Tonight is Stufful Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, August 15th, this Pokémon will appear throughout the hour with increased frequency in the wild. It 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 August 2023 in Pokémon GO, but we have a full breakdown of the Spotlights coming this month, as well as additional info on events leading up to Pokémon GO Fest 2023. First, though, let's get into the details for tonight.

Stufful was previously a Community Day Pokémon, so it can indeed be Shiny. The standard Stufful is pink, and the Shiny is orange. The bonus for tonight's Spotlight Hour is double XP for catching. In order to take advantage of this bonus, be sure to drop two Lucky Eggs at the top of the hour to pull in extra XP.
