Tonight Is Alolan Sandshrew Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: January 2023

Tonight is Alolan Sandshrew Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, January 3rd, this Ice/Steel-type Pokémon will appear with increased frequency in the wild. It will also be responding more frequently to Incense and will even pop up in spawn points that are not normally active. You will need to get out there and walk in order to activate that Incense buff, though. This is the first of five Spotlight Hours of January 2023 in Pokémon GO. Keep reading for a full breakdown of the upcoming Spotlight Hours for this month but first, let's get into the details of tonight's offering and bonus.

Now… this one is such a weird choice. Alolan Sandshrew was just widely available with a highly boosted Shiny rate for December 2022 recap Community Day so I couldn't imagine many Trainers are looking for this. However, there is a solid way to spend the hour, even for those who aren't in need of a Shiny Alolan Sandshrew.

Tonight's Spotlight Hour bonus is double XP for evolving Pokémon. Instead of hunting, pop on a Lucky Egg and mass evolve your spare catches.

• January 10th, 2023: Swirlix with double Stardust for catching
