Pokemon GO brings the Ice-type Pokemon Vanillite as a Spotlight Hour event feature. The mini-event runs for an hour and increases Vanillite’s wild spawn rate, making it easier to get numerous encounters. The increased spawn rate poses an excellent opportunity to farm Vanillite Candy, and participants also get a special bonus for the event's duration.
Vanillite has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 1168 and a stat spread comprising 118 ATK, 106 DEF, and 113 STA. Evolving the monster increases the power level even more; players can evolve their Vanillite into a Vanillish and later their Vanillish into a powerful Vanilluxe. Doing so adds more to its PvP and PvE relevance, making Vanillite a valuable asset to anyone's Pokedex. That said, players can use this guide to make the most of the Vanillite Spotlight Hour event.
