Pokémon Spotlight Hours and Mystery Bonus Hours continue in April with 4 mini events, taking place every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. local time. In April, each event will feature both a special Pokémon and a different in-game bonus for participating, essentially combining both events into one.
The following Pokémon Spotlight Hours and Mystery Bonus Hours are happening in April:
| Date | Pokémon | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| April 7 |
Purrloin
|
2x Catch XP |
| April 14 |
Magnemite
|
2x Catch Candy |
| April 21 |
Wobbuffet
|
2x Transfer Candy |
| April 28 |
Pidgey
|
2x Evolution XP |
Magnemite Spotlight Hour overlaps with the Pokémon GO Spring Celebration Event 2020, which runs from April 9 through April 16. Pokémon GO’s Spring Celebration features double hatch Candy and increased duration of Lucky Eggs, which makes this a great opportunity to take a walk, catch some Magnemite and get a metric ton of Candy from catches and hatches. Go on a walk only if your country or state is not limiting movement due to COVID-19 safety measures.
With the exception of Magnemite, April’s featured Pokémon don’t include any meta relevant Pokémon, both for PvP and PvE. Magneton and Magnezone are somewhat useful in Trainer Battles and quite useful in Raids, so these are worth farming and evolving.
