Does Spotlight Hour Boost Shiny Chances?
Pokemon GO has Spotlight Hour, which increases the spawn rate of a specific Pokemon. It runs every Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 6:59 p.m. local time. If you’re looking for extra candy, high CP Pokemon, and shinies, this is your best bet.
Based on data gathered by the Pokemon GO community, many people believe that Spotlight Hour does not boost shiny chances. However, it does increase spawn rate, meaning the sheer number of Pokemon you’ll encounter will improve your chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon.
