Pokémon Spotlight Hour is a recurring event in Pokémon GO that features a different Pokémon and a special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesdays during the month of June. The upcoming Wingull Spotlight Hour is set to take place on June 11th, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with a 2× Transfer Candy bonus.
This Spotlight Hour coincides with the ongoing Slumbering Sands Event and is the second Pokémon spotlight for June 2024. Wingull is a particularly interesting Pokémon to feature as it can be shiny, and with the 2x Candy bonus on transfer, it's an excellent opportunity to clear out your Pokémon storage.
For trainers looking to maximize their candy gains during the event, it is recommended to have a Mega Pokémon ready to use. By utilizing Mega Pokémon, you can increase the candy rewards for each Wingull caught.
During the Wingull Spotlight Hour, trainers can expect the following bonuses:
– 2x Candy for transferring Pokémon
– Shiny Wingull and Pelipper are available in Pokémon GO
If you're not interested in catching Wingull during the event, you can still benefit from the 2x Transfer Candy bonus by transferring other Pokémon in your storage. This is a great opportunity to clear out any unwanted Pokémon, including rare or legendary ones, to earn extra candy for future use.
For those who are shiny hunting during the Spotlight Hour, Shiny Wingull can be easily identified by its green stripes, a deviation from its usual blue coloration.
The evolution of Wingull, Pelipper, is a formidable Pokémon in certain battle formats, such as the Great League and even the Ultra League. With powerful moves like Wing Attack and Hurricane, Pelipper can be a strong contender in PvP battles. This makes evolving Wingull into Pelipper a worthwhile investment, especially if you manage to obtain a high IV Wingull.
In conclusion, the Wingull Spotlight Hour is a valuable opportunity for trainers to stock up on candies, hunt for shiny Pokémon, and prepare for evolving a powerful Pelipper for battle. Be sure to make the most of this event and enjoy the bonuses it offers!
