Optimizing Spotlight Hour Participation

Effective preparation for these limited-time events enhances results significantly. Prioritize stocking ample capture tools (Poke Balls/Berries) to minimize interruptions. Maintaining available storage space prevents unnecessary management during peak activity, except when transfer bonuses are active – then delay clearing inventories. Strategic use of attractants (Incense/Lures) amplifies encounters, though consider mobility preferences when selecting enhancement items.

Complementary systems like Meltan’s Mystery Box can synergize with candy multipliers, accelerating evolution processes. Activating relevant Mega Evolutions during capture sessions could yield type-specific bonuses. Consumables (Lucky Eggs/Star Pieces) multiply accrued rewards when timed appropriately – particularly valuable for competitive trainers seeking rapid advancement. Evaluate both featured species and active bonuses to maximize hourly benefits.
