Tonight Is Snorunt Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: Timeless Travels

Will Pokémon GO players choose to hunt for Shiny Snorunt or get double XP for evolving during tonight's Snorunt Spotlight Hour?



Article Summary

  • Snorunt Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO: hunt Shinies and get double XP for evolving.
  • Increased Snorunt spawns and interactions during the Winter Holiday Event kickoff.
  • Upcoming December events: Vanillite Spotlight, Tier Five raids, and Winter Holidays.
  • Shiny potential for Spotlight, raid bosses, and Research Breakthrough rewards.

Tonight is Snorunt Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, December 19th, this wintry Pokémon will appear throughout the hour with increased frequency in the wild. This may be an especially fun Spotlight Hour, as it will be active during the first day of the Winter Holiday Event, which kicks off earlier today in Pokémon GO. During Snorunt Spotlight Hour, this Ice-type fan-favorite 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 third Spotlight Hour of December 2023 in Pokémon GO, continuing the current Season entitled Timeless Travels. After we get into the details about tonight's Snorunt Spotlight Hour, we will break down the Spotlights and events to come during December 2023 in Pokémon GO.

Snorunt can be encountered in its Shiny form, and it is one of the coolest Shinies in the game. The standard Snorunt pictured above has a tan body and blue eyes. Shiny Snorunt has an icy blue body and red eyes. If you are trying to complete the Snorunt family, be sure to catch extra Shinies due to the split evolution. A female Snorunt can become either a Glalie or a Froslass, depending on your choice. A male Snorunt can only become a Glalie.

Tonight's Spotlight Hour bonus is double XP for evolving, which unfortunately can't be taken advantage of while actively playing. If you choose to mass evolve instead of Shiny hunting Snorunt, be sure to drop Lucky Eggs for the entire time you will be evolving.
