The upcoming Spotlight Hour is scheduled for January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. To make the most of this event, players should stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. This week's featured Pokémon is Roselia, and players will also benefit from a x2 Catch XP bonus, making it a fantastic opportunity to level up quickly.
