Pokemon GO: Spotlight Hour Today with Watt Tap and Candy Bonus

Spotlight Hour starts today, August 16th, in Pokémon GO with Wattzapper. We’ll show you what bonuses there are and whether you can catch Wattzapf as Shiny. So you are well prepared for the event.

What is this event? Spotlight Hours are events that recur at the same time every week in Pokémon GO. Each Tuesday night, a Pokémon is featured for an hour and appears more frequently in the wild. There is also a bonus that should make participation even more palatable.

Today you will meet Wattzapf at the event. A Generation 5 Bug/Electric-type Pokémon that can evolve into Voltula.

Spotlight Hour on August 16th – Launch, Bonuses, Shiny

When does spotlight hour start? As you know from these events, the starting shot is at 6:00 p.m. German time. An hour later, at 7:00 p.m., the event is over again.

What bonuses are there? It’s typical of Limelight hours that the focus Pokémon appears almost everywhere in the wild. So if you’re out and about, Wattzapf will run into you everywhere. If you ignite smoke, you get even more encounters with the little electric beetle.

In addition, you get double the amount of candies for catching Pokémon. Note that this bonus affects all catches. If you catch a Legendary Pokemon during Spotlight Hour, you’ll get double the Candy for that, too.

Is there Shiny Wattzapf? No, so far you cannot catch Shiny Wattzapf in Pokémon GO.

For whom is the limelight hour with Wattzapf worthwhile?

You need to know: Anyone who likes PvP against other trainers could definitely benefit from today’s spotlight hour. Because Wattzapf’s further development Voltula is a strong choice in the super league and hyper league. It is almost at the top of the best attackers.

In addition, the candy bonus can be very strong in combination with raids and also Wattzapf. Unfortunately, there isn’t much motivation for the shiny hunters today.
