Pokemon GO: Eevee Spotlight Hour And Bonuses
The Pokemon GO Eevee Spotlight Hour event starts on Tuesday, January 9, at 6 PM and runs for an hour till Tuesday, January 9, at 7 PM Local Time. Players can encounter numerous wild Eevee during an hour between 6 PM and 7 PM. The developers at Niantic also offer a Special Bonus of 2× Catch Candy for the event participants.
Eevee's increased wild spawn rate significantly helps players get a Shiny Eevee. One can encounter multiple Standard Eevee to catch up with its Shiny odds and encounter a Shiny Eevee. Multiple Pokemon GO items can stack with the already boosted wild spawn rate and further increase it.
Pokemon GO: How To Get A Shiny Eevee
Regarding wild Shiny encounters, there is no guaranteed way to make it happen. Instead, Pokemon GO players can try to match the Shiny odds. The more Standard variants spawn, the faster one might catch up to its Shiny odds. The same is true with Shiny Eevee, and featured events that boost Eevee’s spawn rate might help players to do so.
Several Pokemon GO items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost function can boost monster spawn rate in the wild. Using these in-game elements simultaneously can stack their effects and significantly increase the wild spawn rate.
Eevee experiences Weather Boost in areas with partly cloudy weather. Players should first locate a Pokemon GO Gym or PokeStop with such weather conditions, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy can significantly increase Eevee spawn rate, especially during events that feature the monster and might help players catch up to its Shiny odds.
One must note that even if Pokemon GO trainers encounter multiple Eevee in the wild, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. While lucky players might get a Shiny Eevee, others might not.
