Tonight Is Binacle Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: Hidden Gems
Tonight is Binacle Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. Here is everything you need to know about this event including if it can be Shiny.
Tonight is Binacle Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, June 13th, this Pokémon will appear throughout the hour 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 second of four Spotlight Hours of June 2023 in Pokémon GO, so we will cover what's to come next month at the end of this piece. First, though, let's get into the details for tonight.
Binacle can be Shiny in Pokémon GO, so Shiny hunters will want to get out there. This species has been available to encounter in its Shiny form since the Water Festival 2022, but I find it to be a rare feature, making tonight's Spotlight Hour well worth playing. In its standard form, Binacle has off-white hair (?), brown faces, and orange stalks, as seen above. The Shiny form sees the hair (???) turn green, the faces go a dark brownish-green, and the stalks turn a reddish-salmon color.
Tonight's bonus is double Candy for catching, so no Items are needed to help you buff this bonus.
