Spheal Spotlight Hour (July 2024): Last Minute Guide

Pokémon Spotlight Hour will feature a different Pokémon and special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday during the month of July. Spheal Spotlight Hour takes place on July 9th, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with 2× Catch Candy bonus.

This Spotlight Hour is the second July 2024 Pokémon spotlight, and it is especially interesting as Spheal can be shiny and you will get 2x Candy on catch! In other words, this is a great time to farm those Spheal candies! This spotlight hour marks the end of the Aquatic Paradise event in Pokémon GO.

Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per Spheal caught. Here’s everything you need to know!

Bonuses

  • Candy icon You will get 2x Candy for catching Pokémon
  • Shiny icon Shiny Spheal and its evolutions are available in Pokémon GO

Note on Catch Bonus

If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Catch Candy bonus by catching any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! You can stock up field research or leave any special or timed research encounters until Spotlight Hour to make use of this bonus. If you aren’t interested in Spheal candy, you could even use this bonus to get extra candy from catching raid bosses!

Mega Pokémon that boost Spheal

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Spheal 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.

Is it worth evolving Spheal?

I recommend checking out these articles: Under The Lights: Community Day Walrein, A PvP Analysis on Community Day Walrein (again!). Here’s a short extract:

  • In Great League, Walrein becomes an immediately viable alternative to Lapras… in any formats where Lapras is potent, which admittedly is moreso in limited/Cup formats than Open GL. Walrein is still not quite on the same level as Dewgong (which just grinds things down like precious few other Pokémon in the game can), but in any format where you want a solid Ice type, Walrein is now exactly that, especially if Icicle Spear costs only 40 or — dare we dream? — only 35 energy. Its biggest advantage — even to Dewgong — is Earthquake for its ability to overcome Steels like Galarian Stunfisk, Melmetal, and even the mighty Bastiodon.
  • In Ultra League, Lapras is basically it as far as Watery Ice types. (And really only Aboma, A-Tails, or sometimes the odd Articuno may pop up here and there among all Ice types.) Walrein once again arrives as a very viable alternative to Lapras, and indeed pulls away even more than it did in Great League, owing to good spam potential and that unique Earthquake (which beats stuff like G-Fisk again, Bronzong, and Jellicent). Walrein should immediately become meta in the various Ultra League formats, and requires no XL Candy (even with #1 IVs), which is always nice.
  • The biggest shocker is that Walrein, which fails to reach even 2700 CP at Level 40 and only barely crosses 3000 CP at Level 50, looks to be legit in Master League after Community. If Icicle Spear indeed costs only 35 energy (giving it pre-nerf Weather Ball stats), as many hope for, it becomes as good, if not situationally better, than Avalugg and way better overall than Mamoswine. Especially in the case of Spear costing only 35 energy, Walrein will instantly find itself right in the thick of the Master League Classic, Premier, and even Open metas as a true contender. That’s no exaggeration or vain hope either… post-Community Day Walrein WILL noticabely impact Master League moving forward. Mark my words on that one.
