During each day's Spotlight Hour, a certain Pokémon will spawn more frequently. There will also be a bonus for each hour as well.
- May 5: Shellder, double catch Stardust
- May 12: Sunkern, double catch XP
- May 19 Poochyena, double catch candy
- May 26: Bronzor, double transfer candy
If you're lucky, you might find Shiny versions of all the Pokémon here, though the Shiny encounter rate will not see any notable improvements for the hour.
Notable here is Bronzor, who evolves into the formidable Bronzong. Don't miss out on the opportunity to get the powerful Steel/Psychic tank for your team.
