The Spotlight Hour event in Pokemon GO allows trainers worldwide to encounter a specific Pocket Monster, usually sporting a low catch rate and appearing more frequently in the wild. March 2023 has already seen Eevee appear in the limelight, and the upcoming Spotlight Hour is set to feature Rowlet.
The developers at Niantic have been consistently providing Pokemon GO players with regular updates of new content to sustain the hype and excitement surrounding their AR title. The Festival of Colors 2023 was the latest event to begin in-game, featuring the debuts of Mega Medicham and Bruxish.
This article has all the available information for the upcoming Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO.
Rowlet to be featured in Pokemon GO Spotlight Hour on March 14: Event bonuses and how to prepare
The upcoming iteration of the Spotlight Hour is slated to be held on Tuesday, March 14, 2023. It will run for an hour from 6:00 pm local time to 7:00 pm local time. Trainers around the world will be able to participate in the event and encounter Rowlet with an increased spawn rate in the wild.
Introduced in Generation VII, Rowlet is a dual-type Pokemon sporting a type combination of Grass and Flying. Also known as the Grass Quill Pokemon, it is one of the three starter Pocket Monsters of Alola and Hisui. It can be evolved into Dartrix with the help of 25 Rowlet Candy. Dartrix can then further be evolved into Decidueye with 100 Rowlet Candy.
Given that the Spotlight Hour event will feature an increased spawn frequency for the Pocket Monster, players will have ample opportunity to gather the required amount of Rowlet Candy for both evolutions.
Pokemon GO players are advised to evolve the Rowlet with the best IVs and stats that they have in their party to get a formidable Decidueye. Disappointingly for trainers, the upcoming Spotlight Hour will not feature the shiny variant of Rowlet. The event will provide players with 2x Evolve XP for the aforementioned hour.
Trainers should make sure that they have an adequate number of Poke Balls and space in their Pokemon Storage Box so that they can catch as many Rowlets as they want during the event. They should also make use of other in-game items like Lucky Eggs, Incense, and Star Pieces to amplify their gains during the event.
