Niantic has revealed its August 2024 Pokémon Go Schedule and four Pokémon will be receiving the Spotlight Hour treatment this month.

Spotlight Hours are popular weekly mini-events that last an hour every Tuesday evening. They spawn one specific Pokémon in droves, making it easy for players to catch, evolve, and hopefully get a Shiny version of it during the event’s duration.

Each weekly event also has unique bonuses—such as increases in XP, Candy, or Stardust—depending on which Pokémon you face.

DrillburAug. 62x Catch XPYes
LileepAug. 132x Catch CandyYes
MankeyAug. 202x Transfer CandyYes
MagnemiteAug. 272x Evolution XPYes

Spotlight Hours take place from 6pm to 7pm local time on the above-listed days. Spotlight Hours always happen on Tuesdays without fail. Every Pokémon this month can be Shiny, but the chances aren’t boosted, so you’ll be lucky to find one.

Those attending the Pokémon World Championships in Hawaii have Lileep and Mankey to look forward to after the festivities, depending on when they land. Mankey is arguably also the best Pokémon to get a Spotlight this week, as Annilhape is one of the best Pokémon to get for competitive play.
