October is approaching soon in real life and in Pokemon GO. With it, a lot of new events and Pokemon will be appearing as the leaves begin to fall and Halloween gets closer.
One of the things that trainers in Pokemon GO have to look forward to is the upcoming spotlight hour events. These mini-events only last for an hour as the name implies with the spawn rates of one certain species of Pokemon increasing by this hour along with other benefits.
The October spotlight hours will occur every Tuesday throughout the month at 6:00 pm in players’ local times. There are no special tasks involved with these events, so players only need to focus on catching Pokemon to benefit from the event.
The subjects and dates of the upcoming spotlight hour events in October are:
- October 6th, 2020 – World Cap Pikachu
- October 13th, 2020 – Original Cap Pikachu
- October 20th, 2020 – Shuppet
- October 27th, 2020 – Duskull
In addition to these Pokemon having higher spawn rates during the event, there are also other benefits. During the World Cap Pikachu spotlight hour event on the 6th, players will receive twice as much XP for catching Pokemon. On the 13th with Original Cap Pikachu, players will earn twice as much candy for catching Pokemon. With Shuppet on the 20th, players will earn twice the amount of candy for transferring Pokemon. Finally, on the 27th with Duskull, players will earn twice the amount of XP for evolving Pokemon.
Shuppet is a ghost-type Pokemon that can evolve into Banette. Banette is also a pure ghost-type Pokemon with the max CP of 2298. Its best possible moveset is Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. This Pokemon additionally can mega evolve in the base Pokemon games and may get its mega evolution sometime soon in Pokemon GO.
Duskull is another pure ghost-type Pokemon that evolves into Dusclops. After evolving, Dusclops can evolve into Dusknoir with all members of the Duskull family being pure ghost-types. Dusknoir has the max CP of 2388 and is resistant to fighting, normal, bug, and poison-type Pokemon. Its best possible moveset is Hex and Psychic.
For the cap Pikachus, both of them will keep their accessories upon evolving into Raichu. With there being two different Pikachu spotlight hour events in October, they will both provide a lot of opportunities to build up Pikachu candies to evolve and power up their Pokemon. Once again, these events will last only for an hour starting a 6:00 pm in players’ local times, so trainers should prepare beforehand.
Pokemon GO is available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
