Pokemon Go July 18, 2023 Spotlight Hour: Everything You Need to Know

Monday, July 17th, 2023 12:00 pm

Players can collect extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.

The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on July 18, 2023 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

During this event, Rhyhorn will appear more frequently than normal in the wild, and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.

Rhyhorn is a Ground- and Rock-type Pokemon from the first generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Rhyhorn into Rhydon using 25 Rhyhorn Candy, and then evolve Rhydon into Rhyperior using 100 Rhyhorn Candy and a Sinnoh Stone.

Shiny Rhyhorn is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Rhyhorn is a pale orange color, rather than gray.

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 Rhyhorn to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.

Also remember that you can 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 collect 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 July 2023. During the Spotlight Hour event on July 25, 2023, Yungoos will appear more frequently than normal in the wild, and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when transferring Pokemon.
