Pokémon Spotlight Hour will feature a different Pokémon and a special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday during the month of July. Togedemaru Spotlight Hour takes place on July 30th, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with a bonus of 2x Stardust for catching Pokémon!
This Spotlight Hour is the final July 2024 Pokémon spotlight, and it is especially interesting as Togedemaru can be shiny as its shiny form debuts during the Strength of Steel event!
Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per Pokémon caught. Here’s everything you need to know!

Shiny Togedemaru is available in Pokémon GO
Note on Stardust Bonus
Togedemaru is unfortunately NOT of the rare Pokémon that give extra Stardust on catch, so there is a base rate of 100 Stardust per catch which increases with weather-boost and a Star Piece.
Here’s how much Stardust you can get during Togedemaru Spotlight Hour in July 2024, thanks to the 2x Stardust bonus:
| Type of catch | Stardust |
|---|---|
| Regular catch | 200 |
| Weather boosted catch | 250 |
| Regular catch with Star Piece | 300 |
| Weather boosted catch with Star Piece | 375 |
The best possible scenario you can have is to catch a weather boosted ‘mon with an active Star Piece. As Togedemaru is a dual ElectricSteel-type they are boosted by Rainy and Snow.
To maximise Stardust caught you’ll likely want to use Great Balls to ensure the catch and use a quick catch technique. Otherwise, you could be spending too much time attempting to catch, rather than just catching.
We believe that the baseline for calculating potential Stardust during this hour should be 60 ‘mon. You should be able to get 60 Pokémon during one hour, regardless of if you are using the Fast catch trick, or just catching slowly.
Here’s how much Stardust you should be able to earn during the Spotlight Hour:
| Star Piece active | Weather is Rainy or Snow | Stardust |
|---|---|---|
| ❌ No | ❌ No | 12,000 |
| ❌ No | ✅ Yes | 15,000 |
| ✅ Yes | ❌ No | 18,000 |
| ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | 22,500 |
- 12,000 Stardust is your minimal Stardust goal. This means you caught 60 Pokémon, but there was no weather boost and you did not activate a Star Piece.
- 15,000 Stardust is your minimal goal if the in-game weather is Rainy.
- 18,000 Stardust is the minimal amount you are looking for with a Star Piece activated. This should be easy to get if you activate two Star Pieces, regardless of in-game Weather. Star Piece increases your Stardust gain by 50%, which is an additional 3,000 Stardust over the baseline.
- and finally… 22,500 Stardust is the amount of Stardust you will get if you catch 60 Pokémon, with a Star Piece active, during Rainy or Snow.
The only downside of this event is that Togedemaru is relatively difficult to catch, and you will probably want to use Great Balls or Ultra Balls during the event. Otherwise, you could be spending too much time attempting to catch, rather than just catching.
Togedemaru
Togedemaru is a Electric and Steel-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, with a maximum Combat Power of 2442 CP. Togedemaru best moveset in Pokémon GO is Thunder Shock and Wild Charge.

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Togedemaru if they are Mega/Primal evolved:
A Note on Mega Catch Bonus
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.
