Ferroseed Spotlight Hour takes place on October 7th, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with a bonus of 2x XP for evolving Pokémon. This Spotlight Hour is the second October 2025 Pokémon spotlight. It’s a great time to evolve any trash Pokémon in your storage before you transfer them.
Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per Ferroseed caught. Here’s everything you need to know!
You will get 2x XP for Evolving Pokémon
Shiny Ferroseed and its evolution are available in Pokémon GO
Note on XP Bonus
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon or do not have enough Ferroseed candy saved, you can make use of the 2x Evolution XP bonus by evolving any saved Pokémon, or opening a Mystery Box (or Coin Bag) and evolving those!

No gender difference to look out for with this one.
The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Ferroseed if they are Mega/Primal evolved. While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it. It’s very bulky but lacks the offensive power to create any form of impact 🥴. ⚔️ Raids – Leave it on the bench. Let it hang out on walls. But don’t bring it to Raids 🚧. 🛡️ Gyms – Its impressive bulk comes to play here and makes Ferrothorn a good Gym defender. That said, remember that it’s double weak to Fire-type attacks. Ferrothorn is a good PvP Pokémon thanks to its high bulk complementing its 10 resistances 🙂. That’s not all, as it also has a good moveset to boot, making it a terrifying threat 😈. 🔵 Great League – Ferrothorn is a crazy strong Great League Pokémon that takes advantage of the high energy gains from Bullet Seed to punish opponents with Power Whip. As a second Charged Move, you’re spoilt for choice with options like the hard-hitting Thunder, the unpredictable Flash Cannon, or the opponent DEF debuffing Acid Spray 🎨. Overall, you’re going to have a great time using Ferrothorn in battle! 🙌 🟡 Ultra League – While still good in the Ultra League, it loses some shine due to the presence of more Fire and Fighting types in this format. 🟣 Master League – It looks like a Grass-type cosplay of Metagross, but unlike the Pseudo Legendary, Ferrothorn is plain bad in the Master League 🥲.
