get double Candy or make catching easier.
- Clear out your Pokemon Storage Box to make room for all the ‘mon you’ll catch.
- Save up your Pokecoins and purchase at least two Incense for the event.
Moreover, Spotlight Hours are the perfect opportunity to use items like Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces to increase the XP.
Spotlight Hour Spawn Rate & Shiny Rate
The spawn rate is boosted for 60 minutes, which means you will have plenty of opportunities to catch each species. It means the spawn rate of each Shiny variation is increased as well.
Niantic has introduced new Pokedex classifications to display your Shiny, Lucky, Event, and more Pokemon variants.
