Bunnelby Spotlight hour in Pokemon Go for April

Bunnelby spotlight hour will be following on from the Stunky spotlight hour, as the second of regular events for April in Pokemon Go. The spotlight event will start at 6:00 PM local time on April 12th, ending an hour later, at 7:00 PM local time.

If you’re not familiar with these events, Spotlight hours consist of a shortened version of the community day spawn replacing feature, meaning that all you’ll see will be the featured Pokemon for that hour. That means this one will feature a lot of Bunnelby.

As for local time, it’s a solution to timezones; it should be 6:00 PM for you when the event starts, regardless of where you are in the world.

These events also usually feature an additional bonus on top of the featured Pokemon spawns. In this case, the bonus is doubled evolution experience. This is probably one of the absolute worst available bonuses, however, so I can’t exactly say this redeems the event if you don’t want Bunnelby.

It does exactly what it sounds like, and lets players gain double the usual amount of experience per evolution – the issue comes from the fact that evolution experience isn’t that amazing, has slow animations involved, and is expensive each and every time. Using it for experience just isn’t something most players do, making this bonus fairly bad.

At least these events are usually useful for shiny hunters due to the large number of specific Pokemon spawns. As shiny Bunnelby is enabled in Pokemon Go, this is an option for anyone interested in obtaining one – good luck with your catches.

That’s everything for this spotlight hour, but you can find more Pokemon Go content right here on The Click.
