Tonight Is Doduo Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: Hidden Gems

Tonight is Doduo Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO and this Shiny-capable Kanto bird will be featured with increased frequency in the wild.


Tonight is Sunkern Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, June 26th, 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 fourth and final Spotlight Hour of June 2023 in Pokémon GO, but we have a full breakdown of the Spotlights coming next month. First, though, let's get into the details for tonight.

Can Doduo be Shiny? Yes, indeed it can. Doduo is much rarer now than it used to be, as many species have been released since the initial Kanto drop. Doduo is brown in its normal form and lime green in its Shiny form, making this particular Shiny quite easy to spot.

Tonight's Spotlight Hour bonus is double XP for evolving Pokémon. In order to take advantage of this bonus, drop two Lucky Eggs at the start of the hour so that you can pull in extra XP for the entire length of the buff during Spotlight Hour.

Now, we look ahead at what's to come.
