Tonight is Castform Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, January 2nd, this weather-themed Pokémon will appear throughout the hour with increased frequency in the wild. This will be active during the second day of the New Year's 2024 Event. During Castform Spotlight Hour, this Pokémon will also respond more frequently to Incense and 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 Spotlight Hour of January 2024 in Pokémon GO, continuing the current Season entitled Timeless Travels. After we get into the details about tonight's Castform Spotlight Hour, we will break down the Spotlights and events coming to the game next month.
Castform can now be Shiny in all of its weather-based forms in Pokémon GO. You can take advantage of this week's special bonus while Shiny hunting, too, because the bonus involves catching. It's double XP for catching, to be exact. You can rake in even more XP by dropping two Lucky Eggs at the top of the hour.
