Tonight Is Shellder Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: April 2023

Tonight is Shellder Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO and you can hunt for this Shiny Pokémon while also taking advantage of a great bonus.

Tonight is Shellder Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, April 10th, 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 April 2023 in Pokémon GO, so we will cover what is to come in the next few weeks at the end of this piece. First, though, let's get into the details for tonight.

Shiny hunters, look out! Shellder can be Shiny in Pokémon GO, and it's a terrific Shiny. The standard Shellder, pictured above, has a purple shell. Shiny Shellder has an orange shell.

You will want to start preparing for Spotlight Hour well before the hour begins, though, as the bonus is double Candy for transferring Pokémon. The last thing you want to do is miss out on a chance to hunt Shellder, though, so be sure to just queue up your transfers by 6 PM and then, when the clock strikes Spotlight, transfer them and pull in all of that extra Candy.
