How To Prepare For Squirtle Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go
There are a few different ways for players to prepare for Squirtle Spotlight Hour. Here's how.
- Hold Off on Transfering Pokemon: Players should mark which Pokemon they want to transfer before the event to know which ones they should transfer when it arrives. The game will be providing double the candy for transferring Pokemon.
- Shiny Hunting: Shiny Squirtle is already available in the game. To increase your chances of finding one, keep on the move and interact with every Squirtle the player encounters. If it's not Shiny, run, and head over to the next one. This will save tons of time between encounters and will increase the player's chances of finding the Shiny.
- Lure Modules and Incenses: For those players looking to stay indoors, these items will make it easier to encounter Squirtles.
Pokemon Go has tons of events planned for the month of July. Outside of Spotlight Hours and Community Day, players can look forward to Go Fest, a premium event happening in the game. This music festival will introduce players to the legendary Pokemon, Meloetta for the very first time. This is definitely an event that players will not want to miss.
