The last Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go for October 2023 will feature a spirit Pokemon, and fans are quite eager to learn more about what the event has to offer.
This week’s Spotlight Hour will kick off at 6 pm local time and will end at 7 pm local time. During the event, players will see Yamask more often in the wild. It should be noted that only Yamask will appear more often; if you need Cofagrigus, you will need to collect enough candies to evolve Yamask to Cofagrigus. Players can evolve Yamask to Cofagrigus for 50 Candies. Apart from the increased spawn rate, there are some bonuses available for grabs as well. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
Can Yamask Be Shiny In Pokemon Go?
Yes! Shiny Yamask is present in Pokemon Go, which means that its evolution, Cofagrigus, also has a shiny variant present in the game as well. The shiny variant of Yamask has a deep blue tone instead of the regular gray, while Cofagrigus undergoes some significant changes with a new blue, gray, and pink palette. The color of the eyes changes as well, but apart from that, the rest of the physical characteristics stay the same.
When it comes to the shiny rates for the event, those remain the same, so your chances of coming across one of these unique blue variants are quite slim, to say the least. With the increased spawn rate, you still have a better chance than a regular day to catch a shiny, and your best bet is to play for the entirety of the event. You can also use items like Incense to lure more Yamask to your location, thus increasing your chance to spot that coveted shiny.
Yamask Spotlight Hour Bonuses
For this week, players will be earning double Candy for catching Pokemon. This bonus applies to all Pokemon and not just Yamask, so you should be focusing on catching as many Pokemon as you can during the event. Candies are crucial for evolving Pokemon, so if there are some Pokemon you are looking to evolve, this is the best time to collect some candies for them.
