All spotlight hours in October 2022 at Pokémon GO at a glance. We’ll show you all the Pokémon, bonuses and times and explain which shinys you can find and whether the events are worthwhile.

What are spotlight hours? Every Tuesday night from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., there is a Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. During this time, a Pokémon is the focus and will spawn almost anywhere in the wild. At the beginning of the month, the developers announce which Pokémon will be the focus of the events in the coming weeks.

These events typically come with bonuses that translate to more Stardust, more XP, or more Candy. Here we show you in an overview which Pokémon were selected with which bonuses at the spotlight hours in October 2022.

Spotlight Hour on October 4th Which Pokemon?

In the first limelight hour in October 2022 you will meet Felilou. The Pokémon belongs to the Dark type and comes from the fifth generation of the game. Its evolution is Kleopardda.

Pokémon GO Spotlight Felilou Title What bonuses do you get?

For evolving Pokémon, you get double the amount of XP. Who is it worth it for?

Neither in PvP (in trainer battles) nor in PvE (in raids) are Felilou or Kleoparda interesting. For cat lovers, the spotlight hour can be worthwhile. But not if you are looking for strong attackers. Can you catch Shiny Felilou?

No, Felilou is not yet available as Shiny in Pokémon GO.

Spotlight Hour on October 11th Which Pokemon?

The second Spotlight Hour in October 2022 brings you many Alpollo spawns. The Pokémon is the evolution of Nebulak and comes from the 1st generation of the game. Alpollo belongs to the Ghost and Poison types and can evolve into Gengar.

Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour Alpollo Title What bonuses do you get?

You get double Stardust for catching Pokémon. Who is it worth it for?

Spotlight hour should be well worth it for most of you. Because Alpollo’s development Gengar is really strong and should not be missing in any collection. You also have a good chance of getting lots of XL sweets. We explained in an article why the spotlight hour in October with Alpollo is so good. Can you catch Shiny Alpollo?

no Shiny Alpollo is already in the game, but you can't catch Evolved Pokémon as Shiny in Spotlight Hour. However, those who secure a Dazzling Nebulak can evolve it into Shiny Alpollo and Shiny Gengar.

Spotlight Hour on October 18th Which Pokemon?

The third spotlight hour in October 2022 brings you Traunfugil from the second generation of the game. It belongs to the ghost type and can evolve into Traunmagil.

Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour Tranfugil Shiny Title What bonuses do you get?

You get twice the amount of experience points for catching Pokémon. Who is it worth it for?

Neither Traunfugil nor its evolution, Traunmagil, are particularly important in trainer battles or raids. Use the event primarily to collect experience points. Those who are still on the way from 41 to 50 can collect well here. Can you catch Shiny Traunfugil?

Yes, you can catch the dazzling version of Traunfugil in Pokémon GO.

Spotlight Hour on October 25th Which Pokemon?

In the last spotlight hour of October, Shupett is the focus. It belongs to the ghost type, comes from the third generation of the game and can evolve into Banette.

Pokémon GO Spotlight Shuppet title What bonuses do you get?

For evolving Pokémon, you get double the amount of experience points. Niantic also speaks of another bonus. “Take your buddy to experience something special at the beginning and end of this spotlight hour.” What exactly that means is unclear. Who is it worth it for?

Shuppet is not particularly strong as an attacker. In the super league, Banette plays at least in the lower midfield in trainer battles and is also more in the middle in raids. Still, the event might be worth it because of the surprise Niantic is planning for the beginning and end of the event. Can you catch Shiny Shuppet?

Yes, you can catch Shiny Shuppet in Pokémon GO.
