These are the Spotlight Hours and bonuses coming to Pokémon GO in November 2023:

Tuesday, November 7th, 2023: Chinchou with double transfer Candy
Tuesday, November 14th, 2023: Buneary with double XP for evolving
Tuesday, November 21st, 2023: Dunsparce with double Stardust for catching, can be Shiny
Tuesday, November 28th, 2023: Lechonk with double XP for catching, can be Shiny

Notably, all four of these Spotlight Hours feature Pokémon that can be Shiny. There is some theorizing currently among players that the feature of Dunsparce could hint at the arrival of its Paldean evolution Dudunsparce, since we are now in the full swing of the Paldea generation reveal.

Lechonk has been a common spawn since its introduction in September, but I personally haven't been able to get a Shiny so I welcome that Spotlight Hour.

Also, keep in mind that October is not yet done. Tomorrow is Yamask Spotlight Hour, which will close out October's Spotlights.

Here are the events coming to Pokémon GO in November 2023:

November 1st – November 2nd, 2023: Dia De Muertos Event
November 5th, 2023: Wooper Community Day
November 7th – November 12th, 2023: Festival of Lights
November 11th, 2023: Mega Garchomp Raid Day
November 15th – November 17th, 2023: Fashion Week
November 22nd – November 27th, 2023: Form a Group
November 25th, 2023: Mareep Community Day Classic

So far, we have full details for a few of these events. The Dia De Muertos event will feature a cempasúchil crown Cubone and bring back cempasúchil crown Duskull. Wooper Community Day will introduce Paldean Wooper, featuring boosted Shiny rates for both the standard and Paldean version in the wild. The Festival of Lights will add new Paldean species Tadbulb to the game and will introduce Shiny Morelull into Pokémon GO for the first time. We are now waiting for details to be announced regarding the rest of these events.
