Players can earn extra experience points for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on October 24, 2023 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Phantump will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of experience points when catching Pokemon.
Phantump is a Ghost- and Grass-type Pokemon from the sixth generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Phantump into Trevenant using 200 Phantump Candy. Phantump can also be evolved into Trevenant without using Pokemon Candy if Phantump has previously been traded.
Shiny Phantump is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Phantump is black and white, rather than black and brown.
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 Phantump 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 capture during this event.
Following this week’s Spotlight Hour event, one more of these events is scheduled to take place in October 2023. During the Spotlight Hour event on October 31, 2023, Yamask will appear more frequently than normal in the wild and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon.
