Pokemon GOSpotlight Hourshappen every week in Niantic’s mobile game, letting players find and catch one type of Pokemon (or sometimes more than one) way more easily. For example, the first Spotlight Hour event for July 2025 happens on the first day of the month, and players will encounter a Party Hat Pikachu more often.
And every Spotlight Hour event inPokemon GOhas featured bonuses to give you even more goodies. Like that Pikachu hour we mentioned, you’ll earn double the amount of Stardust for each electric mouse caught. Also worth pointing out that each Spotlight Hour happens onTuesday at 6 PM local time. And, as the event name suggests, theincreased spawns only last sixty minutes.
In thisPokemon GOSpotlight Hour guide for July 2025, we’ll show you the featured Pokemon, the event bonuses, evolution info, and answers on whether the Pokemon have shiny variants.
