Pokemon Go Slowpoke Spotlight Hour date & time

You can play the Pokemon Go Slowpoke Spotlight Hour event on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time.

For this entire hour, you will find Slowpoke spawning everywhere around you.

Can Slowpoke be shiny in Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour?

Yes, shiny Slowpoke is available in Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour.

While shiny species are extremely rare in Pokemon Go, Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity for shiny hunting as there are countless spawns during the event.

That said, the shiny rate in this event is not boosted like Community Hour so, the odds of finding a shiny Slowpoke in its Spotlight Hour is still 1 in 500 or 0.2% chance.

Pokemon Go Slowpoke Spotlight Hour bonus

You can enjoy a bonus of 2x Candy for transferring any Pokemon during the Pokemon Go Slowpoke Spotlight Hour.

Pokemon Go Slowpoke evolution

You can evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro with 50 Candy or into Slowking with 50 Candy and a King’s Rock in Pokemon Go.

King’s Rock is an evolution item in the game that helps you get Pokemon such as Slowking and Politoed, and it can be obtained by spinning PokeStops and Gyms.

While items like the King’s Rock aren’t guaranteed from each spin, you can increase your chances of getting one by spinning multiple PokeStops and Gyms.
