Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour Minun

The upcoming Spotlight Hour for Minun will take place on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, from 6-7 p.m. During this time, Minun’s drop rate will increase greatly, so it is a great time to get out and catch one.

Since the window of time to catch a Minun is so short (it is a Spotlight Hour after all), you’re definitely going to want to be prepared. Make sure you have enough Poke Balls and that your Pokemon Storage Box is cleared out to make way for all of the Pokemon you’ll catch.

Plus, if you’re looking to use this Spotlight Hour to gain some XP, then using Lucky Eggs or Star Pieces isn’t a bad idea. During the event, players will also get Double Transfer Candy, so keep that in mind.

Is Minun Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Shiny variants of Minun do currently exist in Pokemon Go and will have an increased drop rate within the Spotlight Hour. So whether you are a Shiny collector or are just looking for the best Minun to catch, be sure to utilize this Spotlight Hour to snag a Shiny Minun.

That is everything you need to know to gear up for the Minun Spotlight Hour coming up next Tuesday. Be prepared and have some fun!

Power Plant Event Details and Helioptile

In other news, if you’re interested in the ongoing Power Plant event being held until February 1, you have a lot of juicy news to dive into. Of course, the newest Pokemon, Helioptile, was revealed in this event, and catching one will be easiest now while the event is hot.

While Helioptile might be the star of the show, now is a great time to catch some other Shiny Pokemon as well. Several Electric-type Pokemon will have increased spawn rates in the wild.

(An asterisk denotes that a Pokemon can be shiny.)

  • Magnemite*
  • Grimer*
  • Voltorb*
  • Electabuzz*
  • Porygon*
  • Trubbish*
  • Helioptile

Whether you’re excited for the Minun Spotlight Hour or want to catch a Shiny Electrabuzz as part of the Power Plant event, get out there and catch something new!
