These Are All The February 2022 Spotlight Hours In Pokémon GO

February 2022 is going to be one to remember for Pokémon GO players. So far, we have covered February 2022's Tier Five raids (including the whopping slate of Regirock, Registeel, all four Formes of Deoxys with Shiny releases, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou), Mega Raids (both Mega Ampharos and Mega Houndoom return), and arguably the best Field Research Breakthrough since Legendaries left featuring the Shiny release of Espurr. In addition to all of that, Niantic has announced the Spotlight Hours for the month of February in Pokémon GO. Let's take a look at what species will be the focus on this weekly event and what each of the special bonuses will be.
