Players can earn extra experience points for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on January 23, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Barboach will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of experience points when evolving Pokemon.
Barboach is a Water- and Ground-type Pokemon from the third generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Barboach into Whiscash using 50 Barboach Candy.
Shiny Barboach is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Barboach is yellow and white, rather than blue and white.
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 Barboach to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
You can also activate a Lucky Egg to double the number of experience points you receive when completing in-game actions for a limited time. This Lucky Egg bonus will stack with the Spotlight Hour bonus, allowing you to earn lots of experience points for each Pokemon you evolve during this event.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, one more of these events is scheduled to take place in January 2024. During the Spotlight Hour event on January 30, 2024, Foongus will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal amount of Stardust when catching Pokemon.
