Stufful Spotlight Hour (October 2026): Last Minute Guide

Stufful

Stufful Spotlight Hour takes place on October 15th, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with 2× Transfer Candy bonus. Pokémon Spotlight Hour feature a different Pokémon and a special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday during the month of October. 

This Spotlight Hour is the third October 2026 Pokémon spotlight. It is especially interesting as Stufful can be shiny and you will get 2x Candy on transfer – it’s a great time to have a clear out of your Pokémon storage post ahead of the Wild Area!

Note on Transfer Bonus

If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Transfer Candy bonus in other ways: 

• You can try transferring any saved Scatterbug, opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag!
• This is a great opportunity to clear out your storage, transfer Legendary Pokémon you have been clinging onto, and rare Pokémon you need more candy for.

Mega Pokémon that boost Stufful and its Evolutions

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Stufful 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 Stufful?

PVE

The Normal/Fighting-type Bewear is listed as one of the most dangerous species in the Pokémon world, but sadly, that doesn’t translate well in Pokémon GO. 😬

It has decent stats, but its moveset isn’t good enough to make it stand out in the meta. 🥲

⚔️ Raids

As a Normal-type, PvE isn’t ideal, and as a Fighting-type, it’s severely outclassed by many better Pokémon. Stick to stronger hard-hitters. 👊

🛡️ Gyms

A Fighting-type Pokémon that’s weak to Fighting-type moves. 😐 And while Bewear has good HP, its DEF is quite low. Overall, not a good Gym defender. 😭

💎 Bewear’s best moveset in PvE

Low Kick and Superpower

PVP

🔵 Great League

Shadow Bewear finally lives up to its dangerous reputation in the Great League, punishing a majority of the meta with its excellent coverage. Its list of wins are quite varied, including Alolan Ninetales, Swampert, Annihilape, Malamar, Corviknight, Shadow Drapion, Galarian Corsola, Talonflame, regular and Shadow Sableye, and many Water types in general. So, Shadow Bewear does pack a punch, and with its Normal typing, you can easily accommodate it in most teams as long as you account for a Fighting Pokémon.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Bewear is not as strong in the Ultra League but still a threat. It continues to dominate Water types and has an edge over many Pokémon thanks to its access to Superpower.

Other than Drifblim, Shadow Bewear struggles against other Ghost types, one of the most prominent Pokémon in this format.

🟣 Master League

Unfortunately, the Master League is a humbling experience for Shadow Bewear, and it gets defeated quite easily by most Pokémon in this meta.
