Pokémon GO Announces October 2023 Spotlight Hours
Pokémon GO announces the full details including Pokémon and bonuses that will be featured in the October 2023 Spotlight Hours.
Niantic has revealed all of the Spotlight Hours for Pokémon GO's Tuesday nights in October 2023. Let's break down what's to come with commentary.
These are the Spotlight Hours and bonuses coming to Pokémon GO in October 2023:
- Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023: Slowpoke with double Candy for transferring
This is a weird one. We aren't that far away from Slowpoke Community Day, which certainly minimized the number of Trainers who would be interested in this Pokémon getting a Spotlight Hour this fast.
- Tuesday, October 10th, 2023: Shroomish with double XP for evolving, can be Shiny
Shroomish has a very cool, autumnal Shiny form. That could be one of the reasons why it is the feature as we move into fall. After this, though, it's full-on Spooky Season.
- Tuesday, October 17th, 2023: Pumpkaboo with double Stardust for catching, can be Shiny
This Spotlight Hour will take place right as the Harvest Festival event ends. That makes me think that the Harvest Festival will feature Pumpkaboo as a major spawn and that this Pumpkaboo Spotlight Hour will essentially be a "well, if you haven't caught the Shiny yet" kind of offering.
- Tuesday, October 24th, 2023: Phantump with double XP for catching, can be Shiny
Phantump notably has no Shiny market next to its name, but one can hope that it'll get its Shiny release during the first part of the Halloween Event and that this will be updated. We shall see!
- Tuesday, October 31st, 2023: Yamask with double Candy for catching, can be Shiny
Yamask is generally on the rarer side, so this Spotlight Hour choice is sure to make many happy.
