Players can collect extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on August 22, 2023 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Venonat will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.
Venonat is a Bug- and Poison-type Pokemon from the first generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Venonat into Venomoth using 50 Venonat Candy.
Shiny Venonat is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Venonat has blue eyes, rather than red eyes.
To make the most of this week’s Spotlight Hour event, remember that you can activate an Incense to attract wild Pokemon to your location for a limited time. This will give you more Venonat to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
You can also toss Pinap Berries at Pokemon to double the number of Pokemon Candy you receive when you capture them. This Pinap Berry bonus will stack with the Spotlight Hour bonus, allowing you to earn lots of Pokemon Candy for each Pokemon you capture during this event.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, one more of these events is scheduled to take place in August 2023. During the Spotlight Hour event on August 29, 2023, Tentacool will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when transferring Pokemon.
