Tonight is Vulpix Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, August 1st, 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 first Spotlight Hour of August 2023 in Pokémon GO, but we have a full breakdown of the Spotlights coming next 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.

Vulpix can be encountered in its Shiny form in Pokémon GO, and if you don't have one, believe me… you want to get out there and hunt. Vulpix's evolution Ninetails is one of the most beautiful Shinies in the game. The standard Vulpix is pictured above and the Shiny can be identified by a much lighter yellow-orange coat.

Tonight's Spotlight Hour bonus is double XP for evolving Pokémon. This is not a bonus that can be taken advantage of while catching so unless you're already good on Shiny Vulpix and Ninetails, I would suggest waiting to mass evolve for the next time this bonus comes back around.

These are the Spotlight Hours and bonuses coming to Pokémon GO in August 2023:

Tuesday, August 8th, 2023: Paras with double Stardust for catching, can be Shiny
Tuesday, August 15th, 2023: Stufful with double XP for catching, can be Shiny
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023: Venonat with double Candy for catching, can be Shiny
Tuesday, August 29th, 2023: Tentacool with double Candy for transferring, can be Shiny
